Senator Jackson received his infor-

Senator had concluded, Gen. Atkins
was called for. Amid great cheer

TTnN


We gfee a full synopsis to-day of
the proceedings of the Democratic
Congressional Convention, which
convened ut MorristOwn on Tues
dav. August 18th. Last week we
expressed the opinion that the best
interests of the Democracy of the
First District would be subserved if
the Convention should not make a
nomination. The Convention, by a
large majority, thought otherwise.
Try as we will We can see no reason
for changing our opinion. We be-
Iieve that the very result we broad
" limited at last week has already
followed the nomination.
But. il Is done and we acquiesce.
IL may be, also, that the choice made
bv the Convention of a standard
bearer was the wiscst choice. We
had not thought so. We believed
and still believe that other gentle
men in the district were as much, or
more. entitled to the race IS Mr..
TAYLOR. aud would have made as
successful a campaign, at least. But
10 Is done. and we acquiesce. MIR.
TAYLOR is a gallant young man, pos
seSsed of some ability, and will no
doubt endcavOr to make it warm for
Mai. PettibOne this fall.

To the School Directors CT Cooke County:
GENTLEMEN have examined the New Ameri.
can Series of School Books published by J. H
Butler & Co., Philadelphia, and hereby heartily
recommend them for use in our public schools
One main obstacle in the way of the SUCCESS of our
public schools is the want of uniformity in books
Every teacher wants to different books and
the patrons have in many cases to buy books they
do not need. Many OF the counties in the State
have adopted the publications of J. II. Butler &
Co., and when the remaining counties follow
there will be no necessity to buy new books when
man moves from one town to another Hoping
you will express your approval of these books in
the interest of our public schools, I remain,
