and Of course there are others still :

of this new and strange birth, but tn
head, as we have said, is certainly
Mr.. Lytle-the gentleman who onc'
sat upon the County Bench, but made
no reputation as jurist, we believe
at least not in foreign countries. Still
he is a respectable man, and without
doubt watches Billy Balls still.hous,
with both zeal and knowledge.
The credit Of conducting this pro
tracted and painful incubation is gen
orally, and we dare say justly, given
to Mr.. Miller. Why this gentleman
has chosen to abandon his old party,
even before he has entirely ceased to
draw its pay, we are not fully advis.
ed. Presumably because we have not
had offices enough with which to fitly
reward his brilliant party services.
However that may be, this is still a
tolerably free country, thanks to the
democratic party, and every one has
a perfect right, with or without rea-
son, to change his coat or his friends
whenever he sees proper. We there
fore part with Mr.. Miller, who as
democrat has made very good officer
indeed, in the kindliest spirit-nay,
even with resignation, and congratu-
late eur republican friends upon the
acquisition of a new Boss.
AS we are thus likely, at this late
day, to meet determined and per-
haps bitter opposition, it is in order to
call democratic attention, and the
scrutiny of every body else, to the gen.
tlemen who compose our ticket. Ger
tainly our party has not, in selecting
its candidates, taken that advantage
of the people which is sometimes
prompted by an assured majority.
These men are not place-hunters, par
ty hacks or wire-pullers. They are
not the product of a clique or ring.
They are of and from the people.
They are conservative, they are res
pectable, they are representative. They
were chosen, not in the back.room of
a postofice, but in open daylight and
before the people. Look at them
ELLIS w. BRowN.-An upright,
christian gentleman, an intelligent
md faithful judge, against whom
nothing has been said, or can be said,
BY any person in the county, white or
black.
JOHN BLAIN.-The best Clerk any
county ever had, whose records are
models of neatness and accuracy,
whose Office is frightened continually
With as fine a grace and as rare a
ourtesy as ever presided in draw
and whose intellect and in
egrity would do honor to any posi-
ion, even the highest in the gift of
he State.
ID. r. CARPENTER. "A modest and
lanly young fellow, with both brains
nd culture.
Tom NEwLAND.-Sober, steady,
onest as the sun-as humane a Jail
:, and yet as vigilant as ever drew ,
oft upon republican fellow-citizen.
JOHN N. MENEFEE.-Quiet, reso-
tie, courteous. When had Lincoln
,unty ever a more faithful or efficient
leriff?
JOE HooKER.-A young man of =
needed capacity and energy, and of
Ie highest character. =
