Democratic Nominations.

Monroe county, we are glad to see' IN
tends to send ELIEL HEADLEY back to the
Legislature. Among the purest and most
attentive of Representatives, with more
good, hard common sense than usually
falls to the lot of man, he made the best of
Legislators, as he is among the best OF men.
The following is the Ticket nominated
at Woodsfield ON Saturday last: - IA
For Representative, Eliel Headley for
Clerk, Jere. Williams; for Treasurer, Dan
iel Neuhart; for Sheriff, Joseph Myers; for
Prosecuting Attorney, John 2. Sprlggs ;
for Recorder, Daniel O'Conner; for Com
missioner, William Workman; for Intirm-
ary Director, William Read for Coroner,
John Muhleman.
The following are the Resolutions adopt
ed: u la
Resolved, That this Convention learn
with pleasure that the great champions of
Democracy, Hon. Allen G. Thurman, Hon.
George H. Pendleton and Hon. G. l.. Val
landigham, will address the people of Mon
roe on Thursday, September II, and we
pledge them hearty and enthusiastic
welcome to the "Banner County,"
ResolUed, That we are decidedly opposed
to political and social equality between
the White and African races-believing
them that will lead in the future, if adopted,
to a war of races, we are, therefore, op-
posed to the proposed amendment to our
State Constitution, allowing Negroes to
vote while itdisfranchises White men.
Resolued, That we are in favor of equal
and just taxation and that while the three
thousand millions of dollars, invested in
Government bonds, are exempted from tax
alton, it is the duty of the Government to
relieve the people of the onerous burden
now imposed upon them to sustain the aris-
tocracy of wealth; and it is believed this
can be done by liquidating the bonded debt
of the Government in legal tender notes,
Resolred, That being opposed to the mil
itary power usurping or superceding civil
authority, we denounce the acts of the pres
ent Congress in establishing military des-
potisms in part of the United States as
the act of petty tyrants, who, to subserve
their own selfish purposes, disregard the
Constitution and the rights of the people.
Resolued, That it is the duty of every
Democrat to support his local paper; we
therefore urge upon the Democracy of the
county to extend a liberal support to the
''Spirit of Democracy" -. -a ~
Resolred, That we pledge our cordial and
hearty support to the ticket this day nom
mated.
: Resoloed. That we fully indorse the plat
form of principles ennnciated by the Dem
ocratic State Convention at Columbus on
