The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1870-07-13

The editor of the Cannelton En-
quirey is completely Disguised with
the Evansville Democracy. We don't
blame him. They are a disgusting
set. But the Enquirer'S disgust is
based on a small matter. He strains
at gnat, after gulping down camel.
His trouble grows out of the eontro-
versy where the Democrats ofthis Ju.
dicial Circuit shall hold their nomina-
ting Convention. He says:
Certain parties in Evansville are
growing seriously frantic about the
Convention to nominate a Circuit
Judge and Prosecuting Attorney for
the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit; and a
correspondent Of the Evansville
Courier, signing himself "vox," land
from the tone of his letter, we hope
it is but a single voc, is about to find
"a niger in the woodpile" in the
shape of some kind of combination,
and threatens some imaginary can
didate for Prosecuting Attorney
that Vanderburgh County lciu cote
in the Convention for a can
didate for that Office. And
friend Whittlesey. chairman of all
the Committees, who has charge of
all the Democracy in this part of In
diana, who invites, who withdraws in
vttations, ordains, enacts, DEGREES, We
toes, &C., is urging that the Conven-
ton be held at Evansville. Now, as
to time and place for holding the
Convention in reply to the Evansville
Courier and its correspondent, we say
to them. that Warrick, Spencer, Perry
and Crawford counties have expressed
themselves favorable to Rockport,
August 9th, and we believe four out
of six is a majority. Evansville IS
more easily reached by Vanderburgh
and Posey counties, but the balance
of US prefer Rockport. Now, Whit
tlesey, about the only chance we see
for you to get the Convention at Ev-
ansville, is to call it there and sign
yourself Chairman of the District
Central Committee.
We do not ask for the Convention
at Cannelton. Now this cry of stop
thief" gotten up by our friends at
Evansville, will certainly do nobody
any good, and charging corruption on
the balance will in the end rather in
lure themselves than others. Now VIC
have no i'll feeling towards Evansville
or any candidate from that place, but
when we see them willing to yield
nothing, but insist in italics on having
sverything their own way, We are rea
dy to insist upon having our own
rights in the matter. There is a can
didate for Judge, in Rockport. and
two IN Evansville,-all very worthy
esnilemen, and there is just about as
much propriety in holding the Conven-
ton where one of these reside as the
ether.
Really, our patience is worn out
hearing nothing but Evansville, and
every time the most trifing thing is
to be done, we must rush down to Ev-
ansville. Evansville is a very nice
town, and the Chairman of all the
3slnlittees a very nice man, but we
prefer to stop at Rockport, and had
supposed the thing settled. We have
4 candidate for Prosecuting Attorney,
Tho is a party to no combination. nor
Is Perry County. We are instructed
Tor Laird and Henning, but if we
can't get them. then we will do the
BEST we can, and go for Dyer or John
son, or some other good and suitable
man. Let it not be understood that
we are going to fight Evansville men
unless we are forced to do so, but are
abieating to that self constituted i'm
