The County Convention,

The County Convention meets on
Saturday to send delegates to Colum-
bia and to rcorganizc the party by tho
election of County Chairman. Most
OF the clubs, if not all, have elected
their delegates, and rs far as we can
learn there will be proper rcpresen-
tation of the party. The delegates
sent to Columbia will be required to
express the sentiment Of Fairfield "a
to june nominations, and, should the
majority Of the State Convention do
terminc to nominate ut that time, thcv
Will be called on to assist in making
the State ticket. 1t is therefore prop.
or that careful selections be made.
anu whether instructions are given or
not, the sentiment Of the county
should be fully understood, SO that the
delegates may know It. We see no
reason why tho proceedings of tic
Convention shall not be perfectly har.
monious. So far as we know, nothing
exists to disturb the tranquility Of the
party. This is most gratifying con.
dition of affairs, and we hope it will
continue. The people Of Fairfield arc
simon pure in thcir Democracy and
eminently conservative IN their policy
and they believe that wisdom and
moderation should rule in State conn
ellis.

due to the unwrittcn but honoreu law
or making the term (, + Office dependent
on faithful service and efficiency, aud
nVt on sclt-sccking or personal popU~
larity, or ,clamor, by those seeking po-
slHon, for rotation in office, which
simply means a new doctor every two
years, to learns his trade at the public
expense,
so long as men know that at the end
OF short term they must make Il fresh
start in life, we cannot expect that
earnest and undivided attention ncccs-
sary to tho perfect official, and tho
ciap-trap cry Of rotation is, if SUCCESS
1ul, TO be the baiIe OF our State.
When we have trained men for our
officers, let us hold to them, at least,
until we can get better men, and not
recognize the claim that offices arc to
be given to the most clam0rous, even
II fit and nccdv-
But if the merits ofMominces outside
OF their official conduct arc TO be con-
siicrcd, Col. Sims will take Il stand
with the best. Selected by Long
trcct for his peculiar efficiency to oc-
cupy an important and confidential po-
sition on his staff, he came out OF the
Waf with a reputation of which any
man might bo justly proud.
Living in Dcnocractic county, he
was selected to the arduous and UNI
pleasant place Of one Off small mi
nority in our Senate, who fought war
OF constant defeat with dishonored
majority; and there, too, he did his
full duty.
In 1876 he was one Of the standard
bearers in what many thought was the
torlorn hope. Since then he has
served faithfully and efficiently as
Secretary Of State, and the State may
DC the loser should his place be filed
by any other.
Faithful, brave and efficient, both in
peace and war, the State has no better
pubiic servant, and tho delegates will
III serve their constituents if they lose
his scrvices.-Cotumbia Mercuyy.

THF CAPTURE by GRANTS FORCES or
the torty-two votes of Illinois is gen
orally conceded to settle the question
OF the Republican nomination in al
vance. 1t is very reasonably urged
that the thirty or forty delegates from
New York and Pennsylvania who had
previously threatened to bolt from the
unit rule, will now not only tamcly
submit to the Conkling- Cameron com
bination, but will be actually found
howling for Grant when the convcn-
ton meets in Chicago. The third
termers now claim n majority over
the combined opposition, which will
nominate their man on the first ballot
they say. Blaine and Sherman arc
nowhere, and Washburmc, Fish and
Edmunds, who were regarded rs the
possible dark horses, have all pro-
nounccd in favor of the cx-Presidcnt
more or less cordially. The New
York Ncr0M topples over very nim-
bly,, and now alludes to Grant rs tour
next President" although few days
ago it said that Grant cannot carry
New York, and that nobody can be
elected without that State. A good
many Of the anti-third-tcrmcrs are
hunting holes to crawl through, and
they arc not particular about the size
of the hole either. Others arc still
defiant, and tell with great emphasis
what they propose to do.
After all, the Independent vote of
the North must decide tho coming
Presidential contest. Partisans on
both sides will hurrah until they are
hoarsc for their respective candidates,
but the floating vote is like tho wind
that blowcth where it listcth, and no
man can tell where it will fall. In
1876 it went for Tildcn and elected
him. Grant has many strong points
and very many weak ones, and his
weakness lies just with the Intlcpenf-
cnt voter. We believe the Democrats
can beat Grant just as easily rs they
could beat Edmunds or Washburnc or
Fish or Sherman. The difficulty thcy
have to contend with is that the Grant
men will try to seize the government
by force if defeated at tho polls. It
remains to be seon whether the Re-
publicahs will be allowed to steal
another term Of office for Grant or any
one else.
