TIE Convention last Saturday to con-
slider the propriety of changing our mode
of nominating county ticket, composed
Of Democrats and Liberals was well at
tended by representative men from all
parts of the county. The proceedings
will be found in this paper, and it will be
seen that it was decided to nominate this
year at least by delegate convention.
The delegates will be chosen by the friends
in each election precinct on the third Sat-
urday in July and the convention will
meet the Tuesday following. The express
sion in the convention showed that the
sentiment fsvoring the change was nearly
unanimous. Some of our friends were
quite urgent for change, claiming that
the popular vote plan was liable to great
abuse, and referred to the present corrup-
ting struggle going on among the Grant
radicals of Stark county. From all We
can learn it is disgusting, not to say hum
jliating in the extreme, to see bankers,
oil men, local preachers, &C., &C., bum
ming over the county craving and boun-
cling men for their support, in fact proba-
bly, spending thousands of dollars in their
j scheming. We do say such practices are
enough to disgust good citizens. The
public feeling at present is not partial to
Credit Mobilier performances; and under
these circumstances it is no wonder that
the radical leaders have brought the pop
ular vote plan of nominating into such
disgrace that our friends have concluded
to change for time. Indeed, these Grant
leaders are.rapidly bringing our admirable
system of government itsslfinto contempt.
Corruption is the rule, integrity the ex-
ceptien-Reform is our watchword, econ
omy the aim, justice the rule. The good
work must commence at home and cannot
begin too soon. There are but two par-
ties, the Administration party, the mem
bers of which sastain it by word and vote
and those opposed to@ths Grant Credit
Mobllier rule. tbs snly way to express
hOstihty TO the radical party is to vote,
against them. Let those opposed to the

On the principle that the king can do
