make nominations OF the officers they are
TO elect.
The heads OF departments will be elected
on Joint ballot.
! The Idea seems to he that the Democratic
caucus will, without claiming itself down
to any such rule as General Malone fasten-
ed upon his men, distribute official favors
over the whole State 80 far asthe same may
be done without detriment to the grand
purpose TO secure for each place the wor-
thiest man that can be found to fill it..
