Let us Nominate Mr. Farnandis for
the LEGISLATURE

The Democratic party may congratulate itself
upon the character and intelligence of the dele
gates selected to represent them in the Demo-
cratic convention on Tuesday, and upon the har-
mony and good feeling existing throughout its
deliberations. There were differences of opinion
among the delegates as to the best mode OF maxi
ing nominations, but the convention wisely, |
think, passed Il series of resolutions which will
receive the cordial approval of the Democrats of
the county. and all with one voice will say =
We'll done, good and faithful servants"
With this part of the work so well done we
start upon greater field of labor, that of placing
before the people of Hartford county ticket cal
culated to inspire confidence. Who is to do this
work. say, the people-the rank and file on the
Democratic party. In their hands now depends

That every man has the right and privilege, in
n free government to present himself for the suf-
frages of his feow-citizens for any place he may
desire, is not questioned but at time like this,
when our defeat is predicted by the foe, and COM
ing out of the last contest somewhat crippled
should we not profit by past experience and spare
no efforts to procure candidates well known to
every voter in the county MON who would COM
mand the individual support of the Democratic
party?
There are gentlemen in the Democratic ranks
whom the party would delight to honor but who
never would seek nomination. They may be
induced to relinquish any objection they may en-
terrain, for the good of their party and of the
people. Among the number of these, Mr.. Editor,
allow me to suggest for the Legislature a man
who never turned his back upon the foe; Dem
ocrat from principle; one who has represented
his constituents and served the people of the
State with WISDOM skill and ability one who
would command the respect of both Democrats
and Republicans: whose ability and high charac-
ter mt him for any position in the gift of the peo-
pie. That Democrat is Hon. Henry ID. Farnandis
His name, as one of our standard-bearcrs for the
Legislature, would inspire new life the Demo-
cratic cause, be tower of strength to the entire
ticket, and he would be the StOnewall in the great
llgnt OF November next. DEMOCRAT.

Some Misstatem ents Corrected.

The Baltimore AmcricaR'S report of the
proceedings of the Democratic convention
which met in Bel Air, last Tuesday, seems to
require correction, and we take The liberty of
doing so categorically:
l. There was no "anlagonism," in the
convention or outside of it, as the american
says, between the friends of Mr.. Henry w
Archer and Mr.. Henry d. Farnandis. The
friends of one are the friends of the other.
.. The convention was not "ntended as a
feeler in the interest of Henry w. Archer for
Governor" nor of any candidate for any of.
flee. 1t was called solely to ascertain the
wishes of the party as to the mode of select
ing candidates
3. The convention was harmonious from
the beginning and consequently no efforts in
that direction were needed or exercised.
A. 1.-THE German element" did not "show
its power by crushing the aspirations of the
crushed and no influence cXerted except in
the way of carrying out the purpose for
which the convention met.
s. THE Archer men" did not leave in
disgust" Mr.,Archer took prominent and
useful part in the convention and remained
until all its business was over. He left before
Mr.. Farnandis began his speech and only on
account of fatigue from having been engaged
in court all day-which Mr.. Farnandis pei
fectly understood.
g. The statement of the american that
Mr.. Farnandis becomes the director in Han.
ford of Mr.. Germans forces" is wide of tie
truth. Mr. Farnandis recognizes the whole
party but no part of party,
In short it is difficult TO see how any more
errors could be crowded into the slme mum
her of lines. If the Ame,4cans object is tC
create dissensions among Hartford county
Democrats it will fail. The Democratic par.
ty here is united and intends 10 remain so.
The following note from Mr.. Farnandis
definitely sets at rest the American's state.
ments as to his relations with Mr. Archer:

Dear Sir In any correction you may
pointed my attention, in the accounts given
by the Baltimore Ame,icdn, of the Democrat.
ic convention held here on the 18th instant
you may say for me,
That there is no "antagonism" between
Mr.. Archer and myself, nor, as far as / know
between his friends and my friends, nor do
know of any member of the convention who
was not friend of Mr.. Archer
Our personal relations have been cordial
and our political views and actions harmo
Nous.
Whilst amongst those gentlemen who are
prominently presented as candidates of the
Democratic party for Governor, there arc
many whom | esteem and respect highly, nc
one could be nominated who, from me anG
my friends, as far as l could influence them
would receive more jealous support than Mr.
Archer
Very respectfully,

The Democratic County Convention.

The deep interest felt in the approaching
election was shown by the character of the
men composing the Democratic convention
which met in Bel Air on Tuesday. Every
precinct in the county except one sent its
full delegation of representative men, and il
is worthy Of note that with very few excep
tions all who were elected at the primary
meetings attended the convention. These
men, too, were not office-seekers or bent
upon advancing individual interests. They
were solid, substantial farmers and business
men-interested in the success of the Demo-
cratic party and in good government in
county and State. They could not be &C,
cused of selfish motives, in leaving their
homes at the busiest season of the year. but
came solely to represent the views and wishes
of the precincts and districts which elected
them, and to consult for the welfare of their
party. That the result will be productive Of
good we have no doubt.
Their proceedings were marked by spirit
of harmony, earnestness and good judgment
which must be gratifying to every sincere
Democrat. 1t was evident from the tone of
the convention that the Democratic party in
Hartford county is more thoroughly and COM
pactly united than it has been for many
years, and Il determination was expressed,
both in the proceedings in the convention
and among the individual members, to sup
port for nomination only the best men in the
party.
The convention wisely RETAINED from en-
gazing in fruitless discussion of the respec-
tive merits of the delegate and the Crawford
county systems of nominating candidates,
but in Difference to the wishes of majority
of the voters of the party advised that no
change be made ut this time in the plan of
nominating as practced by the Democratic
party in Hartford county for the past twelve
years The resolutions adopted also dis.
courage the personal solicitation or votes by
candidates for nomination, the elimination
and recrimination of each other by candi-
dates, and recommend the burial OF all past
differences, for the good of the party.
Just how far candidates will regard the
recommendations of the convention we can
not tell but if they do act upon the advice
given it will he a great relief to the voters
and to many Of the candidates themselves as
well. The suggestion made by Mr.. Farnan-
dis, in his speech before the convention, is
perhaps, one which will b .tter satisfy pros
pective candidates and voters too. 1t is that
no pledges be made to any candidate until all
the names are announced Then from tho
printed list let each voter select for himself
the best men. If this course is pursued the
result, we have not the slightest doubt, will
be the nomination of good ticket.
The Democratic party is largely in the ma
iorty in Hartford county. 1t is united in
maintaining ard upholdng Democratic prin-
ciples and free from boss domination of any
kind A ticket thus fairly nominated would
secure the undivided Democratic vote and be
triumphantly elected.
