"More than thirty years ago, an attempt

ELEcTIoYEERIYG FOR NoMIYATIoYs. -
A number ot our political exchanges have
recently taken bold ground against the
practice of candidates travelling the coun-
ties to which they belong, to clectioneeE
for county nominations. There Is 10 dis
euisiug the fac, that the practice has be-
come grea, naisauce and annoyance to
large portion Of cur citizens VITO DO not,
as well as those who usually Dc, take part
10 delegate elecii5us and nominating Con-
ventious. If /; could be done away with,
much time and money would be saved By
the candidates, and 10 the eld their chau-
ces for the nomination would be as good,
., least, as under the present system. Il
might be well for ali who propose solicit
ing Offices 10 meet and agree 10 StIy at
home during the omrGss-psrmitiing peo-
pie to make selections free from the pres
sure usually brought TO bear. VIII they
do it!-Readiny and lancaster papers.
