The county Convention.

The Democratic County Convention, whicI
assembled at Huston Hall, in this city, on Sat
urday last, was fully represented by delegates
from every township in the county, and its de
liberntions were characterized by spirit Of hsr.
mony add concession that we have never before
witnessed in the proceedings Of any political
organization on a similar occasion.
The ticket is composed Of "good men and
true, unexceptionable as regards personal and
political standing aud qualifications for the va
rious stations to which they have been designa.
ted, aud possessing all that is requisite for a
faithful aud satisfactory discharge Of the official
duties that may devolye upon them, in the
event Of their election The sbortiye efforts Of
the opposition journals Of the :city to ''dnmn
them with faint praise, is not the least ibdica
tion that our ticket is regarded with special fss
vor by men Of all parties, and It's success is a
"hxed fact, at the coming election.
Our candidates for Representatiyes-ADAAi
Clay and HENDERsoN ELLIoTT--are too well
known to the Democracy Of Montgomery coun-
ty, to need single word Of commendaton from
US. They are both men Of unexceptionable
personal and public reputation, both in the
prime Of manhood, and both firm aud iDflexible
democrats, who have never wavered 10 a single
instance, from a firm and consistent support Of
the principles Of the Democratic party. We
have no hesitation in sayng--snd our oppoN
nents will not venture to question our asser-
tion--that their election would be Rn honor to
our county; and there is not Democrat who
will not cheerfully and readily cohcede, that
the principles which we have so long and
proudly cherished, will be manfully and hon,
orably sustained by both Of them, should they
be elevated to seats in the Legislature Of Ohio.
| BENJAMIN NJ. AYERs, our candidate for Ooun
tY Treasurer. was nominated by acclamation--
fact which clearly and strongly indicates his
popularity with the members Of the Democratic
party Of Montgomery county, TO which he has
rendered long and efficient service. II is no
disparagement to many other men in our party,
to say that BETTER selection could not have
been made. He possesses in an eminent de
gree, the qualifications required for an Office of
the kind for which he has been nominated. A
man of the most correct business habits, care~
ful and prompt in the performances of every du
ty imposed upon him, and of n genial and
obliging disposition, we know Of no man bet.
ter qualified to give full and complete satisfsc.
tion in the discharge Of an office so arduous and
responsible as that for which he has been nomi'
mated with such singular unanimity, by the
party to which he belongs his election, by
a strong and decisive majority, 1t seems to us,
there cannot be doubt.
Our candidate for Prosecuting Attorney,
THos, +. THREsHER, was also, after the with
drawal Of Mr., HoUK, nominated by acelamRs
tion. Mr. Thresher though young man, has
rendered efficient service to the Democratic par
ty of this county, and his unanimous nomins
tion to so important an office, is compliment
he we'll deserves. OF his qualifications, there
can be no doubt. A close and laborious student,
ardently attached TO the profession which he
has chosen, he will bring TO tn discharge Of
his professional duties, degree Of energy and
industry, that cannot fail Of success. His De-
wocracy is uDquestioned, and In the campaign
before US, there is no man who will render more
| efficient service in the election of the "whole
ticket"
Robert CHAMBERS, the candidate for County
Commissioner, possesses superior qualifications
for that office. An active, energetic man, well
versed in all the intrcacies of business and
finance, bis services. in the capacity of Cons
missioner, will be invaluable to the people Of
the county. He possesses all the elements of
popularity, and we regard his election as Ger.
tain.
ZEPHAHIAH CATRow was Te-nominated for the
office Of Infrmary Director He has served one
term in that Office, we'll and faithfully, and his
re. nomination is sufficient evidence that the
peo pie have full confidence in his qualifications
for the place, and that no change is demanded,
JACOB RIGLER is our candidate for Coroner
This is an office which is daily assuming more
importance, and We know OF no man better
qualified to fill it than our present nOmiues-
He has filled various township Offices to the
entire satisfaction of the people. and il elected
Coroner. we feel well assured that he will not
fail to receive the same virdict.
We have thus referred to the several candiN
dates placed upon our ticket. We haYe done
so in the fullest confidence that the Democracy
of the country will cheerfully sanction all we
never before presented for the suffrAges of the
people of Montgomery county. All the Demo.
Gratis have to do, to insure its triumphant elec.
ton, is to bring out their full strength at the
polls, Nothing else is wanting and il the eI-
traordinary unanimlty with which the proceed
ings of our Convention were conducted on
Saturday last, is true index to the feeling of

walls in our ranks, no one can doubt, but the
sterling Democracy of Old Montgomery will be
fully prepared to render good aud sstisfacto-
ry account of themselves on the second
Tuesday of October next.
So mote il be.
