THE TICKET.

In our local columns will DO found a
full report OF the Democratic Conven-
ton held in this place yesterday. We
have not the time to refer TO the e
eral candidates at length at this time,
but we must say that as a whole a
mare acceptable or stronger ticket was
never placed before the people by any
coun.y or convention in this portion of
the State. The candidates are
all representative men,. above
reproach. and each is we'll qualified
for the position to which he has been
nominated. In the main. the onven
ton did lis work we'll. and is deserving
of the grateful thanks of the Democracy
of Eureka county. OF course all aspi-
rants could not be nominated. and
some good men were naturally disap-
pointed, yet we are certain that the
ticket is as unexceptienable as could
have been selected. That the whole
ticket will be triumphantly elected
on the third day of November
next hardly admits Of a doubt. We
shall have occasion 20 refer to the Pc
culiar fitness of the respective canli-
dates in detail as the campaign pro-
