B. 20; c, 5, just as they were
cast at the polls. They can do nothing
else, as the convention will only accept
tho vote as there given. After the fourth
ballot the weakest is dropped. The DEL
ega,es still vote 80 for A, as long as he
is before the convention; when he tails
out they add AS vote to b. II he also
falls out they give all TO Z. When ne
falls they are at liberty each man to
vote as he sees tit. We have not space
hero to elaborate The system. but it Is
the faIrest and best OF all, when guard
ed BY proper rules. II we are 10 have
a change let it be to this. or some SINH
lar plan. not back to the irresponsible
delegate system, with n township in
and another not, and no gen.
uine, unassailable way to arrive at
what the people want.
In conclusion we have this 10 say.
All plans are more or less tallible. The
best, badly aud dishonesty conducted,
is not as good as the worst, well and
honestly administered. Above all things
democrats should seek unity OF their
party, and honesty in its methods. Men
are nothing-thsy are Of to-day. Prinoi-
pies are everything-they are forever.
The man who presumes to dictate to the
party is not its friend and the man who
attacks collectively and unjust!y its
trusted leaders. men who have been &C.
corded its suffrage by overwhelming
maiorities. is its enemy. Il is for the
democrats at the polling places to say
who they prefer for office. and not for
selt.appolnted oensors; especially not
for men who without good cause and
probably Tor selfish reasons. attack
the chosen officers OF the party
from the ambush of q nom-de-Plume.
A. for the Intelligencer. it is for the
democratic ticket, fairly nominated, no
matter what the method, and it is tor a
gentlemanly and polite conduct of the
canvass. Epitht IS. innuendoes and tho
common slang OF pot-house politics
should be put to the rear /; and we have
an idea that they will be reouked In
