THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTIONS
Union and Harmony Prevailed.

The Democrats of the county will find
above the Ticket made out Last Saturday
by their Representatives in the County and
Assembly Conventions, and in presenting
it to the people we ask for it-for every
man on it-a cordial and united supper,
at the ballot box on the 9Th of November
next.
In the absence of the official proceedings
of the County Convention, We will give
brief sketch Of the action had in it. 1t
was presided over with much ability by
Hon. II. S. PIzRPosT, Of Two Rivers
JONI B. BURKE, Esq, Of Rocklsnd, acting
as Secretary. The Convention was a. full
ly attended as usual, one or two distant
towns not being represented. Harmony
and good feeling prevailed throughout its
session, and The resolutions adopted by the
State Convention were unanimously en-
dorsed as the sentiments of the Democracy
of Manitowoc county.
The following resolution was also unan-
imously adopted
Resolved, That as an expression of opin-
ion on the part of the Democratic Couven
ton of Manitowoe, we unanimously re-
commend the Democrats Of the 18th Sen
atorial District to support JOSEPH Villas,
Jr., Esq Of Mauitowoc, to fill the vacan-
cy occasioned by the resignation of b. ].
SWEET, Senator from this District.
Mr.. Villas is too we'll known to the
people of this District to require any re-
commentator from US. He has long been
known as one Of our most substantial bust
ness men-of strict integrity, and un-
swerving devotion to the best interests OF
North Eastern Wisconsin. In him the
people may expect reliable representative
in the State Senate-one who will on ev-
cry occasion guard and protect their rights.
We cannot doubt that his selection will
be acceptable to our friends in Calumet
county, and that they will rally to his
support.
The editor of this paper received fair
nomination for Clerk Of the Circuit Court.
OF him it would not be proper for us to
say much. 1t will be sufficient to state
that should he have the good fortune to
receive a majority of votes At the election,
we will pledge ourself that the business OF
the office will be we'll taken care of, its
duties attended to with fidelity, and per-
formed with reference TO the best interests
of the people without regard to party
AS the candidate is in position where he
cannot we'll speak for himself, he trusts
that bis friends will supply the deficiency,
and no. only talk for him, but Work for
hi. election.
b. ]. VAN VALKgSBUReu, Esq, Of Two
Rivers, is the candidate for School Super
inteudent. It is a mistaken idea that no
one but School Teacher should Gil this
Office. On the contrary, we believe that
a thorough and efficient business mana
person of Industry and business habits
should perform its duties, at least until the
new system is established and in working
order Such man is Mr. VAN VALKEs-
puRGH. Possessed Of good education,
having had large experience in business,
at present the head of one Of the largest
business houses in the county, aud first
class accountant and book keeper, we
are confident he is competent in all re.
spects for the position, aud that the people
c,nno, select better man.
