In this issue will be found q call for q
county convention, for the purpose of nom
mating state representatives and county
officers, and request to the chairman o.
township committees to call primary meet
ings, for the purpose of selecting delegates
for this convention. We urge upon demo
Gratis and conservatives who are opposed &c
the expensive manner in which the county
has been run BY the radicals, to come OFT
to these meetings and send such men 81
fully appreciate the necessity ota more
economical management of affairs in the
county, and who will place in nomination
for the offices the very best men In the
county. If this be done they csnsoe e'eo'eo
a. is shown BY the fact that We now nave
a democratic Board of Supervisors elected
On ,bs.e same principles of economy
The s.me kind of work will elect the ticket
the right kind Of men be nominated.
To ensure this all those interested, and
every taxpayer must be interested, should
attend these primary meetings, and send
the best men to the nominating convention
The time is short in which to call these
meetings, aud we would suggest that this be
considered sufficient notice for all to
assemble at the usual places of meeting in
each township, say, on TUESDAY THE llTE
OF OCTOBER, and that full delegations be
sent to the convention which will be or
Thursday October 18th, at 2 o'clock P. M, al
the Court House in this city. Again we
urge upon all democrats the importance O.
tho i'm porsauce of the Offices to be fleG
demands, and we cannot fail of achieving
even a more decided victory for reform anc
economy, than was achieved last spring by
the democratic and conservative voters il
the township elections that gave the county
the first democratic Board of Supervisors il
has ever had, and can only be &C
compllshed by placing the best men il
domination. and that can only be done by
every interested voter attending the primary
meetings on Tuesday.
We have heard no names mentioned in
connection with any of the positions to be
filed but trust every township delegation
will come to the convention with the names
of the best men in their township for some
| of the Offices If this be done and it be
followed by earnest determined work we are
lust as certain of success as We were last
spring in the township elections. We told
ou then what would be successful and the
same thing will produce like results skain
When the mass of voters in the county see
the best men in the county moving earnest
| ly for reform, and better and more
economical administration and representa-
ton of their interest, they will come to tbeiI
aid, Democrats and conservative voters o.
the county will you come up to the work
now?
1t is of vital importance that the county
| send her best men to the state legislature a
u time like this. when the State is jus
| entering upon q new FRA of its existance
under q new constitution, and new orde
of things, and also when there are gigsnti.
| frauds pracsiced in the State, none perhsp'
more fragrant that the huge stealing opera
tons praeuced upon the state treasury
through the Peni,eusiary and its thriving
managers. And 1t is also important thu
We place equally as capable and honest
men in nominstiou for the other offices
Don't stay away thinking it is no use to try
for . reform, always try. and by Gil means
try now-the time has come for work the
thinking, sincere men of the county
are with US, and let us no.
disregard their demands that
the best men be called upon to come
forward. They are with US, but We mus
| first demonstrate to them that we mes,
/ what we profess, and in no way can tins b,
done better, than for ell to take lift at tn,
wheel. Attend the meetings, for it is thes'
primary meetings that give character to thi
/ y hole work.
Again urge all to do well their part
now Is the time for that work which shall e. q
ectualy rid US of those political tricks,ers VIII,
have controlled so long, so selishly and 8,
| ruinousiy to the best interests of the people
