ED. RECORD We have occasionally
heard some little talk of county con-
vention to nominate county officers. There
seems to be slight under current, or
some weak politicians, who wish to bring
about the event, that they may possibly be
lifted into office in that way, without 60
ing before the people and risking them
selves in fair election. We don't think
there is any necessity for such a step, nor
do we think the people will submit to it.
Conventions are an evil that have to be
submitted to, in order to. insure party
success, but it is in no way to be endured
in our county affairs. If such a conven-
ton is held, it will cause the people to
take a stand against the nominees OF that
convention and be sure to defeat them
It has not been many years since prl-
mary election was forced upon the people people
against their will, and the judges allowed
radicals to vote in the election. In that

The Judicial Question.

The question of who shall be elected
Judge of this judicial district is a
question of business rather than poll
ties. The practical question for every
voter to consider is, which of the two
candidates for Judge, Hon. VIM. ID.
Brown, or Hon. Rasselas Brown, will
conduct the business of our courts to
the best interests of the suitor, the
taxpayer and the general public? 1t
may be taken for granted that the
character, ability, and legal attain
ments of these two gentlemen are
equal. Certainly no one will claim
that VIM. ID. Brown in any of these
respects is less qualified than his OPP
ponent, but there are strong reasons
why he should be elected at the age of
fifty-seven. Hon. VIM. d. Brown is
just in the prime of a ripened intellect,
with strong body, a vigorous mind
and good voice he can perform the
duties of Judge to the satis(oc.
ton of the entire public.
Should Hon. Rasselas Brown be
elected he will enter upon the duties
of his office at the age of nearly
seventy, and close his term of office
at nearly the advanced age of eighty
gears. 1t is a serious question whether
the Judgeship should be entrusted tC
so old a gentleman. If at any time lie
should become unfit to perform the
duties of this Office he cannot easily be
got rid of. Let each voter remember
that ian ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure and vote for Hon.
VIM. D. Brown without regard tC

Charge Along the Whole Line.

Unerringly the index finger of pub
lie sentiment, as shown by the cleo
tions held in the states of Ohio and
Indiana, points to the election of
James A. Garfield as the next Presi-
dent of the United States. Broken
and scattered the forces of the enemy
are flying in every direction, while
the victorious hosts of the Republi.
cans, flushed with victory are pursu-
ing them still further into the land of
sorrow and dispair. The leaders of their
forces are discouraged, and their fol-
lowers gone. The sober second
thought, the awakening common
sense, the sturdy patriotism of the
people are the elements that are in
creasing the high tide of Republican
success. The great public heart al
ways beats right, no matter what the
politicians may do. The people be-
lieve in free country under the glori-
Gus stars and stripes Alarmed at the
symptom of danger which seems tC
threaten the welfare of our common
country, the people with sturdy
might place their strength with the
party that upholds the flag as against
the party that may seem to waver in
the faith. The solid south cry of the
Democratic party rings like a death
knell in the ears of the aroused yeo,
mandry of this broad land, as with
united effort they repudiate the idea
and determine to oppose with solid
North this unhallowed wrong of q
solid South. The principles of Lee
and Jackson are not considered the
safe ones, as gigantic war has dem
onstrated they were wrong, and as 1
consequence verdict sealed by the
silent ballot, more potent than the
leaden ball, is recorded with no un
certain meaning against these princi
piles and against the men who uphold
them. November election day will
come and once again the men of tn,
North, shoulder to shoulder, as they
once stood before the battle lines of tht
rebel hosts, will with Il common pur
pose set the seal of condemnation OF
the farce and heresy of solid South
BY these elections and by the election
held in the opening of the montf
November, the rights of white ant
black, North and South is guarantee,
above the remotest suspicion of doubt
In the sentiment then, if not the exac
words of the illustrious Xacharial
Chandler the mission of the Republi
can party is not ended until any mal
black or white throughout this broa'
land can go to the farthest point of til
sunny South or to the remotes
place of the frigid North, an,
make the hlackest kind of Re
publican spe eches when and where h
pleases. Then, steady, along tn
whole line, the fight of the Republica
party is the fight for the rights of tn
people and will succeed. In the crown
ing of the victors, after the hattle, i
forgotten the CRIME and smoke tina
made the crowning possible. Stead.
then. men, cast your ballot for Gal
field and Arthur. They will b
elected.
