Tho " Democratic Conserv ativcs held
Tuesday last, which resulted in tho nomi-
nation of Col. Woolford, tho present Off.
Ger, for Comptroller of tho Treasury
Four candidates were placed in NOM
ination, Woolford, Miller of Cecil, Dent
and Rider. Woolford on the first ballot
received G5 votes, Miller 10, Dent 10, and
Rider 10. Five candidates were placed in
nomination for the Office of Clerk OF the
Court of Appeals, and after the first vote,
which resulted in no choice, two names
were dropped and the second ballot result
in the cheice of Mr.. Jas. S. Franklin, the
present Clerk. One of the delegates raised
his voice against this ti-Democratic pro-
ceeding so contrary to one Of the funda-
mental doctrines of that party, rotation in
Office, and denounced it as Casarism, but
the majority of the Convention did not
seem to fear Caesar dead, and went on to
re-nominate the present incumbents, re-
CARELESS of the warning.
The Resolutions were made up of a
string of plstitudes, fashionable on such
occasions. The ono on the free schools
deserves special notice, however, and is as
follows;
Resolred, That IS the power, prosperity
and perpetuity of the State must depend
upon the virtue and intelligence of it's peo-
pie, we pledge the party to liberal provi
sion for the extension and improvement of
the free school system, already SO auspi
ciously inaugurated by the Democratic
Conservative party in this State.
Free school system auspiciously inaugur-
ated by tho Democratic Conservative party
in this State 20 This is decidedly cool, in
view of the desperate efforts made by a
large minority of the legislature, composed
entirely Of that party to entirely wipe out
free schools, and also in the face of the
mess they made of the school law as it now
stands, which is condemned by all men Of
all parties who have ever give it an exami-
nation. We have yet to hear the first word
in its commentator from any one. The
school law which was superseded by the
present Democratic Conservative abor-
ton, was the work of Republican Legis-
lation and there is no question that it was
superior in every respect to the present
crude affair.

The Bridgeport Daily Leader, of August
14th, 1872, says: 1.-The business of the
Howe Machine Company of this city may
be conceived from the fact that they have
manufactured during the seven months of
this year, ending August LIST, $4,000 Sew
ing Machines. They manufactured in the
twenty-five working days Of July, 1850

"FAT OFFICES"

An unsophisticated writer over the sig
nature of OK" in The Democrat is sur
prised, or diverted as he puts it, at The
Whig's illusions some times to the fat
Offices in Cecil county. OK" runs over
tho list and is evidently familiar with the
names, and with the very modest emolu-
ment which seemingly attaches to them.
He is only acquainted with the outside of
affairs. Cinderella, to all appearance, was
very humble country girl till the old
Fairy touched her, and she quickly was
transformed into a real princess. Now the
Elkton "ring- masters understand the
lamentations which turn these Offices into
gold mines, as truly as the old Fairy could
work her charms. They have lived off of
them and out of them for years, and driven
as grand turnouts and sported as rich robes
and Jewels as Cinderella did at the touch
of the Fairy's wand. II this is not so
why should the "ring strive SO hard to
keep the county offices in their control !?
Take a single item from the late levy list,
at random, we hadn't time to cite more:
The Sheriff has 1886 set down to his
credit, as pickipgs for single year. The
list can be extended by any one who will
take the time to examine the matter. The
perquisites which are incidental to the
ofices-who can fathom their amounts
"X" only sees, as we have said, the out
side, and forms his opinion. If he under
stood the mysteries of the "ring," what he
reads on the subject-would not be {" di-
verting." And these are reasons why the
old ring rats ought to be smoked out.

Our neighbor, The Democrat, is pes
tered to death by anonymous scribblers,
and its Editor has put up a notice at the
head that anonymous communications will
not be noticed, but this notice is not needed,
and the writers keep sending in their name
less effusion, and the Editor declares almost
weekly that he will not notice them. TIe
forgets that the very declaration is suffi-
cient notice for these "ink singers" That
is "the way how not to do it." Now this
is the way to do it: Just put their COM
munications in the waste basket without a
word, and you will be astonishod how soon
they will snuff out.

THE TURKEY AND HIS MERITS.

Knowing the modest merits of the Tar
key" and notwithstanding the amount of
service he had done the "ring- masters " in
times past-times when the sight of Uncle
Sans bayonets felt like iron in their souls
and perceiving that that delicious but some
what noisy bird was likely to be overlook ed
by the masters, we ventured to call their at
tention to the Turkeys" peculiar fitness
for the office of rogue-catcher, whereupon
that fowl spreads his tail, and with tre-
mendous thug describes a circle on one
wing.
We understand that this righteous indig-
nation is all put on for effect, and we, as
one Of tho people, insist that the Tur-
keys" claims on the party be considered
by the nominating convention next week.
These claims are various: First, the Tur-
key family is long legged and noted for
running we'll among brush, and would be
found very useful in the North East bar
rens, whore the party is greatly in need of
lily is loud voiced race of birds, and " the
Turkey of the town. has rendered much
service by publishing in the Fourth" the
result of elections successful to the ring"
early in the morning after the election, by
the ancient herald mode of loud halloos on
the highway: Third, our Turkey" being
an educated bird can tell a good yarn about
election times. 1t doesn't matter about its
being true. For instance that about the
wealthy old gentleman of London should
have been credited to old Hickory of Ten
nessee. And last, but not least, an old
gobbler is more valuable than an old horse
if we'll fed about Thanksgiving time he is in
great demand. AS it is near thanksgiving
when the election takes place, and Tur-
ksy' being the democratic Conserva-
tive" candidate should fail "to fly, or
climb, or hobble, on the very topmost rail ="
of the Jail wall, which is pretty high, he
would make a Thanksgiving dinner for the
successful thief-catcher. So here's three
gobbles for the " Turkey" as candidate
for next sheriff.

In contemplating the whole scheme to
degrade this proud and chivaliric State,
we cannot fail to discover in the malig-

evidence Of the decay Of public virtue;
and the facility with which il is now be-
lug carried into complete execution at
tests the reason of the alarm felt by better
men, not only for the principles Of Re
publicanism, but for the name Of Re

II is time that we should awake from
that dream Of delusion, in whose chains
we have so long been bound, that there
is complete safety in public virtue
and public intelligence. They fail daily
when brought into contact with the gilt.

patronage of government. Virtue falls
before the temptations that are presented
to 1t, and intelligence, thus deprived Of
its most encouraging hopes, serves only
to point out new objects Of unlawful

THE REPRESENTATIVES, CAN.
VASS

Preceding the announcement Of the
candidates for the Senate on last Mon
day, the candidates for the House Of
Representatives addressed the people Of
the county. Mr.. +. +. Bobbitt, in a
short speech, made known his purpose to
solicit from the citizens Of Lincoln his
election to that body. Mr.. W. o. Hans
ford, in response TO previously pub
lishcd call in this paper, announced his
candidacy for the same position. Al
though other calls have been made, no
other response was given, and at present
the field is clear to these two aspirants ;
nor have we any information at this time
that any other gentleman designs TO enter
the ring as competitor.
As a Democratic journal, il is not
proper that we should assume the atti.
tude Of a partisan in the contest as II
now stands. In reference to Mr.. Bob
bitt we can say, that he has lived many
years in Lincoln county, and is identi
fed with her interests. He is generally
known by reason of frequent public
speeches.
Mr.. Hansford represented this count,
in previous session of the Legislature
and is, therefore, no novice In the bust
ness he proposes to undertake. Being I
good talker, both in public and private
an honorable, well-balanccd man, h
would prove, if elected, no unworth!
representative.
