EDITOR JOURNAL THE nomination Of Hon
AN. Pratt, OF williams county, meets with
general approval in this locality, aud he will
carry the full Republican vote. And now that
all differences have been settled, that seemed
/" threaten the defeat Of the nominee Of that
Convention, we hope thst every Republican
will lay of bis coat and roll up his sleeves and
gn tn work and roll up a m ,jbrity for Pratt hat
iilteach the Democracy that the Sixth Dis
trict does not mean TO be represented BY such
EeH as Frank Hurd. The nomination sr Iurd
is "wet blanket" on the Dem ,cracy up
here, mIny Of them declaring that they will
not support him. We look upun the nnInins ton
OF Hurd as the weakest that couid have been
made. Hal they nominated Scribner, or even
j. NJ. Ashley, they would have added some
strength to their ticket; but as il 10, they will,
as usual, receive a terrible defeat.

county. The great increase in the Premiums
awarded this year, will tend u make the dis
play in the various departments superior n
snytbing heretofore. Let every person select
some worthy article and have IL ON hand the
first day Of tho Fair.
