County Convention.

In this paper will be found the pro
ceedings of the County Convention,
in full. We have not space this
week to refer to it at length, further
than TO say that the Convention was
very harmonious one, and its nom.
inees satisfactory to the Democratic
party, which is an omen Of the sue.
cess of the ticket this Fall.
HON. H. R. HOWARD,
one Of the candidates for the House
of Delegates, is well known to the
people of this county. He has held
many positions Of honor and trust in
the county. He is mot without ex-
perience in legislation, having in
1870 represented this county in the
Legislature. He is a lawyer byspro.
fession, thorough Democrat, an act.
i've worker, a good speaker, and is
very popular among the masses. AL.
though lawyer, he is thoroughly
acquainted with the wants and needs
of the laboring class, for he himself
for upwards of eighteen years work.
ed at his trade, that of printer, in
order to educate and qualify himself
for his profession. We, therefore say,
that in no safer hands can that class
of people confde their interests than
in Mr.. Towards. If elected, as he
will be, the interests of Mason coun-
ty will not be overlooked.
JOHN NJ. EcKARD, ESQ.,,
the other candidate for the House Of
Delegates is farmer and one of our
most substantial citizens. A plain,
square, honest man, whom everybody
knows and everybody likes. We
predict his election by a handsome
majority.
1t is "a peculiar happy combination
that of Messrs. Howard and Eckard.
One is acquainted with the wants
and needs Of the manufacturer, the
merchant, the miner, the citizen and
the laborer; while the other knows
from every day experience what the
farmer, the stock raiser and that class
Of people who live by agricultural
pursuits, needs and wants. Thus,
by consulting together, the varied
interests of the county can be fully
represented and cared for.
JAS. A. DUNN, ESQ,
is the nominee of the Convention for
County Commissioner. He is q resi-
dent Of Arbuekle District. A farmer,
and clear-headed practical man, in
whom the affairs of the county can
be safely entrusted.
With such q popular ticket the
Democracy Of Mason ought to roll up
a majority Of five hundred for it.

Colored voters in the north have
begun to demand recognition and to
find out that "whites for office and
blacks for voting" is the unalterable
working rule Of the republican party
in that section, and a sort of political
negro instruction is not unlikely to
occur in consequence, As the color.
ed vote holds the balance of power in
several closely contested States, the
gathering discomfort, might exert a
potent influence in the next presi'
dental election, were it not for the
fact that the colored voter has been
trained to the habit Of passive ODE
dience. AS it is, the masses of the
race are too ignorant to appreciate
the situation.

In this paper we publish an edito-
rial from the Wheeling Register on the
Second District Congressional Con-
vention. We do this to lay it before
the Democratic Convention assem-
bled here to-day. 1t points out the
breakers on which Conventions may
founder; and we hope 1t will be the
aim Of the delegates to steer clear Of
them to-day, The Keyser business
is in bad state, and we want no
repetition Of it in this, our new Dis
trict. Let harmony and good feeling
prevail. Ifyou are defeated in your
choice of a candidate, submit grace

start, and you will remain right.

We agree with the dissenters of

the rulings of the presiding officer,

tunic on his shoulders, placed tall
staff in his hand, and assigned to him
a posture, as if he were resting on the
steps of an ancient Roman temple.
In this attitude he was discovered
by young friend and pupil of the
painters who alone had the privilege
of being admitted to the udio at all
times. Surprised by the excellence of
the model, he congratulated his master
on having at last found exactly what
he wanted. Not for "A moment doubt
ing that the model had just been beg
ging at the porch of some church or at
the corner of bridge, and much struck
by his features, the young man. espy-
ing moment when the artists eyes
were averted, slipped twenty-fran
piece into the models hand. Rothschild
kept the money, thanking the giver by
look. and the young man went his
way. He was, as the banker soon
found out from Delacroix, without for
tune and obliged to give lessons in order
to exc out his living. Sometime latter
the youth received letter, mentioning
that charity bears interest, and that
the accumulated interest on twenty
francs, which he, prompted by gener-
Gus impulse, had given to man in ap-
pearance beggar, was lying at his dis
posal in Rothschild's Office, to the
amount of ten thousand francs, having
borne five hundred fold, like the seed
in the parable.
