Never before have the Democracy Of
Thurston county entered into political
contest with fairer hope ofsuccsss, than we
do the present year. The general attend
ance Of the precinct delegates at the con-
vention at TumwateF, on Saturday last,
where dfty out Of fiity-twO delegates elected
were present. shows the interest taken BY
the Democracy in the politics Of the county,
which Is an augury Of certain success in the
election ensuing. In this convention, every
sixth democrat represented and cast the
vote Of bis Eve fellows for the men Of their
choice for the various Offices to be flled -
Thus. as Il were, hes our ticket been form
ed BY the voters themselves, and to this
fact We attribute the general favor with
Hhi=h the nominations are everywhere re-
ceived. and the determination expressed to
rally, as to man, in It's support.
That defeated candidates for nomination
should feel little sore over their defeat for
awhile is but natural; that the personal
friends Of candidates who were disappoint-
Cd IN theirhopes Of securing a nomination,
should even participate in this feeling is
nothing more than might be expected. In
The great rush for Office. and out Of the mul-
titude Of names presented to every conven-
ton from phich TO select the fel0 officers
that are annually to be chosen, sOms, neces-
sarily, are and must be disappointed. A
convention never yet assembled and formed
ticket for our support, but what such has
been the case, and Il would bo doing Vio-
lsnee to truth to say, that there are not
some who win assert that the ticket could
be much improved, and would have been
much better, Il their o,0n names had only
been selected BY the convention as caudi-
dates for the Offices for which they were
severally applicants. 10 Elsr opinions,
fieir names would have adorned the ticket,
and give force TO The nominations made
Whilst we thus admit that indiuiduols in
our party may have expressed themselves
as dissatisfied with the nominations Of Sat
urday. we know that 10 the masses il gives
entire satisfaction, and will receive their
welcome support at the ensuing election.
Another reason for predicting the certain
election Of our ticket BY an increased dem
ocratic majority upon any former year, is
because Of the undoubted political complex
ion Of our nominees-thsir intelligence, and
their high moral worth as men and citizens.
It were vain for the tongue Of calumny to
attempt to insinuate doubts as to the form
eE, or 70 detraet from their merits as to the
latter. Our nominees, all-from represen.
tatives down 70 the lowest name upon The
tieket-are men Of character and liberal
principles-frm and true to every demo-
cratic impulse and instinct. Their democ-
raey is Of the answering and never finch
ing order, whose principles have been deep
y planted, and not easily to be eradicated.
With such men presented to the democracy
Of ThurstOn county for their support, we
fear not what may be the political hue or
popularity Of the men whom the republi-
cans may see proper to array against them.
We win elect our ticket despite every act
Of theirs. and that, too, in the face of the
very dissensions which they assert exists
amongst us. Republicans have yet to learn
with what facility democrats can and will
unite in support Of their nominations. -
Their attempts to prevent a union of what
are commonly termed Buchanan and Doug.
las democrats, viii be as futile now as here
tOfore. We may entertain different views
from one another upon matters of public
