The Radical Nominations.

we publish elsewhere the nomina-
tions made by the recent County
Convention of Fairfield. It is need
less for us to give any account of the
circumstances attending tho making
of these nominations. 1t is enough
to say that there was such universal
disgust over the first ticket, that it
w"s found necessary to begin dc
"or", and put out new ticket entire
ly. But where is the improvement e?
Inc ticket as whole is no particle
better. And it is without doubt the
worst one ever yet put out in Fair
field. Mcssrs. Marshall and Neil
have withdrawn, and there is but one
name upon it That is not utterly un-
worthy-that of John Gibson.
Daniel Bird has long been
q politician md an oflicc-seekcr.
We arc credibly informed that no can
barely write n little, his knowledge
being limited to simple reading.
Prince Martin is equally ignorant
and incompalably more corrupt.
John Gibson has been in the House
for two years, and his course there
wns rather conservative than other
wise. We consider him by far the
best man Of the avowcd Republicans
on the ticket. I. B. Smith is n
mulatto calpct-baggcr from Rhode
Island. lie is sid hy those who
know him to bo much more gifte.l
with shrewdness than with principle.
EIe il unworthy to fill the Office for
which he nominated. The county
board is really u delightful one
Carter Beatty is at present in office,
nd is now under indictment fo,
official misconduct. He is utterly
incompetent. John Wilson-com-
monty known as No-Noso Wilson
8 already well known, utterly un-
worthy to hold any Office in the gift
Of the people. jim June isignorant
ilsslpatcI and wholly unqualified.
John Russell is absurdly unfit for the
'osponsiblc and arduous position OF
school commissioners He has neith
u intelligence nor education, and he
would be the mcrcst cipher possibl,
IL SO important an office. The
nominee for coroner is m ignorant
negro, totally incapable of perform.
ns the duties npportaining to the
flee
Such is a ticket put forward b,
IN organization claiming to form q
part of the great Republican part,
of the United States! AMI such is
he ticket to which every man il
;hc Republican party is expected t.
'sive his a,ppolt! Citizens of Fair
:icla! There is now before vou !;
solemn AMI imperative duty--;t is t.,
tight this ubominab,e ticket con
stant'y, vigorously, till at last it
finds utter nnnihiation on tic
seventh day of November. TO say
nothing of the rest of the ticket, the
election OF Beatty, Wilson and June
IS county commissioners would be
n itself II disaster more terrible and
mere sweeping than any that has
vet he'"llcn tho people Of Fairfield.
The whole crew must be fought to
the bitter end. There is now no
time for either dallymg, or conccs-
sion to anybody's peculiar views.
The line liz drawn. There is no mid
! lie ground. Those who are not fol
IL are against us. The ticket is the
w"'k of Il ring having for it's centre,
if we arc correctly informed, DR.. W.
b. Peako and his son-in-law, U. A.
Smith. 1t is the fruit of IL conspira-
ry against I'll the rights, all the in
tcrcsts OF the honest people of the
county. 1t must be defeated.
Should it by any chance succeed, we
shuadcr ut the bare thought of the
consequences that must come upon
Fairfield county.
The Deputy Marehals.
