THE ELECTION TODAY.

Tho Deuecratl Of gBpl6s County hold their
election to-day, tom ] |o'cloek to o'clock, 2.
Ne % choose peIegatea n The County conyen-
ton, which is called - meet At Centeryille
next Wednesday. Juno 10th. We have in pre-
yious numbers endeavored TO impress upon the
Democracy of the county the imperative, par
amount necessity of casting their votes at this
election. Ii is. actually. of more Importance
to our party that care be taken at the Primary
election to .taye the spondest utn chosen for
Delegates to the Nominating Convention, than
it is to attend the polls on the day of official
election. In case set of Delegates are cho-
sen who have only their own selfish, personal
ends to serve, the nominees are quite likely to
be of the same character, and, per consequence,
q weak or worthless ticket viii be submitted
to the Democracy, many of whom viii give it
lukewarm support, and others will either re-
fuse to support it at oil, or will. to defeat it,
vote with the opposition. Thus, weak or
bad ticket is certain to materially injure, If it
does not overthrow the party, and, with injury
or defeat comes that which rankles most-the
sense that it was solely from improper or
shameful conduct that the party has been cast
down.
No Democrat worthy of the respect or con-
sideration of his party brethren can refuse to
give his support to ticket of good and worthy
men, no matter what his personal relations
may be towards any of the candidates upon it ;
and to ticket so constituted will also be Civ.
en- the suppors of that class of citizens who
care little about politics, but who do care for
the personal character and general reputation
of candidates for Offices in their own imnedi-
ate camp, city, or county, and who always Sc
lect from the tickets presented the nominees
whom they know or believe to be most compe.
With ticket which challenges the respect of
the people. in case of success, the sictory Is nj
lied with high pride and honor, because OF the
actual worth of the candidates upon it and
even in defeat, that event befalls US without
chagrin or shame. for tbs reason that none bat
reputable. honorable men were on the ticket
And il is BY placing tickets in the field made
up of the best aud most competent men as
candidates that our party ID built up from mi
norities into majoriiies. rs il cannot fail 10 win
upon the people and attract their attention TO
the merits aud the integrity of Democracy,
when We SO act as to convince them OF the
correctness of our purposes, the soundness Of
our faith. and the consistency with which We
put our professions into practice. and ful6ll our
promises, as Democrats, whenever opportunity
is presented.
The place TO make very sure that every hing
shall be done to rebound TO the future veal of
the party is at the Primary election. The
fruit must resemble in kind the seed there
sown. II the men who pay taxes 10 this CON-
munity. and upon whom the burden Of county
expenditures chiefly rests, think the occasion
not worthy their attention or participation, aud
if the election is carried against their inter.
ests. aud the heavy cost Of succeeding mal.

ingly upon them, let them in that day reflect
that it was by their own neglect aud apathy on
this. the suitable. particular occasion. the evil
was put upon them by going to the polls this
afternoon, aud voting for the best men for Del
cgates, and ouy by this act, can they reasona-
bly, expect to have men elected 10 the County
Convention who win in every act consider what
is for the best interests OF the Democracy. aud
what is most likely to promote the welfare Of
Boise county in every feature.
Then be ut the polls, in every precinct, at
the hour Of opening, every miner, every mer-
chant, every mechanic, every professional man.
every shopnan aud laborer-all who are enti.
tied to vote at the Primary election this day.
Vote for the very best men, irrespective of all
merely personal, selfish motives. Vote to put
down cliques aud schemers. Vote so as to
promote the best interests Of our city, our
mines, our county, and Of our party. Vote
