DemocratIc County ticket.

The Democratic County Conven
tion which met in Eaton on Saturday
last pursuant to call, for the purpose
of nominating aticket. was large and
the work it done harmonious and
perfectly satisfactory to every Dem
ocrat that was present. The ticket
is an exceptionally good one, and
cannot help but commend itself to
the support of the people of Preble
county. Every candidate is a labor
ing man, fully qualified to discharge
the duties OF the Office for which he
was nominated, and if elected will
faithfully and honestly discharge
them. No Office seeker oftwenty five
or thirty years standing is among
them. They are the choice of un-
bribed, unpurchased and indepen-
dent delegates, selected from their
townshipsIwithout setting up" or in
fluence from rings, who had promises
TO make good to ~partizan favorites
for party services rendered in the
past. We feel gratificd and pleased
over the result and the gentlemen
selected for the various positions
named, and are confident that the
people will endorse them at the ballot
box on the second Tuesday in Octo.
Der, by a triumphant election. All
of the gentlemen named as candi-
dates before the convention could not
be nominated, but there is the best
of satisfaction existing with the
selections made. Even Republicans
accord to the ticket praise, and many
of them will give it their support,
especially in the case of the Sheriff,
as their nominee is an old chronic
Office seeker of a life long standing.
We shall have more to say during
the campaign why our ticket should
be elected. The following is the
ticket:

Within a few weeks nearly all the

had their salaries advanced. Those
getting $500 were advanced to $1,000
those getting 81, 900 to 81, 200 and SO
on. The clerks were given to under
stand, however, that the advance of
500 or 5000 or whatever it might be,
was to be paid into the hands of the
republican committee as a corruption
fund. Thus it car easily be seen
