called to nominate a ticket last Satur-
day, met in the Court House. It was
the largest Convention the Democrats
ever held, and was composed of the rep
re~sentative men of the county. 1t was
organized quietly and the work was done
well, and without any i'll feeling or UNI
pleasantness, SO far as we could discov-
er. The Delegates that composed the
Convention were fresh from the people,
and came to it unbiased or unpledg-
ed for any candidate. They had not.
been 'tseen" or instructed by ~aspirants
for Office months in advance, and prom
Uses exacted from them to vote for this
man OF that candidate, or any sspins"
set up by which the honest preferences
of a majority of the party were swindled
out of their choice, as was the case in
the Republican Convention a few weeks
ago. The ticket is one of the best that
has been presented to the people of Pre-
BILE county for years, and should receive,
as we believe it will, the hearty support

county and its affairs at heart, no matter
to which party they belong. No threats
of a "bolt" or "kicking'' of defeated
candidates follows the closing proceed
ings of the Democratic Convention. No
candidate that was '1eft," is offering ov-
ertures to the opposition, and willing
that his name may be used for ''inde-
pendent political purposes against his
party. No charges of .selling ont" or
skullduggery loom up from those whose
claims were presented for preferrment
All is harmony-all agree that a good af-
ternoon's work was done, and a ticket
presented against which no reasonable
objections can be offered, and unexcep-
tional in every point. We congratulate
the Convention on its work.
For Auditor, JOHN A. KAYLoR, of Wash
ington township, known all over the
county as an excellent business man, a
successful farmer, and well qualified to
fill the Office and discharge the duties of
County Auditor. He has not been lying
around six or seven years, waiting and
manipulating to turn up the "Jack" of
office, it came to him almost unsolicited,
and it will be largely to the interest of
the Taxpayers of Preble county to elect
him.
.AzEL PIERCE, of Somers township, was
nominated for Sheriff. He is a son of
Frank A. Pierce, a large land owner on
the Hamilton pike, and is a young man
of excellent education, honest, temperate
in his habits, and if elected, will make
an efficient officer. His opponent is
wholly incompetent for the Office.
For Recorder and Commissioner, Fl
L. ROBBINS and D. w. HARsHMAN have
been re-nominated for a second term. o.
these two gentlemen we need say moth
ing. They are tried and faithful servant.
of the people, and will be again elected
HI. ROBBINS is one of the most cleve
and accommodating Recorders we eve
had, always cheerful and happy, it is
pleasure to meet him and do business il
his Office.
EPHRIAM YoUNG was nominated for In
Urinary Director. He is a young mar G
good business experience that well fit
E him for the position. He lives close t
, the County farm, and if elected, we guar
antee the taxpayers will work a reform
in that Institution, something that W
all know is badly needed.
n DIR. A. H. STEPHENS was re-nominate
v for Coroner, and will no doubt be agai
Every one of the nominees are men {
s irreproachable character, sober, tempe
rate, industrious and well qualified fo
J. the places. Not a word can be sal
# against any n of them, and the vote,
of this county who know how the Repul
lican Convention was managed, ought
,e elect every one as a rebuke to polite.
