COUNTY POLITICS.

This is the year for political conven-
tons which we are glad doesn't come
in this State but once in two years.
Having had our say on national, state
and district politics we come down to
county politics as next in order.
1t is possible that there may be
new deal all around. as it is reported
that Judge Thompson's health is so
poor, he seriously thinks of resigning
his position or at least not standing for
another nomination. We do not vouch
for the truth of this report, but 1t Is
likely that the Judge can have another
nomination if he desires it.
For senators in the north part of the
county the name of Elisha Lane of Der
by, stands perhaps first on the list from
his having been prominent candidate
two years ago. Mr.. Lane is thoroughly
known as one of our most successful
business men and would make a good
senator. The name of Judge Taylor of
Morgan has also been mentioned in this
connection. For the south part of the
county it is possible that l. D. r. Col
Inns of Barton Landing and W. W. Goss
of Greensboro will be among the candi.
dates for nomination.
For county judges the names of Orsor
Miller of Troy. and Sidney R. Fletcher
of Holland-whose towns-people think
they have been neglected in the distri
button of political honors,-D. P. Wal
worth of Coventry and A. P. Dutton o
Craftsbury, and perhaps some othe
names are in the minds of the people
these are among the names most respect
ed in the county for judgment and wis
dom. For sheriff. in case any chang
is deemed advisable the names of A. G
BOwley of Newport and |. T. Patterso
of Craftsbury will be prominent befor
the convention. These are both DEF
uties of long experience and men c
integrity.
For states attorney, the names of job
Young of Derby Line, and F. W. Bale
win, of Barton. will be presented to tn
convention. Mr.. Baldwin was a prom
nent candidate two years ago. and M
Young has also been candidate in 70

CANDIDATE.

General Garfield, personally consider
ed, is singularly pure and upright. He is
one of the few men in public life who can
look his beautiful little wife and lovely
children in the face without shame. We
say this advisedly, for we have known
Garfield intimately all his public life, and
we can advise the mud machine called

THE DEMOCRATIC
NOMINATION.

The nomination of General Hancock
is the abandonment of what is called
the fraud issue by the Democratic
party, and it seems almost as If the
Convention had decided not to treat the
situation seriously. General Hancock
is brave soldier, who served CALAMITY
through the war, and he is a gentleman
of high personal character, but as
candidate for the Presidency he repre-
sents merely the Democratic party. Mr..
Tilden was in himself the issue upon
which his letter insists, and which has
been made the paramount question in
every Democratic platform since 1876.
If, as he alleges, great wrong has
been done to popular government in his
person, the remedy was obvious: he
should have been nominated by accla-
nation. But practical politics are very
illogical. 1t is not often that the ex-
citement and confusion of a nominating
Convention permit the nomination of a
representative leader of party, like
General Garfield.
General Hancock represents no poll
cy, no principle, no issue, nothing but
the party which has nominated him,
and he will be supported by those only
who think that the public welfare would
be prompted by bringing the Democrat
ic party into power. General Garfield
stands for the best sentiment of the
party which has been identified with
the patriotism, the intelligence, the free
industry, the progressive spirit, of the
country. General Hancock represents
a party without programme or a poll
cy, and with the most damaging tradi-
tions. That party has eminent leaders,
but General Hancock is not one of them.
If he has views upon public questions,
they are not known. He is, of course
wholly without civil experience. except
that of military Governor. He is 6
worthy gentleman. whose life has beer
passed in the military service, anc
whose election as President would be &
leap in the dark.
General Garfield, on the other hand
is not only citizen soldier of distinc
ton, but statesman of wide and va
rious experience and sagacity, of IN
usual knowledge and tact, leader o
his party by signal ability, and gen
tleman of unblemished character. l
| the Office of Chief Magistrate of tn
Union requires civil ability and espec
ial knowledge. wide experience AM
courage, matured convictions upon pub
lie principles and policy, familiarit
with public affairs and public men, a
well as perfect personal rectitude, an
intelligent sympathy with the ideas an
purposes and tendency Of great polit
cal party. General Garfield is peculiarl
the candidate for those who wish
! know what their votes mean. Gener;

show favoritism toward one of its mem
bers above another where two were up
for the same position, other things being
equal. At least, in this case, where
each claim majority, we are at liberty
to infer that the bar is about equally
divided in sentiment. Mr.. Young has
been much longer at the bar than Mr..
Baldwin, and if there is any virtue in
the civil service rules now in vogue, it
would seem that Mr.. Young is entitled
to a nomination. But it can be safely
left to the convention to do the just
thing between them.-Erpress.

senator, and we learn that the friends

pressing his name. Martin Chafey Of
Albany is worthy man who is alst

G. Hoyt or A. G. Hitchcock for assist

propriety name S. R. Jenkins or |. A

they are entitled to recognition and ma.
bring forward either J. G. Orne or Capt
Averill for sheriff. We notice that tn
Express folks, and certain others in
directly interested are very solicitous i
regard to Judge Thompson's health, an
are inviting resignation from him
We know whereof we speak when we sa
that his health at present is improving

scheming to enrich himself through
Ames's rascality, he was shining about
Washington, striving to borrow $500 to
pay house rent, and SO ignorant of the
commonest financial process that he did
not know how to negotiate an ordinary
note of hand. He has not only lived in
the open air, but has occupied positions
where, like other leaders, he could have
winked himself into millions. He holds
to-day the honored position of being the
only poor man among political leaders.

The convention was called to order by
w. II. Hammond, chairman of the COM
mittee. Elisha Lane reading. the roll of
delegates. Milton R. Tyler of Burling-
ton was chosen president, d. M. Camp
of Newport, secretary. The convention

as follows:

Gen. Grout was declared the nominee.
The friends of the other candidates at
once moved that the nomination be
made unanimous which was heartily
done.
The canvass previous to the conven.
tion became somewhat exciting, owing
to the fact that Judge Powers and Mr.
Sowles were contesting the ground with
Gen. Grout, but the result was accepted
so far as is known, without the Least
bitterness on the part of the candidates
OF their friends.
The result is peculiarly gratifying t.
