The selection of the committee evinces
judgment and thought and discretion. A
better committee could not have been
chosen after months of reflection 1t rep
resents the solid classes of the country dis
trictS and the wards of the city, IL an who
are neither too rich nor too poor to feel a
keen interest in the public affairs of the
country, for they have acquired what they
possess by steady industry. They are tax
payers and fully identified with the mate |
rial prosperity Of the community. They |
are worthy to stand upon such an admir- |
able platform as adopted at Bartlett, and to |
carry out the intent and spirit of the resO-
lutiOns so happily conceived and put forth |
at the meeting. The Chairman, in desig- |
mating the 9th of April as the day to |
meet and organize, gives the people and |
the press ample time for discussion. |
There will still be four months interven-
ing before the August election. The |
last county canvass was too long and |
fatiguing, but We presume, from the steps
already taken, that the active canvass will |
not open till about the first of June. Two /
months for organization, and two months |
Of a canvass, which must be exciting and /
personal in its features, will be long /
enough for the sultry days Of summer. The |
thus far has been most auspi- /
cious, and bids fair to represent the voice
Of the people and to promote their interests
in securing the best men for office and dis
public trusts fairly among the
various national, social and political ele-
nents that constitute the great conserva-
i've body Of our population. So long Is
he declared objects of this county move
nent are kept in view it viii command re-
,pect at home and abroad, and have the
and support of the press TO an
aXtent seldom heretofore accorded.
