That Endorsement.

ED. CHIEF:-I did not preserve the paper contain
ing the proceedings of the last Democratic County
Convention. l am under the impression that that
Convention endorsed Congress and endorsed
Hayes If did about the poorest service any one,
claiming to be Democrat. could do for the party,
would be to deny it, by puerile and evasive sub
terfuge. Democratic Conventions not nfallible,
and sometimes show want of political sagacity, by
placing the party in uncomfortable and dangerous
positions. But Democrats generally, are not sneaks
and will not deny their party record, seek, by pit
liable bubbles and special pleading to escape respon
sibty for their acts.
Whatever position future Conventions Of the party
may take this subject the fact that the last did
endorse Hayes, will be disputed, think, by none.
