also be permitted TO say that II Judge Wylies in

TDDAy,S CONVENTION.

The unanimity with which M. HANDLAS
was selected by Saturdays primaries as the
Democratic nominee for sheriff is conclusive
that Mr.. H,NDLAN will make a strong can.
didste. OF course the delegates in cOnven-
ton to-day will make his nomination by &C
clamation in obedience to the voice Of Ohio
county Democrats, and he will be elected
hv the people in October
- While the primaries settled the sheriff
atty contest the nominations for the other
county offices were not determined This
caves a weighty responsibility on the shout
dcrs of the convention to-day. There being
but single candidates for the nominations
respectively, for the clerkshlp Of the County
and Circuit Courts, there is no complication
IN that direction. HANDIAN Tor Sherf,
MITCHELL for Clerk of the Circuit Court
and HOOK for Clerk of the County Court
makes a very strong ticket so far as It goes.
Il now devolyes upon the convention to
make the balance of the ticket equally
,,rong. IL has been urged that the
limitations tor House of Delegates
,aould not be made by this Convention. In
,uppOrt OF this view it has been argued tha,
,ar interest in the primary election on Sat
.r,lay centred exclusively on the Sheritaltry
,1n,cst. and that delegates were elected
.ulely with view to that and without any
-urcial feeling in relation to the other uOml-
,ariols. While there Is a degree ut truth
md force in this presentation of the case, 1t
must be conceded on the other side that the
all Of the Executive Committee provided
for the nomination Of full county ticket
and the delegates when assembled in con-
lentiOn have the power 10 make a complete
nominatons and will be apt to exercise II.
md unless some special and urgent reason
-houlr he sui. ittp,l .J the Convention why
f, -n,,. pnstryue other nominations, We
.rc 10, I'd ,u tue opinion that 1t is the
..:y 81 10. VS. Convention to nominate
muuckr, And from the character OF the
--rt,rul,u % elected rs delegates we feel sure
.at the work will be well and wisely done.
The Democracy Of Ohio county expect
'.,ie, al the hands of the Convention that
all. ensure victory, and we know their hopes
a.,. not be disappointed.
