pemooratic Judicial Convention.


Our Democratic friends held
Convention at Greenfield on Mon
day last, to nominate Il candidate
for Judge Of the Court of Common
Pleas Of this subdivision, but they
didn't do it. Reason why, because
the party was divided between two
candidates, viz. Mr. Stafford, Of
Ross, an old Democrat, for whose
especial benefit the extra judicial
position was made, and our towns
man, ex-Judge r. NJ. Briggs, a re-
cent convert to the heresies of the
latter-day Democracy. After a
good many unsuccessful efforts to
concentrate the rebellious elements
of the inharmonious democracy up
on one of the two candidates for
Judicial honors, it was ascertained
that the machine had come to a
dead loch, and the hills of Gibralter
were not more permanently fixed
in their immovable position, than
were the friends of each candidate
for their Judicial idol. Rumor says
there were angry looks, a great deal
of cross firing, and even indulgen-
ces IN irreverent expressions and
language bordering on profanity,
used to express their contempt for
those who were unwilling to yield
to the Just, mild democratic de-
mands of their opponents. Thus
the happyJamHy stood, each mem
Der of the Convention with his back
higher than pussy's, and everybody
expecting momcntarily to see the
fur fly; but it didn't, although the
parties took opposite directions in
search Of their homes. Tis said,
however, that an armistice was
agreed upon, and meeting is to be
held on tho 1st of September.

The Democracy of Ross coun-
ty who attended the Judicial Con
vention at Greenfield, on Monday
last, evidently thought man who
had made his confession of faith
and Joined the party on Saturday,
and asked them to nominate him as
their candidate for an office worth
$4,000, was an interloper. They
want him to show his faith in the
principles of the party, by works
of a greater length of time than an
intervening Sabbath. Old soldiers
o the cross must be rewarded for
their services first.

- On Friday night last the Union
men of this place, and number
from the country, met at the Court
House and completed the organiza-
ton of Grant and Colfax Central
Club. The meeting was well at
tended, and ably and eloquent
ly addressed by Capt. j. A. o. Yeo-
man, now of Fort Dodge, Iowa,
formerly of this place, and Col. H.
B. Maynard, of our town. Prepa-
rations are being made to carry on
the campaign in lively, vigorous
manner. There is much at stake in
this contest, and it requires action
from now until the election polls
are closed. We have a sleepless
opponent to contend against, and
if we think the achievements of the
war are worth what they have cost
the nation in blood and treasure, it
behooves US to be up and doing,
for every rebel who fought us in
the war, is arrayed against the cleo
ton of our candidate, Gen. Grant,
as they we're in the hottest of the
conflict at arms; and if they sue
ceed in the defeat of Gen. Grant
and the Union ticket, shouts OF
victory will { o up all over this land
and the rebels will claim, as they
would have a right to dc, that they
have achieved at the ballot-boX what
Union arms prohibited them from
doing with the sword and the bayo-
net. That is the plain, unvarnishcd
truth, and the man who cannot
foresee this is to be pitied for his
stupidity.
Rally, then, boys, Rally! you
fail to sustain by your ballots this
fall the position you have gained
by four years Of bloody war, you
will, if you have a united Govern
ment, have to repeat the dread ex
pertinent of sustaining the Union
and the best Government on earth,
by force of arms.

1t is a lamentable thing for man
who has all his life previously been
in an honorable healthy political

MOODY would rehder it, past pray

GRAND DEMOCRATIC MASS MEET
ING.--In pursuance Of previous
notice and large amount of Wig
orous drumming up, the Dcmocra'
cy Of these whereabouts to the
number short of thousands, assem-
bled in this place on Saturday last,
and considering that the meeting
was gotten up for the benefit OF
our respected friend, Judge Briggs,
who was to relieve himself OF an
accumulated mass of bitterness to-
ward his old friends who had in
days passed held him up, the meet
ing in point of numbers was but a
meager affair, and the Judge must
have felt keenly the failure Of his
newly acquired political friends to
appear in larger numbers to hear
what so great an acquisition to
their party as himself had to say on
renouncing his old political friends
and taking upon himself the obliga-
tions imposed by the Democratic
party on its members.
The Judge made long speech,
in defiance of the efforts Of the ele-
ments to drown him out with tor
rents Of rain, and, we suppose, like
all lawyers, he made the most he
could out of a very bad case. His
confession Of faith seemed to be
satisfactory to the chiefs ofthe tribe
and he was taken in full member
ship with the party, entitled to all
the rites Of the Democratic persua-
sion, and adjudged, by the brethren
Of this county at least, to be worthy
of wearing the judicial ermtRe.-
He pledged his support to Seymour
and Blair; and in the remarks we
heard him make, proved himself, as
we thought, an apt scholar and re-
markably proficient in the use Of
the Democratic garbage that is
commonly indulged in by politi-
clans whose ambition has not been
exactly gratiiled by the party with
which they have formerly acted.
