our friends and patrons one and

will endeavor to continue to
merit their patronage. To the

who have hoped and worked to

only express our contempt Of
their puny efforts, and assure
them that they have increased
rather than diminished our

Gle the views of the editor o
the Democrat on the proceed
ings of the late Republican
convention in this county
From this two columns OF im'
pudence and stupidity, the
careful reader may be able tc
learn something of the abridg'
ed edition of the Democratic
candidate for Probate Judge
of this county, who holds forth
in the aforesaid Vinton Demo.
crat, and he may learn a little
about the late convention.
Mr.. Mayo is very much ex'
orcised that some of the town
ships that are rather incGn'
venient Of access were not
represented. He does not
consider the fact that the Dem
ocratic Convention only had a
representation by the persist,
ent and energetic drumming
up of the office.'eekers who
had and ak to grind.
He says candidates were
not hunting delegates, but the
delegates were looking anx'
iously for candidates" Com
pare this with the Democratic
convention, where a few men
who had been setting the wires
and packing delegations for
weeks, bounded delegates
around, begging, trading, buy
ing, and praying the votes to
foist themselves or their fell
lows on the convention; where
good men, known throughout
the county as reliable and re-
sponsible, are pushed aside to
make way for the ring.masters;
where the honest though mod.
est Democrats of the county,
those who by patient toll have
helped to make the party, are
bartered away for unknown ad'
venturers; where modest merit
is snubbed by impudence, and
the vote of the convention
shows-not the wish Of the
people or the party-but mere
ly the success Of ring. We
would to heaven some OF the
Democrats in this county had
sufficient mOdesty and discre'
ton to wait till they are sought
for. The dominant party in
our county would then elect
better men than they do now,
because then their conventions
would come nearer expressing
the wish of the better portion
of their party.
MIR. Mayo thinks there was
a great deal Of trouble to get
a chairman for the convention,

chosen, his speech don't suit

alton" is won't 10 startle and

for Mr., Shades thus:
"Nobody spoke, and soon recollect-
ing himself, he arose and with his
left hand gracefully concealed behind
his coat tail, delivered himself OF the
following
POLISHED ExoRDIUM:

with beautiful brass ring conspicu-
ously displayed OH his little finger

Well, as to how that will dc
for an "exordium," we leave tc
the judgment of the young
man eloquent, but we do say
that it is a very plain, straight
forward statement of the OBJ
,ject of the convention, and
sounded like business.

may not suit the young arlsto-
Gratis notions OF style-such
common things may not-but
poor folks have poor ways, and
however inconvenient poverty
may be, it isn't in itself any
disgrace. Mr.. Shades made a
very good chairman; he is an
old citizen of Vinton county,
is not a candidate for any Of
flee, is no orator, and may not
deliver "poliShed exordiums,'
according to our aristocratic
Kentucky orators ideas; but
he makes good flour at his
mill, and gives honest weight
and good measure.
The management of the con-
vention was left by the people
of Macarthur to "the delegates
from tile country" Wonderful,
indeed! Does the young gem
tleman mean to say that the
country delegates" are not en-
titled to as much respect as the
toson delegates. Smart boy, this
editor; rather aristocratic in
his notions, but ho will come
out of that when he has lived
in Vinton county as long as
some of these "country dele
gates" at whom he sneers.
Then following up his per-
sonalilies he attempts to say
that the convention refused to
make H. 9. Jones Secretary,
when he knows that Capt
Jones was not a delegate. And
our c6mpositor -"Tony"- g
private citizen, who attends to
his own business, and was a
mere spectator of the proceed
ings of the convention, comes
in for his share. Mr.. Barleon,
being of German descent and
a Republican, has become nsed
to the sneers and petty perse.
cutions of the party that
claims to be such special
friends of the foreigner.
Following this he casts a few
low flung thrusts at Mr.. Robert
Sage, a gentleman we'll known
in this county before the edi.

tie low insinuations and mean
personal filings, even at common
folks, are uncalled for, and can
make you no friends, neither
will it secure votes TO your
ticket, or drive voters away
from US.
Then the Democrat veinces a
warm regard for the soldiers.
This is novelty. Last fall we
nominated three as brave sol.
diers as ever stemmed the tide
of battle, for the best offices
on the county ticket. All had
done their duty, and one had
been shot through in battle,
and been twice incarcerated in
rebel prison pens. What
amount of sympathy did your
party extend to themG You
cried out, "G. A. R." and made
the fact of their having been
soldiers the grounds of their
defeat. The point to this sol.

fact that prominent Demo
