York County Fusion Convention
The Managers Disappointed.
From The Union and JournaD

(rTOm i ne Union anu JOurnaI)
1t is not our intent or purpose in any way to
belittle or disparage the county conventions
of our political opponents. We do not be-
lieve in such kind of argument, but when we
say that the conventions of Wednesday were
a surprise and disappointment to the Fusion
managers we but speak fact that was most
The conventions had been called on an ex-
ceedinglv small percentage of the Plaisted
vote, and the two together, would have had,
il fully attended, about 44O delegates. The
object of having so large a number of dele
gates was simply to draw n crowd, but four
bands of music and an unusually thorough
advertising of a mass meeting to be address
ed by every gentleman on the Fusion ticket,
and one Of the best days that could possibly
have been selected failed to enthuse the op-
position voters of York county and we but
speak fact when we say that not more than
500 people were present in the court house
yard to listen TO the speech making.
A Republican convention carried on after
the style and manner Of the conventions of
Wednesday would not be tolerated in the
party at all. For machine made, cut and
dried states, our opponents are entitled to
the palm. Everything in the two con-
ventioRs went smoothly on until the supply
Of oil gave ont and then there ensued the
friction which is always found in two con-
ventions trying to unite on one ticket. The
greenbackers professed to be unwilling to
put in nomination any but believers in green
back principles while the democrats wanted
not only to nominate their own candidates
but to dictate to their greenback allies who
theirs should be.
The ticket nominated is q weak one in
many respects. 1t will not satisfy the
combination voters and it is q disappoint-
ment to the fusion leaders. The nom
appearance of Gov. Plaisted. Murch, Thing
and three other lesser lights who were
advertised to address the mass meeting was
disappointment to many who wished to see
and hear them. 1t was q bad finish of bad

Augusta. Tuesday Morning, Aug. Is.
The Campaign Opened.

The campaign is now fairly opened.
The issues on which it is to be fought have
been announced. The county nominations
are pretty well advanced. This week a
large number Of public meetings will be
held and addressed by leading speakers
Of the respective parties. The republi-
cans will present fine array Of speakers.
al Of whom it will be pleasant and profit
able for our people to hear. Efforts have
been made in advance by the democratic
papers to create prejudice against repub-
lican speakers coming from other States,
but this will have an effect contrary from
that intended, and stimulate many to 60
and hear who otherwise would have re-
NAMED at home. Atany rate we trust all
our meetings will be well attended, and
that local committees and public spirited
individuals will be active and interested in
making them successful. All wide awake
republicans will certainly attend the
meetings, and invite all their neighbors to
do likewise, whatever their politics may
= be
But besides the duty of attending pub
lie meetings is the greater duty of work
ing among the voters. convincing the
doubling. giving light to those who may
need it, arousing the indifferent. organizing
every school district perfectly. and
making all needful preparations to
bring out the full republican vote IN every
city, town and plantation in the State.
This Is work that must not be neglected.
Town and city committees will lead in the
work. but they will gladly receive assis-
lance in any direction from those who are
able and willing to aid them.
There are now but tour weeks to cleo
ton. Work must be pushed with vigor
in the brief space which yet remains for
improvement There is no time for dilly-
dallying. The camp-fres must be kindled
at once on every hill and in every valley,
and such an enthusiasm be started as will
leave no sleepers or loterers when the
polls open on September 18th. Though
the political elements have been serene
thus far. there is no lack of interest among
republicans. The great Importance ofthe
election is recognized and understood,
involving as it does the election Of a
United States senator and members OF
congress, also the appointment of five
judges of the Supreme Court This is fav-
orable and hopeful, and yet we must de-
pend upon unrelaxing vigilance and I'M
firing. intelligent work to roll up the ma
jority which we are entitled to in this
campaign.
