The County Convention.

The Oliver Springs County convention de-
cided, as was anticipated before it met, tc
make no nominations for county officials
Indirectly all the counties but two were rep.
resented, and these, too, are in opposition tc
nominations. Everybody knows that we ART
conventionist, believing that it Is the only
safe and certain way ofelecting the best men
We acquiescc, however in the action of the
convention. and sincerely hope that the re-
suit will meet the highest expectations of the
most sanguinc anti-conventionists.
The most absurd thing of the convention
was the apportionment of the vote of the
county. To Van Buren,, which polls over zoo
votes, it gave six votes; and Upper township
which has less than one hundred, four votes
In other words, this township, that polls near
ly half the votes in the county has six votes
in the convention, while the other township.
have 40 votes.
The proceedings of the convention We pub
lish in another column.

at the convention, Saturday, to canvass

every township represented, and found
but one, Alma, that was for Witch. All
the other ten present, were for Armstead

is against Witch. Without any exagger

Very HIgnIncnnt

The Democratic platform is be-
ing changed to suit every locality.
1t is one thing in the North, another
in the South. In the Rome Daily
News, Rome, Georgia, and the
weekly Courier of the same place,
the following is the version given
of one of the Democratic blanks /:
"Reform is necessary to rebuild
and establish in the hearts of the
whole people the Union, eleven
years ago happily rescued from the
danger of corrupt centralism
which, after iDfiicting upon ten
states the rapacity of carpet-bag
tyrannies, has honey combed the
Offices of the Federal Government
itself with incapacity, waste, and
fraud ; infected States and munich
palities with the contagion of mis-
rule, and locked fast the prosperity
of an industrious people in the par
aIysis of hard times"
The original text, as published in
Northern papers, is as follows:
"Reform is necessary to rebuild
anu estaDllsn In the hearts OF the
whole people the Union, eleven
years ago happily rescued from the
danger of secession of States,, sc.
The charge is slight one, to be
sure. but very important one. The
Northern version is to lead the
friends of the Union to believe that
Democracy is in favor of Union
and opposed to secession. The
Southern version is to impress up
on the Southern mind that Democ-
racy is friendly to the lost cause,
and openly in favor of the princi-
Piles of secession. Like the man
who stands as the Presidential can
didate on this platform, Democra-
cy has two faces, neither of which
has an honest expression.
