REPUBLICAN TICKET.
REPUBLICAN, STATE CON-
VENTION.

The Convention last week
was the largest ami most har-
monious that ever assembled
at the capital, The ticket
which we. place this week at
the head Of our paper is a good
one in every respect, all but
one having been tried and
found true and able men.
The platform endorses the
administration Of President
Grant; declares in favor of the
adoption OF the fifteenth
amendment; favors the estab,
lishment of soldiers Orphans
Home; denounces the unjust
class legislation, in attempting
to disfranchise disabled SOL
'diers and college students, of
the late General Assembly; its
extraordinary length of session,
unprecedented expenditure,
neglect of business, and hostil-
ity to the State benevolent in
stitutions.

d. A Fool and his Money are soon
Parted.

Vinton county is gong to
nominate Hon. James Emmitt
as Democratic candidate for
Governor, whether the rest Of
the State will or no. This is
the county in which the name
of the Hon. Jeems is loved
-honored and revered, the seat OF
his organ, the Democratic En-.
quirer, and it is therefore to be
presumed that the Vinton
county Democracy know all Of
the qualifications the Senator
from Pike can present. Some
of these, such as elevated intel
lect! marked ability! able legs
islator! charity! executive
powerl have been presented TO
the public by the organ; but it
seems that his best hold upon
the Democracy is not TO be pre-
scented to the State at large
until the proper moment to
make it tell. We have no dis
position to place one straw in
the way Of the managers of the
Emmitt programme, but as a
collector of news we feel 1t to
be our duty to announce that
it is the common street talk Of
the Democracy here that Mr..
Emmitt owns a large distillery,
that whisky is to flow as free as
water, in addition to which he
will give one hundred thousand
dollars for the nomination
We give the talk for what it is
worth, but will just remark
that it is the common com.
plant in Mr.. E.'s own
district that che won't come
down with the stamps" in fact
that he is a political "dead
beat.D

The pike to Vinton Station
failed-the viewers and sur
veyor having failed to proceed
according to law,-Record,
June II.
| The Enquirer copies the
above and takes occasion to
deny its truth, and hints very
strongly that it knows a thing
or two connected Herewith
so mysterious that, it heSltates
to inform the benighted public.
Perhaps it does, but when we
go for an item We strike as
near headquarters as possible,
and are quite as likely to be
correct-as persons who pick up
their information on the street
corners. We gained the infor-
nation in the above item from
the Commissioners first, and
the Auditor afterwards. But
fer all that there may be a
profound mystery connected
with this turnpike; for at the
same time we gathered this in
formation we examined the
official record of the proceed
ings of the Commissioners, and
found no record whatever OF
the final disposal of this petit
ton for the pike. There's
where the mystery comes in;
but it is so strictly in accord
ance with the ime.honOred
mode the Democracy of this
county have of doing business,
that we passed it with the sim
pie query IN our own mind as
to how long our people would
allow themselves to be gulled
in the name of Democracy and
the niger. OF all the books
that have been kept in times
past or present by Democratic
county officials in Vinton
county, George Lantz's alone
excepted, not one has yet been
found in which a matter of pub
lie fact, or OF dollars and cents,
could be satisfactorily traced
to its final disposal, without the
assistance of some person duly
initiated into the "mystery."|
It seems that the Vinton Stao
ton pike is DO exception to the
rule.

aud trading progressed until
the ones with the longest
purse, most brass, and least re :.
gard for fair-dealing, had the
Convention set up in their own
interest. ae4 las
Going into the Court House
at two o'clock one of the
most prominet objects that
met our eyes were the 9candl-
dates. Med. Lottridgs sat in
the northeast window, comb
ing his raven locks, smoking Il
Wheeling stoga, and looking
disconsolate. Our friend Al.
SWAIN sat solitary and alone,
endeavoring to look leglsla-
tive. Wat. Holland was close
in his rear manipulating a red
headed delegate. james Madi-
son McGillivray was circu)a'
ting promiscuously among the
delegates, feeling his silken
whiskers, and scratching his
Websterian head. Messrs, Soule
and Mayo had completed their
labors, felt sure of their nomi-
nation, and were sparkling
some of the Republican lob
byists in the back part of the
house, Other candidates there
were in abundance, but these
were all that were visible.
The meeting was organized
by electing Harrison Lisle to
stand in the judges bench, and
cry out "Order!" at the Con.
vention. No man ever per.
formed this arduous duty more
persistently.
The delegates were invited
inside the bar. They made
rush inside the railing, but
seeing nothing to drink, they
couldn't appreciate the invi-
tation, and again gradually
spread themselves over the
court room. II
BY a strategical movement
the credentials, etc, were dis.
posed of, and Orville Cunning
moved 10 proceed to the nomi,
nations, beginning with the
lowest candidate. This was a
good movc on the part of Mr..
Cunning, and was intended to
break in upon the clique who
had bartered and manipulated
until they had everything set
to suit them. 1t failed, and
the Convention was hopelessly
in. the hands of the traders =
their programme would be
carried out. -
Balloting then commenced

H. B. Mayo, for Probate judge;
Charles Watson Holland, for
Clerk of Common Pleas Court;
j. NJ. McGillivray, for Prose
cutting Attorney, Ii. Ii. Swain,
for Commissioner.
At this point in the proceed
ings Hon. A. j.. Swain intro
duced a resolution doing away
with delegate conventions and
substituting the primary elec-
tion system. The Convention
was in a hubbub in a minute.
The old stagers, whose forte it
is to pack or set up conven-
tion and control it, all opposed;
those who depend upon the
convention for their drinks,
opposed. An excited gentle
man from Zlleski favored the
resolution in an exciting
speech, and then annoNced
that he was opposed to it

CHAs. WATSON HoLLAND,whom
the Democracy have selected
as their candidate for Clerk Of
the Common Pleas Court, is a
young man, scarcely if quite
twenty.one years Of age; we
believe, he will be twenty-one
this month. If he should be
so unfortunate as to be elected
his friends will regret it the
longest day he lives. He has
that within him which, if prop.
erly directed, will make him a
useful business man; but if he
is elected he has a sure pass
port to his own ruin. We say
this in no spirit Of unklndness,
but in the solemn belief that a
young man Of his age can not
enter the dirty field of politics
and escape its communicating
influences without he has more
force of character than this5lad
possesses. We ask his friends
to consider we'll what we have
said, and not take part in this
boys ruin. If he once gets an
office at his age he is a con-
lirmed, unscrupulous politician.
