THE COUNTY POT AGAIN

The.Pot is boiling. The Ring Hay
. Twsters are busy twisting on the sly
and chucking the hay under the Pot.
We hear that there is some difficulty
in making up the Slate. Elder Bear
seems to he their favorite candidate for
Auditor, but Jimmy walker is in the
way. and. at last accounts, they had
concluded to put Bear on for Treasurer.
y. NJ. Crosby, of Adrian, appears to be
their choice for Commissioner. j. n.
Town. of course: is their candidate for
Sheriff, as he does the bulk of the twist
ing himself l.. L. Kimball, it is said,
is their candidate for Register of Deeds,
but they have do.lbts us to whether
Chadwick can be run off the track.
Among candidates we hear spoken
Of among the people for Superintendent
of Schools are Rev. J. e. Ogle, the pres
tnt incumbent; Prof. w. NJ. Martin
and Ira X. Cole, Ill good and compe-
tu.it men for that office.
Whatever ticket may be nominated
by the Convention of Oct. 8, the people
my depend upon one thing, viz: that
The good, old Worthington stand-bys
will have to be taken care Of and that
he best offices will fall to the same old
Ring which las II death grip Oh the
public ud'lpr and any one OF whom
would sacrifice himself for his country
}trlttually. J. y. Town is ready to
bleed and die from year to year and
term to term, strinying out Il lingering
death, and hanging OH for third term
/, the public teat like Il bulldog to a
bologna sausage. And there is our
friend Elder Bear, u minister of the
Gospel, a servant Of the Lord, who has
renowned the world the tlesl, and the
devil, dcspises the beggerly elements of
this world and is on his way to glory,
even the Eide: is willing to make the
sacrifice and serve his country again as
Auditor.
Some of Mr.. Durfee's friends wanted
him to be Il candidate for Sheriff, but
we learn that j. Il. Town declined to
let linn run. Mr.. d. wasn't considered
,talwart" enough in lis party fealty.
The financial stability Of the country
depended upon the Sheriff of Mobiles
county holding sound views on the cur
rency question. Mr.. Durfep, moreover.
hid boIted. So had Town and the rest
TT them two years ago, Sut to mention
that would be running the thing into
politics md that would never do. 1t is
apurr question Of patriotism when a
EIan wants to bc Sheriff for Il third
term.
Tie campaign will be brief. The
Convention was called late to prevent
whatever opposition there might lie
from developing much of fight and al
50 to save livery hire. There will be
! SIS than Il month in which to save the
country. In that brief fortnight and a
half the question will be decided wlleth
cr the American Kite shall go down il.
Cimmerian darkness or whether it shall
soar aloft again with il tail made I'D OF
Vo thington patriots.

THE LIBERAL ONVE.NTION.

- =. TILE LIBERAL CONVENTION.
The Chicago Tribune, the St. Paul
Fioneer-Press which echoes the Fri:
bune, and some other papers, endeavor
to throw contempt upon the recent Lib
eral Convention at Cincinnati, by dwell
ling upon the fact that the Socialists
captured the Convention and got some
of their peculiar planks into the plat
form.
But admitting this, if these journals
were disposed to be at all fair, II they
were not more bent upon throWi'l@ 4
sop to the Church Cerberus than upon
promoting legitimate reforms, they
would see much to commend in the OBJ
ject and work of the Convention. The
attempt to cry it down by calling it Il
Free Love, an Atheistic or Communis-
tic gathering, is arrant demagogism,
(spelled as the Tribune spells it.) H.
gersoll. the leading spirit of the Con-
vention, declared that 1.-THE family is
the unit of good government" and his
beautiful family life is the envy Of eve
ny bigot even who has ever llada glimpse
of it. Neither is he an Atheist, al
though he rejects superstition, any
more than Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin
Franklin and Thomas Paine were A.
theists. lie is just the type of man Of
that great political trinity to whom we
owe our free government more than to
any other three men that ever lived.
The Liberal Convention was called to
protest against certain sharplydetined
wrongs and to demand certain legiti-
mate reforms. The emancipation Of
woman, the taxing of church property,
the secul,rization Of government and
the public schools, the freedom Of the
press and Of the mails, and the arrest
Of class legislation were among the Oh
jects sought to be furthered by this
convention. If this he Free Loveism
and Atheism, make the most Of it.
For the Liberals will 60 OH demanding
and reforming until these reforms are
secured.

TINT a good many Of the Worthington
