Democratic County Convention.


The Democrats of Jackson county
met in convention on last Saturday, and
put in nomination the following ticket;
Representative, b Kahn, Probate
Judge, John Connolly. Treasurer,
J. X. Booth. Clerk, Alex Dickson.
Commissioner, Lewis Davis The tick
ct is as good one as could be made
out OF the material on hand.
b Kahn is we'll known in the coun-
ty. He is good neighbOr and citizen,
and for any business which he under
stands, is good man. In the Ohio
Legislature, he would approach nearer
to 0 than even poor DUNCAN did, and
that is saying \ g ood deal
John Connolly has not been long in
the county, aud ever since he has been
here he has been clerk at Orange Fur
mace. We presume he knows bsolute-
ly nothing about the laws of Ohio, as
he Is said to he a Kentuekian That
will be sufficient voucher for the style
OF his Democracy. Poor Washam, who
is lawyer, every way competent, and
irstrate man every way, had no more
chance than stump tailed bull in fly
time But he was one of Abe Lincoln's s
cut throat hirelings That acco UNITS
for his fate
J Il. Booth is the same gentleman
who ran against Mr.. Cherington two
years ago, and who got himself elect ed
by minors and rebels from Virginia,
who were not citizens of Ohio, votin g
for him. He was ousted by the case
of contest, which was tried before
Judge Plyley. A good many Demo
Gratis voted for Mr.. Booth under misap-
prehension, thinking that be was the
man who shot the tyraut Lincoln. But
he IS not that Booth.
Alexander Dickson is son Of J.
w. Dckason, formerly Coroner of this
county. His father was Republican,
and lost his life in the army. Alexan-
der was Republican, and soldier in
the army We never knew he was a
/
Democrat until about a month ago.
Why such man should JOIN such a
party, is strange. Mr. Dickson is a
worthy young man, fully competent to
discharge the duties of the office. He
is decidedly the best man on the ticket.
But Charley James will beat him badly.
Mark that People do not like these
turn coats. Mr.. Dckason will find
that his Republican friends, although
they may pity him, and deplore his
fall, yet they will work harder for bis
defeat than they would for a man who
had never been right. None but Dem
ocrats will vote for him, aud not all of
them,
Lewis Davis is a good man for Com
missioner, save his politics, and one
other thing. Mr.. Davis is fond of be-
ing called Captain Davis. Let no one
suppose that heis one of fLncolu's hire
lings. He is guiltless of that sin.
Neither was he a Captain in the Con-
federato service. He was Captain of
steamboat. That was all So do not
be alarmed, copperhead voter. You
ought to vote for him. He is as sound
a copperhead "a any of you dare be.
But Mr. Davis cannot come in this
time.
All the candidates except Mr. Dicka-
son, reside in the town of Jackson. The
little clique of politicians in town, who
run the machine, had things fixed up
in advance. The delegates from the
country might as well have staid at
home, They tried one year ago to get
candidate or two from the country, but
they got their eyes opened then, and
now they did not seem to care how
things were managed
Now let the Republicans ito work,
and defeat this ticket by three to fve
hundred It can be done,
