the prostitution of politics in this county,
the debasement and bribery of editors

should not need to have his attention
again directed to the fact that he mas
not entirely discharged the duties Of his
late Office. Without his signature and
certificate of correctness some highly
important public records are defective.
His neglect to thus complete them is
inexcusable and may not only he incon-
venient to the public; but expensive to
him and his bondsmen if continued in.
If he does not right the matter soon
somebody will be after him with sharp
stick.

OVER in Chester county, as in this
county, the Democrats can elect one COM
missioner. 1t has been the custom to
nominate two candidates. The result is
that they cut and slash at each other, en-
gender bad feeling and party demoraliza-
tion, by each trying to run the other low
and elect himself. In 1875 the commits
sioners ran 400 below the ticket and in
1878 one of them was 1900 below. The
Chester County Democrat sensibly calls for
one nomination aud says "Ifwe nomi.
nate two, the nomination fails to settle
anything. 1t becomes more bitter and
personal than ever, and the whole cam
paign is burdened with bitter fight be.
tween the two candidates. This is wrong.
1t is the right and the duty of the conven-
ton to settle the matter that is what
conventions are for-to make the ticket to

right, and our wonder is that such sensible
men as the Chester county Democrats
