The Office Seekers, and the People.

Mr.. EDITOR The hopes, the passions, the
pride, and probably the necessities, of those
seeking or aspiring to Office, has doubtless
blinded their Judgment, for no cool, discrete
person looking to the best interest Of his Coun
ty, would allow himself to be made the instru-
ment of such distracting disorganizations, as
has occurred in the late attempts to nominate
County officers. It mnst be apparent to each
batch, who have received the nominations, that
their respective friends are going to adhere to
them, and as a consequence each must be de-
1eated Then gentlemen, it does not require
the wisdom Of Solomon TO predict who will
be elected Are you so mad, that you would
sooner try to rule in hell, than serve in Heay-
en-, and drag the innocent with you?
for one, gentlemen, would be willing to
let you taste the bitter cup again, but do not
desire to be made victim with you. It's not
your own individual interest alone that you
are jeopsrdizing, but that of the entire people
of the County Can't you stop in your mad
career if not, the people should stop you, by
rOtiRg for an entire aelC ticket. But to APP
pease you, would suggest that a primary
election be hell on Saturday, the l7h day Of
august, and the persons receiving the largest
number of votes, for the respective offices, be
the Candidate to be voted for by the Democrat
ic Conservative voters on the day of the Tegu-
lar election. What say gou all gentlemen.

Notes on the Situation.

County politics are In a terrible middle and tie
people want to know who are responsible. Some
body bursted the nominating Convention and when
they did, they bursted the party. In this article
aud in others which will follow, we propose TO deal
with the record-let the guilty stand from under.
The Townships in mass meetings elected delegates
to represent them in the Convention These mass
meetings were the largest ever held for any pur-
pose, and selected a set Of gentlemen who, IN point
Of responsibility and personal weight constituted
a body equal 10 any that can be brought together
in the county. These delegates we're not ietiered
with instructions but the people trusting to their
well known experience and intelligence, made
them general agents TO act at discretion, and no
one except their respective constituency, has the
shadow OF right 10 criticise their action.
1t was publicly proclaimed, before and after the
meeting in Chariestown Township, that the fight
for delegates was made with an eve single to the
Sherilaltv-all the other officers were ilnored.-
Great effort was made TO appOrtion and distribute
the delegations but in vain the reply was that each
delegation was elected in the interest OF some par
Ocular man for Sheriff. Hence, the tacit OF i'm
piled instructions 10 delegates NAV be thus express
ed" get our man for Sheriff and 90 the best you
can about the other Offices
When the delegates came together, 1t was as
certained that no one candidate could poll ma
iority of the Convention, viz: lG votes were ne
Cessarv 70 nominate and no one man commanded
so many. What was 10 be done? The object of
the Convention was TO harmonic conflicting inter-
ests and concentrate the party on a single indi-
vidual. To eifectuatc this object many Of the dele
gates yielded the preferences of their constituents
in regard TO certain offices.
Now, il is manifest, compromises Of this sort
must occur wheneyera Convention is called TO
nominate for large number Of Offices, and it is
usual to have such Conventions vaguely charged
with corruption. But be it remembered, the pco-
pie don't go back on their agents the disappOint-
ed. only, talk in this way. There was a vast deal
of gossip about "rings and bargains" after the
Convention Of last fall yet observe the people,
in very many cases, selected the same delegates
over again, and mark the prediction, these same
gentlemen will continue 10 represent their respec-
tive Townships if another Convention is called.
Men who for years have been building up pri-
vate character and live without reproach among
their nsighboTs, to whom they are best known,
have friends, who will not stand by and see their
fair names branded with intamy. Yituperation is
no argument Some Of these delegates may de
serve scolding. but if they do, their constituents
and not outsiders are the proper ones % do the
scolding. Let the man without sin cast the first
stone. JUsTICE
