REPUBLICAN, COUNTY TICKET.
The Coming Canvass.

sUC OOtlltUy OduNdSSs
Both political parties in this State |
have been very quiet, since their nom
nations were made, but with the COM
ing week the Republicans propose to
open the canvass in this county, as
they have already in other counties of
the State. 1t is not supposed that the
exertions will equal those of last year,
or that an exciting canvass will be
had, so far as outward demonstration
is concerned. The danger lies in the
opposite direction-in too much apa-
thy. 1T is Of the first Importance that
the people should at least be aroused
to the general Importance Of electing
the ticket by good majority. Judge
Sterrett commends himself to all. 1t
is almost unfortunate that an exception
should not have been made in his case,
and the position of Supreme Judge
conferred upon him by the united vote
of both parties. lie repl leseGts. in his
person, judicial purity, and we are
confident he will receive very many
Democratic votes. There was never
case where there was more clearly a
question of high moral principles in
volved than in the case of Judge Ster.
rett. He is so perfectly suited to the
position for which he is nominated,
that there can be no doubt Of the pro-
prety Of his election, as there is no
doubt that he will be elected. The
case Of Mr.. Hart is equally clear. He
is not only trained in the duties of his
office, but his record as man is en-
tirely unassailablc. 1t is not pretend
ed that morally and mentally he is in
any way untitled for the office. He
was a soldier promoted from the ranks
to captaincy, and is a self made,
honest, capable man. He has had ex-
perience in the office, has been trusted
for years in the responsible position of
cashier, and is throughly conversant
with his duties. The Democratic can
date, Mr.. Noyes, is troubled with
bad record, particularly for these
times. His affiliations have been Of
the monopoly order, and he was en-
broiled in the schemes to get money
or securities out Of the State sinking
fund, to build wild cat railroads. This
is SO clear that no attempt at denial
will be made. The working people,
who do not wish such material to con-
troll the finances of the State, will do
wisely TO mark this gentleman, and
make his defeat certain by voting for
Mr.. Hart AS between Mr.. Passmore
and Mr.. Schell there is this to he
said The former has been a hard
working man, not known heretofore in
politics, honest, energetic and worthy.
The latter has been in politics under
very dsreputable circumstances, and
and his record is anything but good.
The colored people have examined
the records Of beth the Democratic
candidates, aud have determined, be-
cause of the hostility they have shown
the colored race, to vote in a body
against them.
la looking carefully over the situa-
tion, we feel confident that the State
will DO carried for the Republican
ticket, and that the majority will de-
pend on the extent to which our peo-
pie ire aroused. If the vote is in any
degree full, the majority will be an
excellent one. If the vote is small.
,lle majority will be correspondingIy
ed. We warn our people to be
