The Democratic Convention,

The Democratic Convention,
Every district was fully represented in
the Democratic Convention on Monday, and
although much personal preference existed
in regard to candidates, we never knew a
political body to be so entirely unanimous
in its general purposes, nor one to pass off
so entirely satisfactory to all Interested.
The candidates nominated are eminont-
ly worthy, whether as citizens, Democrats,
or business men, and will receive the en-
thusastic support of every genuine Demo.
crat The nominations, though conducted
in several instances with much spirit, were
all fairly an honorably made. The rcso-
lulions speak the sentiments Of the party
in this county, and are eminently national
and patriotic. Indeed we do not see how
any fair man can find fault with any thing
that was done.
Assembiy-Col. L. L. TATE received
tho nomination of this county, over his op.
ponent, John A. FMnston, for this impor-
tant and honorable position. We have no
doubt that the other counties composing
the District will concur in this nomination.
This county is entitled to one Member
and Wyoming the other The person
presented by this county is known as a
man of age and experience, and if nomina-
ted by the Representative Conference his
election is forcgono conclusion.
Sheri8-For this Office the Democracy
of Columbia saw proper to nominate Jo-
sIAH II. FURMAN-a very worthy gentle.
man, indeed; and withal sound demo-
cratic Union man. He is satisfied with
the Constitution as it is written, and is
willing to sustain the administration in all
Constitutional measurs. Mr.. L. does not
enjoy the acquaintance of the people Of
Columbia county to as large an extent as
the balance of the ticket, but we will ven
ture to say this much for him, that there is
not more pleasing, honorable, worthy
and honest man upon the ticket than the
person in question, and if elected, 1--WE will
vouoh the asscrtion) will make most cap
ital officer.
Jwiges-It will be seen by the proceed
ings Of the Convention that there we're four
candidates for this Office. We elect two
this fall, however. Tho successful ones
were JouS McREYNoLDs, Of Hemlock, and
STEPHEN BALDY, of Cattawis,a. They
were chosen on the first ballot, over their
opponents, Evans and Mack. Mr.. Baldy
is at present one Of our Associate judges,
filling the vacancy caused by the death of
PETER KLINE. The nominees arc we'll
qualified for the position they aspire to,
and with fair dealing will be elected.
Neasurer.-For this most important
office in the gift Of the people of this coun--
try, We place before you for your support
an amply qualified and tried person.
JAMES S. McNINCH, of Caltawissa, prede,
cessor Of the present worthy incumbent.
This Office is of great Importance to the
taxpayers, therefore We would esteem it
highly important that they should SEQ to
electing man who has proved himself an
efficient and able officer. His nomination
over very ostimablo young man-Wil-.
liam I. Shuman-speaks much in his ia
vor. Hc will be triumphantly elected.
Conlmissioner-There did not seem to
be much strife for this Office. The people
pretty generally conceded the nomination
to the successful candidate. CHARLES H.
Hess, of Mitflin. Mr.. II. is an honest
intelligent and industrious farmer, posses
sing all the qualifications to make good
officer. He knows well how taxes are
earned, hence we have reason to suppose
that he will prove q judicious and careful
Commissioner.
For Auditor. the Convention nominated
John L. Fowler, Of Pine, who, We no doub
will give general satisfaction as an officer
and make strong acquisition to the board
of Auditors.

; good officer. Success 10 him and the
