presented BY the late Deposra,ic and 1.-The
raj Convention, which met In this city. We
state further that there was less trickery and;
more fairness than usually p~reyatls In such
bodies, and as . consequence the convention,
la the selection OF candidates, made the near.
est possible spprosch to expressing the voice
Of the people. A proof OF this fact was the
general aatisfactions the nomination gave to
every. part Of our county, and the unanimity
with which tue people rallied to the support
Of the ticket. Yet this convention admitted
by Old citizens TO have been the fnirest aud
most smoothly conducted body OF the kind
that ever convened in the county had hardly
adjourned before less than u half dozen sore
heads in Lexington went to work TO create
dissatisfaction with the ticket. These men
wear u party name. but are n reproach to the
| name OF Democrat or Liberal. They are po-
lHlcal nondescripts that aspire to lead when
they have scarcely brains enough to follow.
They pretend to have the interests of 1.-THE peo-
pie at heart, IN urging this and that man to
! run il utlcpchieuL Cuu0iuiutcSy "ucu IL
whole object is to crafty petty spite and
promote their own selfish ends These men
hare u pirate understanding. and ares in secret
aiiianee wiM the Radedl purity. They are
trying to gull the people with such '.clap-
trap As appears IN a certain paper in this
city. under the suspicious head of "'ddrertise-
msnt." while in The dark. they are laboring for
the election of certain Raiicul candidates.
They pretend to be friends to the lately en-.
iranchised element, while in reality they are
the worst enemies that element has in the
county. Some of them are Radicals writing
Iuuuer the name Of 'sDemocrat," and urging
the claims of certain iSdepeadent candidates,
Let every Democrat and every Liberal turn
u deaf ear to their appeals. Let no one
give the least encouragement or support te
any one Of these independent candidates
Nearly all of them are Grant Radicals, or run
ming in the interest of that party
Not one of them, however wor
thy personally, is entitled TO your support
Not a single one will be supported by u "cor
porals guard outside OF the Radical party
and consequently wilt have no chance iol
election. Remember that in supporting sucf
candidates you are not only throwing ava.
your votes, but guilty of giving laid ant
comfort" TO u party which has oppressed anC
outraged you for the last seven years. HAY,
we not had enough of Radicali>m and Radi
cal ~oficer>f They have, in the past, shown NJ
sympathy for the people, nor any regard fo
their Interests. How then can they expec
anything hut defeat and complete overthrow
} al. the polls? The verdict Ut the people ha
J already gone forth against them in the cor
dial and active support given to the Demo
! cratic ticket. Let that unanimity continue
let no Liberal or Democrat stray from thu
foId-iet no scattering rofes be cast for ind
, pendent canlidates. but let every one worI
and vote for the regular nominees OF tn
