THE C0NvENTI0N AND THE
TICKET.

here for q number Of years past. A
splendid set of delegates was assembled,
every township being fully represented
by intelligent and substantial citizens.
and all present seemed to be actuated
by the single desire Of placing in nomi-
nation the very best ticket that could be
selected, There was no discord, no un
seemly Earring, no manifestation OF ill
temper or of discomfort. The defeated
candidates and their several friends
bowed with much good grace to the re.
decision arrived at, and the whole tenor
Of the Convention indicated a harmony
aud a consolidation Of the Democratic
psrty that is the surest presage OF sao-
cess.
Captain HENRY CoNANrs course with
regard to the nomination for the Sher-
iffalty has covered himself with honor
and added largely to the number OF DIS
friends. He is to be congratulated
upon the very fattering vote cast TOT
him in the selection Of delegates last
Saturday, no less than upon the grace
full manner in which he recognized the
voice OF the majority and pledged his
| earnest efforts for the election OF his
more successful rival. There is q
moral heroism, manliness about sncn
conduct, that plucks honor even from
defeat and robs disappointment OF. hsii
its sting.
And similar commentator must be
\ bestowed upon Mr.. COOP whose with
drswal in favor Of Mr.. CRAcRAFr was
very handsomely done and abundant'y
merited the very hearty applause with
which the announcement was greeted
by the Convention.
The ticket nominated is, as q whole
we'll worthy of support. The CHIEF
interest ceutered in the Sheriffalty, al
the most remunerative Office in thu
State, and the selection of Mr.. GEORGE
lR. Jingle for that place is merltee
reward for the most arduous and un
firing labers in behalf of the Demo
cratic party. For a number OF year
past Mr.. Jingle has been one OF tn
most courageous, active, and liberia
Democrats in Ohio county. He con
tributed freely, both of his time, hi
labor and his money, for the advance
+ mept of the interests Of the party, an
sbrank from no duty imposed upo'
him in connection with political affairs
Moreover, he is an excellent bus
ness man, thoroughly qualitie
to discharge the duties
the sheriffalty, and his persona
| popularity is attested by his nomination
, yesterday. In view of the ability n
t has displayed for effective work in tn
past, there can scarcely be a doubt tbs
he will be triumphantly elected; Gel
] tsinly when two such untiring and II
= fluentisl gentlemen as he and MI
# CoSASr ioin- hands there H.. II bnothln
. no1ifSI fffSseeaa0E :4faSqn nss'SS"iis wei
known to our citizens. He representa-
7 this county during two terms in tn
House of Delegates, and in his secon
, term, although one of the youpges
members, occupied the honorable plac
of Speaker of the House. He lisa goo
lawyer and endowed with indomitabl
energy and will very faithfully dis
charge the duties of the office for which
he has been nominated. 1t is prope
to add that Mr.. COOP, the present Pros
ecuting Attorney, has been a mos
3 able, Jealous, and worthy officer. H
has had no superiors in the place, ant
no shadow of discredit was attempted
to be cast upon him by the nomination
of Mr.. CRAcRAFr.
Mr.. WOODS, the candidate for Rec
order and Clerk of Courts has very &C
ceptably discharged the duties of tn,
place during the past six years. He i:
thoroughly competent and the county
could not well afford to dispense with
his services. At the same time, a very
well merited compliment was bestowed
upon a representative of what has beer
sometimes styled "the young Democ'
racy" of the county by the selection o
Mr.. DARRAH as a candidate for Clerk o
the Circuit Court.
The Legislative ticket will commend
itself to the party as we'll worthy o.
support. Doctor NJ. F. HULL1HEN il
well known as . young man of fine
natural abilities and splendid education
He is a thorough scholar, not only in
the field of his profession, but in othe,
departments Of learning, and, although
he has had no Legislative expert
euce, he will soon acquire sufi-
cient acquaintance with the routine o,
legislation to be very valuable and
efficient member. Mr.. DAVENPORT did
very good service in the late Constitul
tional Convention, and was instrumental
in the adoption of several ..importan
features Of the Constitution in which
our people are most directly in
terested. Mr.. MILLER was also
