Anywhere outside OF the Democratic
party il might seem paradoxieal that in
three states which profess 10 endorse :
platform that is pledged 10 "mainte
nance Of the public credit-state and
national" the chief issue in theil
present local canvass is the question of
repudiating their state debts BIT the
flexibiiity of the Democracy is equal &c
anything that does not INVOLVE the exer
else Of good faith or the practice of pc
litical consistency.
When the Hancock boomers put in
the plea that many Democrats fought
for the preservation Of the Union. they
should not forget that in so doing they
virtually seeded from the Democracy,
which, it is n matter Of welI-authenticat-
ed history, opposed the war in all of its
platforms and pronounced it a failure
just on the eve of its successful consum-
nation 1t must be borne in mind that
the prosecution of the war for the sup
preston of the rebellion, was the vital is
sue between the Republican and Demo
cratic parties from 1861 to 1865, and that
the establishment of its results is the
inn ortant question which divides them
to-day

THE TICKET.

So Tar as we have been able TO learn,
there is the usual degree OF satisfaction
among Republicans OF the county, over
the nominations made at the conven-
ton held in this city August 81 As is al
ways tn he expected, the defeated candi-
dates and their more ardent friends are
feeling somewhat disappointed over the
result, but there are no indications OF
active Justification, and the almost unani-
NOUS verdict is that the convention has
put intn the field = good ticket generally,
and one which will bring 10 its support
the full Republican vote of the county
Il is t<Ge that the convention Was one
OF the Warmest ever held in the county,
and that the contests over some OF the
offices were close and unyield ing. Bot
in every case. rs soon as the resuii was
announced, there Was manifested spirit
OF ScquiesceRce in the decision Of the
majority that leasls TAI the belief that the
fight closed when the nominations were
made. and that all hands are now pre-
pared tn roll up their sleeves and put in
their best efforts between now and elce-
ton day for the success Of the ticket
IL is altogether probable that those un-
scrGp0lSaS sehemsrs and political inter
loPers which infess every community
will seize the Opportunity which a
warm fight SF this kind always presents.
