DISTRICT CANDIDATES.
Duty Of Every True Democrat.

The Executive Committee of this Ju-
dicial district, met in OwcnsborO on
last Saturday, to receive the pOll-bOOks
of the primary election held on the Bird
inst, and to declare the result. The
counties of Ohio, Mclean and Daviess
were represented, and a letter from the
chairman of the committee for this
county, was on hand, givin" the result
After examining the poll books, the
committee by resolution declared l.. L.
Little as the Democratic nominee for
Circuit Judge and Joe Noe for Com
monwealth's Attorney.
The nOn-action of the majority of the
county committee of Ohio county, was
timely rebuked by the minority, us
well as the State Central Committee,
and a regular primary election was held
there. The preteXt afforded by the rec
redncy of the majority of the commit
tee i'm Ohio for Joe Haycraft to bolt the
primary was effectually destroyed by
the gallant Democracy in that county.
1t was perhaps much to- his misfortune
that he committed this mistake, but
having done it, he must per necessity
abide it. Ii he yields To the declared re-
suits of the primary, his political future
will he preserved to him, but if he shall
persist in making the race, he will be
eterndiy damned with the regular De-
mocracy. He cannot escape the atti-
tude of boiler, and any Democrat who
supports him against the regular nOmi-
nee, will lay himself open to the impu-
tation of a disOrganizer. and very
poor sort of Il Democrat. The same may
be said of those Democrats who may
support Judge Stuart. Whilst Judge
Stuart is not liable to be called boiler,
he occupies II hostile opposition to party
organization. and i'm us much as no
party can be surely effective without
party discipline, he is nothing less than
a dsorganizer. If he, Stuart, is DEM
Ocrat, as some insist he Is, he is IA very
poor one, and by arraying himself
against the best interests, and assllm-
ing to oppose the wisest counsels of the
party, he evinces an utter disregard of
the party organization. His own per-
sOnal ends, constitute his party inter-
eSts. Party organization and success,
with such men, are always secondary
to their own personal ambition. No
party can afford to accommodate such
political adventures. Only such parti
sans as are trained to accept the will of
their party, are entitled To support for
place or office. The future good organ
ization of the Democratic party in this
district is largely dependent upon full,
free vindication of the action of the par
ty authorities, and the overwhelming
defeat of Stuart and Haycraft. Every
true Democrat will have an oppOrtuni-
ty to put himself upon record at the
August election, and every truculent
one will have an opportunity to bTUnd
himself, and to he continuously marked
by the true Democrat hencefOrward
We sincerely trust that few, if any, will
thus immediate themselves. We know
that friendly ties are Oft times very
strong, but We likewise know that no
man has the right to demand that his
personal friend shall make Il sacrifice
of his political manhood upon the altar
of personal friendship, and 10 real man.
ly Democrat will do il. Messrs. Little
and Noe are good men, are i'm every
sense qualified for the positions to
which they are nominated, and are well
worthy every Democratic vote in the
district, and will doubtless get every
true one. The party in this district de-
mands it. The personal interest of
every true member demands il, and the
true Democrats from Maine to Texas
demand it. Let every man he true to
his party, to his manhood and his cOun-
try, if he would he approved by his con-
science, his cOuntrymen and his God
