Editors OF the Register.
Being at leisure it occurred to me that
I could not move proftably or pleasant
ly. devote few hecting moments than
in penning few lines for your valuable
paper, touching matters and things IN
general in this locality.
OUR STATE TICKET
is in every sense, an exceptionally good
one, and meets the unqualified approval
of the entire Democracy of this section,
extorting expressions Of commentator
even from our enemies. SO judiclously
and eeuitably were the nominations
made with regard not only to the just
claims of the different sections of our
State. but also with reference to the
higher consideration of the merits as
honest, capable and worthy representa-
tives of the great party, which, for the
time being, has made them the opponents
of its time-honored principles, and stand.
ard bearers TO victory IN the approach
ing struggle between proscriptionists,,
corporations, rings, and the advocates OF
Bayonet Rule on the one side, and the
advocates of an untrameled Bal
lot, an economical administration Of
the Government, State and Ma
tional by virtuous magistrates IN
the interests OF labor and the manafac-
turing and productive industries OF the
land on the other, that all shades OF opln-
ion are harmonized, every sentiment OF
disaffectlon eliminated, and all are stand
ing shoulder to shoulder, with locked
hands and locked hearts, ready to DO
battle for the emancipation of tax-rid-
den, down-trodden and deeply injured
people in State and Nation.
The news of the nomination OF
HAYES AND WHEELER
has occasloned scarcely u ripple on the
political wave in this section. While
the Democracy is hopeful and buoyant,
the Republicans, disappointed Of their
choice, appear laughably grotesque at
times, IN their awkward attempts to con-
cesl their cnagriD. They know that his
nomination was trick of political leger-
demain, and therefore an involuntary
confession of the weakness of their party,
and their dread of Democratic success
in the coming Presidential canvass. 1t
mu.t indeed be humiliating reflection
to the Republican party, more particular
ly to Hayes himself, If not destitute OF
sensibility. After wielv ing with absolute
sway the destinies of this great nation
for fifteen wears, their hards strength
ened by every material auxiliary OF ma
tional greatness, but wanting the pres
tige of great names, that owing TO the
weakness, corruption, prohigacy, down
right ignorance, and wanton negligence
of corrupt and selfish rulers, they were
compelled at their National Convention
t. stultify themselves by taking mere
curb-stone politician Ms Their national
stan dard- bearer. Let but the Democrats
at st. Louis do their duty by nominating
men known to fame and of broad, national
views, and there needs no prophet TO
predict the event.

The Convention will be held in the in
terest of no clique, for now there ARE no
cliques in the party, all being animated
by one feeling, one desire, one aspiration;
that of selecting and electing those only
who are honest and capable.
For Prosecuting Attorney, there
will probably be three or four candidate.
