Republican County Convention.

As will he seen 10y notice published
at the head of these columns, Il County
Convention is called for next week ON
Thursday. at this place. 1t will de
volve upon the convention to put in
nomination two state senators, two AS
sistaut Judges, Il states attorney, Judge
of probate. high sheriff and high bailitf.
Also to name county and town COM
mittees.
This is a good year, and this good
place, to break away from old and bad
habits, and put in nomination men who
will fill the various offices with ability
and fidelity. 1t is bad time To turn a
man out of Office simply because some
one else wants his place. 1t is bad
year to nominate incompetent men. or
those in whom the public have lost con-
fdeuce. 1t will be especially unfortu-
nate to set up any one for states at

The more it is thought of, the more
the Republican party will feel grateful
that it is no worse. In fact the ticket
is IA good one /; and after the little dis

Rutherford b. Hayes is man of

The number of individuals whose names
have been "mentioned" in connection with
the next presidency is well nigh countless,
but the probabilities are confined 10 less
than dozen men, for the most part already
we'll known in the political field. Among
those whose chances at the present time
appear respectable may be mentioned, on
the one side, Blaine, Bristow, Conkling,
Washburne and Grant; on the other side,
Tilden, Hendricks and Bsyard and on Ael-
Their side, perhaps, Charles Francis Adams.
In spite of the declarations of party con-
vontions, the resolutions OF the House OF
Representatives, and propositions to amend
the possibility Of a third term out of the
Constitution, the agitation of the Presi-
dents chances for a denomination is not
wholly sllenced. No doubt many of the
Republican delegates from the Southern
States will support his claims in the con-
Vention, but the Northern delegates will
