A Party of Reform!

On last Saturday there were perhaps dozen Demo-
Gratis from the country. And these were doubtless
ashamedto upon that day, that they were Demo-
Gratis. We would that every respectable Democrat in
the County could have seen the miserable farce
red on at the Court House. under the name of Dem
ocratic Convention" Those who engaged in it ad-
mitted that it a farce, and were ashamed of it.
The fact is, the people very well satisfied with
the manner in which the Republicans have conducted
affairs of the County. They do not want change
and, especially, intelligent Democrats do not want
follow longer, the lead of the Democratic frauds
who have been for the past few years pretending to
teach political wisdom. Mr.. Levi DUNCAN exhibited
the milk of the cocoa-nut when he declared that the
politicians mostly desired the nomination of the man
with the longest purse. There is argument under
the why any Republican should be voted out of,
Democrat voted into, an office in jackson Ccun
ty. No County in the State has better record than
has this County since the Republicans came into
power. Before that time-but it makes Democratic
politicians mad rake up the record of their party
"But' says one Democrat, 'you amt goin to vote

Right there a stumbling block for our reporter
A Democrat cannot stand discussion of the varie-
gated platforms made by his party reference to the
history of his party just ruins him; we arrived at
the conclusion after this conversation that If the To-
cal statesmen desire go before the people of the
County with such a ticket that nominated" on
last Saturday we stand it if they But, one
principle Democratic statesman will always stick
to-that is Reform" And to show that the states
men really are favor of Reorm-in fact in favor OF
making Reform necessary feature of politics. we Will
record the fact that they nominated man for lnrm-

hours after his nomination HE WAS IN THE GALA
