The Convention.

The indications are that the Con-
vention to-day will prove one Of the
most interesting ever held in the
county. The Republicans of the coun-
try townships have manifested great
interest, and it only remains for the
Republicans Of the city to emulate
their zeal, to make the Convention,
both in numbers and enthusiasm,
superior to any ever before held in
Yanderburgh County. The occasion
is one of great importance to the tax
payers of the county. The Democratic
Convention has given great dissatis-
faction to its partisans, and the
ticket il nominated, while it
presents the names of a few
good men, has a still larger num-
Der of very weak material. The can
didates for County, Commissioners
are especially poor. Not one of them
is competent for the position for
which he has been nominated. The
election of such men will place the
county in as bad a condition as did
the success of the Democratic ticket
last Spring the city. Those Evans
Vile tax payers who are grooming
in spirit over the appraisement Of
their property by the present City
Council, may imagine what will be
their condition when to the incompe-
tency of city officials is added the
laundering of still more incompetent
County Commissioners.
ltis for the business men of Evans-
