DEMOCRATIC PoLlTios.-The fight going on in
the Democratic ranks, is becoming warm by de-
grees, and disagreeably certain that some change
must be made to secure the vote of uncertain
Democrats. Those dyed in the wool are now
ranged on sides for johnson or Haight, but they
cannot elect Governor if they were all to vote
for one man. There are many men whose De-
mocracy is too thin to bind them to any particu-
lar plan the leaders may lay down. 1t is such
men who hold the balance of power; if they
are not satisfied they can break the political
slate any time. Nor will they be so easily sat-
ished this time as they have been heretofore
There are various questions that vitality interest
the rank and file they have been deceived by
men whom they trusted in Office. Those off,
cials are taken to be the representatives of the
party, and the party held responsible for their
shortcomings. They cannot see that all the
party has been deceived as we'll as themselves ;
they will not forgive their party for the cruel
deception practiced upon them. All this must
be considered and provided for the people must
be pleased. The County Committee may appoint
all the delegates to the State Convention, and
may succeed in nominating some favorites, but
the people have the voting to do it is their
votes that count in election, and not the dele
gates to conventions.
The hunters for fat Offices, and sef-constituted
leaders, may set the trap aud bait it with more
fair promises but old birds are not to be caught
the second time in the same trap its appear
anee must be greatly changed to get them into
it again.-S. r. Peoples Journal
Weekly Trinity journal., 1871-05-13

THIS Crawford plan is the worst ire-brand
ever introduced into a party. In the first place
it being an election within the ranks, prior to
general election, and creates animosites and
chickering's among those who should work har-
moniousy together, or against common en-
emy. Secondly, the large towns in county
generally secure majority of the nominees, and
this causes all the balance of the county to be-
come dissatisfied and apathetic, so that they are
more disposed to defeat their own partizans
than those who are opposed to them politically.
Thirdly, candidates within the party, are as
anxious, under this plan, to secure a nomination
as an election, to defeat the enemy, and they
spend as much money in endeavoring to get
upon the ticket as they would to be elected at
the polls the result is that when it comes to
making political canvass they are exhausted
both physically and pecuniarily.
The Crawford County plan would answer in
those counties which are Overwhelmingly Re-
publican, if any such there are, but in closely
contested districts it is suicidal to both the an
didates and the party .-Oakland News.
