The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1873-08-28
i LiRGE CONVENTION ASB sxaLL
RESULTS:

Upon each recurring year it Is our
duty 10 record the action Of the Coun-
ty Democratic Convention in pre-
senting to its ''sovereigns" a county
ticket. Usually IL Is pleasant thing
to do, but this year the duty is a sad
one, and almost overpowers our too
acute sensibilities. We have no ex-
cuse for this feeling-In fact rather
pride ourselves upon it. It shows that
we do not love strife, that the sIaugh-
ter Of anxious Democratic, patriotic
men, who desire % serve the people,
who are ready to fight 70 be their
servants at a liberal salary per year
is distastefuI to us. Thus explaining
our motives and feelings, we now en-
ter upon the details OF the COnxen-
ton, promising that We shall give
much truth that will not appear in
the report Of the regularly appointed
Seeretaries as, it is not proper for them
TO enter into details Of the feelings Of
the defeated candidates, and how
their defeat was accomplished. 4 /
The Convention met on Saturday
last at the usual hour, and showed
q good attendance. This was brought
about by the active exertiOns of the
numerous candidates, who had har-
rassed the innocent Democrats in the
country up to the idea that upon their
individual nomination rested the
welfare ofthe country. Thus TO serve
the country, they all turned out.
The Convention was called to order
by the Chairman OF the Central Com
mittee, and Hon. DIR. J. D.
O'Connor, Con. Con, was made
temporary chairman, and J.. NJ.
Myers-as usual and John He'll
man, were made Secretaries. The
Doctor, on taking the chair, made
q speech, the nature OF which we did
not learn. We presume 1t extOlled
the Democratic party, and showed
what 3 huge victory was in store for
the Democracy with stentoriaD, fOs-
siIized Alien as its standard bearer.
We understand that he announced
that Of the taxes levied in this State,
per cent. was stolen.
We viii not dispute that statement,
for is not the Doctor a Con. Con.
member, and should he not knOw2
We don't believe 1t. .F..,, ..,.
The usual committees we're
appointed and the Convention ad-
jonrned for dinner, drinks, com.
mittee work, and that candidates
might press their claims, which they
were disposed TO do, in season and out
Of season. fts 30 = 49, .aff si4 l.

Several resolutions were presented
the Democratic State ptat-
Iorm, and detailing, as is the custom,
.he horrors of a government in the
hands of the Republican party. One
1f the resolutions-the 81 or 4th, was
very affecting, and intended TO Affect
he interests Ofone man. 1t pledged
.he conyentionte support unanimous
Y tha. candidate Tor Senator nomin-
tied at Upper Sandusky, etc-that
was the Hon. john SeitZ.
t was very modest of John, as the !,
bore his ear marks. 1t was !
evident, rs delegate who does not
owe the hOnOred gentleman said, That
Afr. Eeilz had incuhatcd upon tile ides.
If that resolution ever since the SEN
ltOrial Convention, and that he
satched what was presented. The {
of the Senator was still more
illustrated by his standing
- in the Court House desk, as Vice
