THE COUNTY CONVENTION.
Its Nominations.

The Democratic County Convention that
convened at the Court House last Satur
day, was in every way one Of harmony and
good feeling, and will be remembered by
all as the most quiet ever held by the
Democracy in the county. Heretofore
conventions have been marked by confu,
sion and dissension, but this time the
Democracy came together for the purpose
of avoiding all tumul., and only with the
view to nominate good ticket, composed
of such men as would command the respect
and confidence Of the people. 1t is, in,
deed, gratifying to US that the Convention
acted so wisely in its proceedings, and its
conduct we are sure will unite all those dis
appointed Never before has there been q
convention conducted with more fairness
to al. aspirants than that Of Saturday,
and this, even, must be admitted By those
who were not nominated Too much
praise cannot he given Judge Pierpont, the
chairman Of the Convection, for the able
manner in which he presided, and We do
not believe a moro capable man could have
been selected for the position.
OF course there was, and may still be, u
little feeling of dissatisfaction in some sec
tions of the county, but this will be forgot
ten before the elapse of week. Demo-
Gratis must not let their seG-interests rule
them, but on the contrary seek only to
work for the whole ticket If Democrats
will only bear this in mind they vii. soon
see the good it will do al.
Rivers seems to fad fault because the
ticket is made up exclusively of Mantowoc
men. This may be true, but Manitowoc
is not to blame. The city had only FIVE
delegates IN the Convention; the others
thirty ight-were from the country, and
if our county friends saw Fl to give the
nominations to hanitowoc men, they should
be satisfied The following gentlemen COM
pose the ticket:
