The Democratic County Convention
yesterday nominated o ticket with which
the Republicans can freelyconsole them
selves. 1t was Convention of Bour-
bons, that is, Convention of people,
who have neither learned nor forgotten
anything. The Democrats had an oppor-
tunity OF taking advantage OF the sight
Mistakes of the Republican Convention
by putting up good ticket. They nave
not done SO, but through their total
ignorance nominated ticket which will
not inspire the coniding German Demo-
Gratis.
The German element has been igno-
rniniously ignored. Mr., John Sohitf, who
appeared before the Convention as q
prominent German Democrat, being
butehered in an insulting manner, ana
on the whole lengthy ticket but two or
three German names are found. As said
to US, it Is satisfactory.

The Democratic Convention, which
took place yesterday, was one OF the
largest county conventions which even
the oldest Democrats have ever Wit
messed, and, as some Of them say, 1T was
also che most noisy.
OF the resolutions, that againssf all
"sumptuary laws" &C., is the one which
pleases us the most. This resolution is
so clear and plain that every lover OF
personal freed oin can be satisfied with
1t.
1t does great honor to the convention
that they began with the nomination OF
candidates to the Legislature. But
whe ther they have been successful and
have nominated good ticket tor the
Legislature, we refrain from sayingr but
do not hesitate 10 say that several OF the
nominations are excellent. The ticket
lor the Senate is unobjectionab1e, and
we could not have desired a better.
Mr.. Stahl is one Of our best German
citizens. Outside of Mr.. Stahi, the Ger
mans kneli and Groene are also on the
ticket.
The Liberals can not complain, as i'm.
mediately at the first ballot for tue
House three Liberal Republicans were
nomi hated, viz: Moses +. Wilson, James
Maloney and John j. GeGban, autnor Of
the weli-knOWn sGeghan Bill" 4 Wilson
is strong candidate, as also Messrs.
Kneil, Armstrong, Huston and Garrison.
On the County ticket the Germans have
only received the office OF County ln-
frmAry Director; the nominated candi-
| date, MIR. Keiierman, is, by good au-
ChOrity, described as an excellent man.
The nomination OF Judge Matson for
Probate Judge is exceedingly good.
Judge Matson has, during the term OF
mis- administration, made very great
number OF friends, especially among the
Germans, ana he has shown that he pos
sesses every ability Which is necessary
TO that position. ,
From the voiksblatt.l
For Probate Judge, as was expected,
Judge Matson received the nomination
| by acclamation. Judge Matson is at
present occupying the above office, aud
| is without doubt a strong candidate.
Mr.. Noble had, as we predicted, the
be pulled out OF the saddle. He is an old
| Democratic politician, but, in regard TO
the office, he has not t4e chance thai
| humphreys has.
The nomination for County Commits.
sioner is pretty good. ltlell to MI. Hop
per, who resides in the Eastern part oi
She county, and Is said&o be Il good MAN.
| The nomination OF Mr. ketlefmsn as
| Director vi the Iniirmary, appears TO US
| 20 be not especially appropriate.
The contest tor the better positions,
viz, that OF Treasurer, resulted in a vic.
| tory foT Mr. Stephens, who, last pfing,
| distinguished himself by bis renowned
letter, in which he claimed the German
| vote, on the ground tAat for ten f0hg
| years he kept u saloon.
In relation to the, Legislature, the
ticket iof Senators rs very good, bIS tHal
| for Representatives very peUr. There
| are some good names upon III, but the
| greater part is composed 6f weak ma
4 terial.
