Ohio County Politics.

We copy the following from the Wheeling
Register of the 18th inst, in which the views
advocated by US some time since are warmly
seconded -
1t is to be hoped that the Democratic Ex>
ecutive Committee of this county which meets
to-day. will accede to what seems to be the
almost unanimous wish of the party and pro-
vide for making nominations this fall BY the
popular vote. That system is incidentally the
fairest and most satisfactory. because it. more
completely than any other, permits the whole
party to participate in making nominations
and will result in the formation of ticket
composed only OF the most acceptable AM
popular men. The delegates to the County
Convention will inevitably be chosen with
references to the SheriHalty alone, while the
candidates for other Offices will be completely
sat sea" in the Convention. without compass
or rudder, and no human being can foretell
the result. The least popular candidate is
just as likely to be nominated as he who is
preferred by wothrds of the Democratic
voters, and it eau scarcely be considered
within the range of probability that in the
whole ticket presented by the Convention
there will not be some name or names that
would better have been left off The surest
plan of selecting candidates that will be cheer
fully and cordially supported by the whole
party is to permit the whole party to say who
they shall be.
The Democracy of Ohio county cannot aft
ford to have any party discords or division
this fall; they cannot afford to put forward
ticket that any Democrat can say was un-
fairly nominated they cannot afford to en-
counter even the suspicion of packed Con.
vention." The ticket nominated must be one
that will be recognized in all its parts as the
choice of a majority of the party. else it will
be impossible to induce the entire party to
give it an united support. 1t needs but the
detection or dissatisfaction of few Democrat.
ic voters to put this county completely under
Republican rule, and, especially at the pres,
emf time when party ties are being generally
relaxed and there are so many indications of
the complete disruption of all party trammels,
it behooves those who hope for success at the
coming election in this county to be guided
by the safest and most prudent counsels
We have not suggested the popular mode
of making nominations in the interest of any
particular candidate for Office but in the in.
terest of the whole party and of every candi-
date who has been named. We want to see
every one of the gentlemen proposed have
fair and equal chance, and we want to let the
Democratic party in this county have free
and just opportunity of declaring who shall
be its nominees. The plan is only to be
dreaded by him who feels his own weakness
and fears the verdict of the party.

This gentleman is supported editorially by
the Shepherdstown Register as candidate for

but will support Col. Boteler, of course, if he
should be so fortunate as to receive the nomi-
nation. He has at least the merit of never
having appeared ashamed of his war record.
We think, therefore, that if he were to get
into Congress, he would have the moral
stamina to resist any seductive offer by the
Republicans. however advantageous to his
personal interests it might at first appear to be-

the business of our own city, as those

Our farmers will be pleased to learn
that Messrs. McFerrin, Armstrong
& Co., of Louisville, have made ar
rangements to operate the pork pack
ing establishment in this place. Be-
ing a wealthy firm, owners of fattened
hogs may expect to receive, in cash,
the prices paid at other packing points.
The certainty of market, near
at hand, is a point of much interest
to the farmers of the adjacent coun-
try and especially so, doing away with
the necessity ofdistant shipment and a
saving of the profits usually paid to
middle men. The establishment here,
will be amply able to pack all the hogs
in convenient distance of this market,
and the character for fair dealing ac-
corded to the firm, gives assurance to
the farmer that he can do as well, by
selling here, as shipping to more dis
tant point. OF the prices to be paid,
we are not authorized to speak, and it
will, of necessity, depend upon the
the prices paid elsewhere and upon the
relations between supply and demand.

cowardly and brutal act, lie being
from home, in answer to modest
knock at the door, Mrs. Estes opened
it. the thief entered, and hourishing n
1nurtvTSus looking knife, threatened
instant death, if she did not hand him
tine sixty dOltars, Lc knew was in the
house. As almost any other defense
less woman would have done she pro-
0luced thc money, whereupon the icnd
struck her to the floor and kicked
her, infcting sore bruises, and then
made his escape, This incident teach
,cs two valuable lcssons-onc is that
people should not keep Eoney in the
house, and the other is, that every
hirclmg is a SPY upon the family, and
should be kept in igssrance of its
financial operations.
