POLITICAL POINTS.

The Democratic County Convention.
and what It should DO.
TO the Editor of the Register.
The question is asked every day, Why
don't the County Committee call County
Convention, so that legislative ticket can
be placed In nomination before the voters
of the county?
can't answer the question, but can, and
will say, that the Convention should be
called at as early day as possible. 1t is
only about six weeks, or such matter, un-
til the day Of the election, and this is not
much time to get up lively campaign in
the county.
The timeof holding the Convention is
not so important to the party and people,
as the ticket that may be nominated, and 1t
is on this point that / have something to
say and suggest. 80.
The Democratic party, in order to elect q
full Legislative ticket in Ohio county, must
select better Der than the last ticketMas
composed Of or else It viii meet the same
fate. The party has plenty of good men for
the ticket, and why not use them? This
campaign will be hot one, / know.
The Congressional candidates will con-
test every inch of ground in the county,
and it behooves the Democratic party to
put forward for the Legislature, both for
the Senate and the House of delegates, their
best and most nnexceptionable men.
We must have men whose bitterest eue-
mics are not those OF their own no ISehold.
Men that stand well with all classes of our
people and command many outsids votes.
The present campaign will admit of no
chickering's or dissensions, for we will have
a wide.awak man to lead the opposition in
the person of General Goff. He will en-
thuse the Republicans to high pitch, and
they will leave no stone unturned to carry
their man and party through if possible.
We want unity, harmony, good candi-
dates and strong pull, and long pull al
together, and the result will score the
county for Good by large majority, and
full Democratic legislative ticket for the
county, and Senator for the Harmony
district.
