Democratic Convention Called.

1t will be seen by the official notice under
our editorial head, that the Democratic Com
mittee have called delegate convention of
the Democracy of La Sale county to meet at
Ottawa on Tuesday, the 2lst of September,
inst, to make nominations for county officers.
Whatever question there may have been a
week ago as to the propriety of calling such a
convention, there can be none now fit was
regarded as barely possible that the republic
cans might make such nominations in their
convention on Tuesday as to render it unAec-
'essary or inexpedient, in order to procure
good officers, that the democrats should put
into the field a full ticket of their own, all
such srmnises or suggestions are fully dis
PEELED. The singular-in some respects shame.
ful-ticket nominated by the republicans ON
Tuesday, leaves the democrats no choice in
the matter. Justice to the people of this
county requires that they should have other
and very different candidates presented them
for their votes.
There rs no reason why the democrats, if
they are at all discreet in the choice of their
candidates, should not triumph at the coming
election in this county. At the best, the re-
publicans have but 500 majority in this
county. What is that in a vote of 10000
But it would be an impeachment of the in
telligencc of our people to take it for granted
that the republicans can rally their strength
on the ticket nominated on Tuesday That
ticket must and will be defeated, and the
democrats can and must do it.

CHARGED TO OTTAwA.AIf we have any
feeling about it at all, it ought to be one of
satisfaction rather than censure, that there is
. good deal of complaint expressed by the
" faithful" through the county at the result of
the republican county convention on Tues
day, because all the candidates were given to
Ottawa and Mendoza We cannot forbear
saying, however, that SO far as this complaint
touches Ottawa, there is a good deal of hard.
ship about it, The faithful of Ottawa did
ask of that convention the nomination of two
candidates. hitmore for clerk and Clark
for school superintendent Instead of nom
mating either, the convention nominated
Mead for clerk, whom, at their caucus, the
Ottawa faithful" by pretty emphatic vote,
had said they did aot want: and instead of
giving Clark to Ottawa, the convention NOM
mated Shepherd, a gentleman from Usage, and
charged both to Ottawa. Now is this fair (.
Ottawa asks for two men and names them.
The convention rejects them and takes one
man from Ottawa whom she did not ask for
and did not want, and charges west end
man to Ottawa, and then goes off whining
that Ottawa again gets everything The
truth is, Ottawa was pretty effcctually cleaned
out by the radical sanhedrin on Tuesday.
