The Dem ratio Candidates and Plat
form

form.
We present this morning the names OF
the nominees of the Democratic
party to represent Ohio county
in the next House of Delegates.
We shall cheerfully and heartily give
this ticket our earnest and faithful sup.
port. We have no hesitation in asking
from the Democracy that general co
operation and effort for the success OF
this ticket which will give it, as it de-
serves, the largest majority ever cast in
the couu'y.
Hon. DANIEL LAMB, the tried and
trusted servant of the people, heads the
ticket. He needs no eulogy. His pubic
record is clea-, uuimpeached and unih-
peachable. In his private life no less
than in his political career, he is above
reproaeh. His abilities find their best
illustration in the history of the State
itself, for whose formation he labored,
to whose Constitution he gave shape,
and whose best laws he has moulded
and advocated. He eminently deserves
and will largely receive the support OF
the people of Ohio county without dis
tinction of party.
Mr.. L. C. CRACRAFr, who is nomi-
mated with Mr.. LAMB from the city, is a
young man of superior mental ability,
good legal knowledge and general cul-
ture. He is possessed of remarkable
energy of character. and will labor with
untiring industry for the interests OF
his constituents. The young Demo.
Gratis of the county as whose represent
ative be appeared before the Convention,
are delighted with this nomination and
will labor INCREASINGLY to swell his ma
jority.
Mr.. JOHN FARIs, of Liberty tow nship,
is the country delegate. He is highly
intelligent, practical and popular rep
resentative of the farming interests,
and will make a useful and hard work
ing delegate. We understand that Mr.
FARIs will be supported by large
number of his Republican neighbors
whose confidence his personal standing
enables him to command.
The candidate fer County Superin-
tendent, Mr.. JOSEPH BURROWS, was
selected unanimously by the country
delegates, over whose to wnships alone,
he will have jurisdiction. His seleo-
ton was heartily confirmed by the Con-
vention, and in the opinion of all, the
nomination was one eminently fit to be
made.
The platform is brief and to the
point. The position of the Democrats
of Ohio county upon National issues
being we'll understood, it was only
deemed necessary to re-affirm their
views upon State questions, in order
that the points of difference between
the two parties might be set forth in
the most unmistakable manner. There
is certainly nothing tangible or salts
factory to any liberal man in the Re-
nnblican resolutions offered by Mr..
HuBBARp on Saturday. There is an
illusive sort of glitter about them that
ia intended to catch votes, but as to
stating with definiteness the evils OF
prescription, or pointing out any ade-
ouate remedy, they are utterly INSULT
cient and worthless. In order that such
Republicans as honestly desire the abo'
lition of our proscriptive system may
have before them policy that will Ger
tainly attain that end, we commend to
their perusal the short resolution passed
by the Democratic Convention yester'
day.
The candidates and the principles the!
represent are before the people for con
sideration. AS to the result of the elec
ton there is, of course, no room for tht
slightest doubt, if anything like ade
/ louate means are used to organize and
poll the strength of the Democratic
party in the county. Let this work bs
begun at once. Let the leaders in tn
various townships 60 about the busines
which they have in their hands. Th
Republicans have put forward a ticke
whose only hope of success rests in tn
