Harmonious in Horn-A new Ticket 10
be Nominated, or the old one Boited BY
In1uential Members ofthe Party.
Ever since the adjournment OF the
Democratic County Convention on Mon.
day. numerous prominent members OF
that party have been loud in their denun-
Citations Of the action Of that body, and
frank in their expressions in regard to the
nominees. The usurpation Of power, as
most Of the thinking Democats consider
Il, by which the Convention, called to
nominate county officers, also named the
delegates TO the Congressional Conven-
ton for this district, Is one source OF much
discord. The general impression seems to
be that the action Of the Convention in
this respect will be quietly ignored by the
Executive Committee, and that that body
will proceed to call Convention for the
selection OF delegates TO the State and Dis
trict Conventions, and conierees Tor
co.operation in the nomination OF candi:
date for State Senator. There can, OF
course, be no doubt that delegates so Sc
Iected would be admitted to the Conven'
ton at once, in preference TO those chosen
Monday.
But the most serious disruption In the
party Is oCcasioned by the nature OF the
nominations made. A Democrat told us
yesterday that the ticket, with the excep'
ton OF Judge Boyd and Mr.. Brown. was
made up by the influence OF some oil tue
defeated candidates, and that the nomlna,
tons were made for the sole purpose oil
handicapping the head Of the ticket. This
information was given on the authority Of
other Democrats, and the gentleman with
whom we talked even went so far as e
name tho candidates who entered into the
combination, and TO show at least plausi
Bile grounds for accepting his theory by
canvass OF the votes cast on the different
ballots. Whenever a weak candidate
showed a good vote, the strength OF Ger
tain candidates was at once thrown TO theil
aid; and in this way the ticket was appar
emily made up OF the least desirable tim
Der offered.
II An organized movement is on loot
though the lNTELLIGEScER is not at lib
erty TO diyulge the names OF the prime
spirits engaged, to either force majority
OF tue Chuuludktb VA VI, the tiSnOti VI bO1
and nominate new ticket, taking up two
or three OF the present candidates, ant
defeating the others.
An overture has been made by promi
nent Democratic certain managing Repub
licans, looking to the nomination Of . Citi
zens ticket, made up Of representative
man o.s both parties. The overture wa
raiao.od onC .he representative Of thu
dissifected Democrats Informed that tn
Republicans intended to elect a st!.asn
ticket, and would hear no proposition OF
fusion OF this sort. The other proIec
was then preached among some Of tn
J Democratic politicians, and it was conclu!
ded that the ticket now in the field, posi-
J bly, with three exceptions,is doomed 7,
defeat. If boilers ticket is nominated
as a matter OF course, both will be de
feated; but it was thought better to TAX
his course than to vote the Republican
ticket, on account Of the reblke it woui'
, administer to the class Of politicians max
:. ing the regular nominations.
