Correspondence Argus.
The democratic county convention met
at Cambridge, Tuesday. and was largely
attended, the fullest in years. There was
great harmony and determination to
have straight fght-on straight demo
cratic principles The greeubackers were
there and tried to get an Endorsement of
their ticket, but proposition to this effect
was emphatically voted down.
The convention expressed its choice for
DR.. Todd as representative and Charles
Durham for congress, but the delegates
we're left untrammelled.
learn this morning that Ii. NJ, Ford, of
Gslva, was nominated for state senator by
the republican convention; he is very un-
popular in this county, and if the demo-
Gratis place first class man in the field he
can be elected. There are scores of re-
publicans in this county who will not vote
! for Ford-and number will openly work
against him. Gest's friends certainly
have reason to feel aggrieved at the course
of the convention.
| The democrats were never more deter
mined than now and will poll the largest
vote ever cast BIZ them in this county. Al
that is needed is hard work. and success i:
ours. The democrats are tired of playing
string to the kite and this time propose Il
make it red hot for opponents.
The weather has been intensely warn
here as elsewhere, and work in the field
progresses slowly.
There is very little of note outside thu
usual routine, except few happenings Q
