Marshall County Playing Into the

Marshall County Playing Into the
Hands Of Camden.
We print this morning, as requested, o
manifesto issued by the Republican Com.
mittee Of Marshall County, calling upon
the State Committee to reassemble the
Grafton Convention for the nomination Of
aRepublican State ticket, and il the Com.
mittee fail to do this, inviting the Repub.
llcans Of the State TO meet in Convention
without such call. We are bound to pre-.
sumo that this action Is taken in good
faith for the objects set forth by the Com
mittee; yet We must say It seems 10 US
highly inludicious. 1t Is absolutely Ger.
tain that II Republican ticket is put for.
ward, MIR. CAMDEN will be elected. Tie
party lines will be at once drawn. Dem.
ocrats who would vote for JACOB against
CAMDEN, will not vote for Republican,
Mr.. CAMDRN's friends understand this.
They are most anxious that Republican
ticket shall be put into the field, and are
operating through every possible channel
to induce the Republicans to do this. II
no Republican ticket Is nominated, 1t is
certain that Gov. JACOB will be an indie.
pendent candidate, and with the Republi.
can support, his election would be as.
sured. Is 1t, better, then, to-Go-through
the idle Jolly Of setting up Republican
to be beaten by ten or twenty thousand
majority, than TO elect Jacob? That
seems to US TO be the naked question. We
shall be told it is necessary to have q
ticket in the field to preserve our party
organization. What will be the use OF an
organization II it is to be employed only
to keep our antagonists united and vic.
toriousP For Just solong as the Republi.
cans set up ticket at each election Just
so long will the Democracy keep CONSOLE
datedi but just so soon as we cease to
give them anything to fight, so soon will
they begin to fight among themselves.
We take 1t the Republicans of the State
will feel better satisfied by the election of
JACOB over CAMDEN than by the defeat
oiamsn Of their own, and that the object
we profess, a fair and honest government
Of the State, will be better promoted
thereby.
The CAMDEN men here are pleased
with the action Of the Marshall County
Committee 1t is exactly what they want.
1t has been suggested to US that this man.
i!esto Is one OF heresults of Mr.. CAslDEN's
recent visit to this part Of the State, and
that in some way the committee has been
influenced through Mr.. CAMDEN's next
friend. Mr., ]. W. GALLAnER OF Mounds.
vile. We do not suppose the committee
has knowingly been made catspaw by
Mr.. GALLAHER; but we do feel assured
that nothing they could do would please
that gentleman better, and that nothing
could contribute so much to Mr.. CAM.
Denis election, as for the Republicans of
the State TO act upon their advice.
THE New York Post protests against
the use OF partially" when party is

The Posts point is well taken. We

widespread and mischievous use Of the
