Good Work Done and u Good Ticket Nom-
mated.
The County Convention yesterday
nominated most excellent county
ticket, one that could not be bettered In
all particulars and appointments.
JUDGE MEYER, for Probate Judge, OF
course had no opposition for reelection,
and his nomination was cordial and
hearty.
JOHN G. WELTY, for Prosecuting At
tOrney, had no antagOnism, and also re-
ceiyed the nomination with cheerful
md henrty good will,
JACoD scHMAcHTENDERdE was nom
inaled for County Commissioner after a
couple OF ballots or 10 over two good
men who had warm illenda In the con-
vention. All ARE we'll pleased with Mr.,
schmachtenberger'a nomination, for II
Is emInently worthy and proper.
LEWIS EssIG, for lnlrmary Director,
is an acceptable nomination. All who
know Mr. Rssig will admit his fitness
for the place.
Dir, LRlNlNGER, for Coroner IL very
suitable nomination, The Doctor has
been serving In that capacity promptly
and acceptably.
Let our friends bear In mind that this
ticket should be endorsed At the October
election, that being the important time,
the tine when support elleCtually
counts, The gentlemen nominated are
well known citizens who have llyod
lOng In Stark county and are well
Identified with our honest Interests,
May they live long ana prosper, and be
triumphantly elected next October aud
be followed by Samuel j. Tilden In
November,
The convention had other work to do
and some OF II was well done. II was
we'll TO endorse Tllden aud Hendricks,
and exceedingly proper TO instruct for
William A, Lynch az delegate to
Chicago,
We refer our readers TO the full report
OF the convention IN another part OF
this paper, Lack OF space prevents ex,
tended comment here. In the Ashland
Democratic county convention last
week they dispensed with the usual
packing committee, and after announc
ing gentlemen for delegatesIto the State
convention the hal was passed and each
delegate voted n ballot with eight names
on, that being the number Ashland IL
entitled TO.
Ills proper to say that there Is no con.
test, to speak Of, In our State conven.
ton, The State positions will be all
probably denominations; and tho work
at the National convention 10 already
pretty well settled. There will be no
such fight as there was In tho Republi-
can affair. In fact, the outlook for the
Democracy is quite encouraging.

Ar Chicago, Friday, Col. Mcclure, Of
the Philadelphia Times, said; The nom
lnation Of Blaine means the organized
Reorganization Of the Republican party,
and that the result will be effected this
year, and that the disorgOnization and
disintegratlon begins to-day, Col, Nc
Clure adds that Blaine IL the only man
who ever organized disOrganlzatlon In
the Republican party, aud that he IL o
IL lender for the movement inaugurated
to-day, Ho predicts the Blaine boom
will start with fearful dash, but that
II will collapse long before the election,
The campaign, no thlnke, will start
with more enthusiasm than any eince
that Of 1874, butin the end, Blaine, who
Ia the Clay OF the Republican party,
will share the same fate with his mag
netic prototype.

the REVOLT AGAINST BLAINE,

The revolt against Blaine 10 assum'
In formidable proportions. Mr.. Blaine's
friends are warm, but HIS enemies are
bitter. Whether this aversion 10 him
will die away before November, az 1t
usually does, Ia question. II II doea
not then he cannot expect to get the full
support Of the party whose candidate he
Ia. From Boston comes the news that
the reform club, composed OF such men
as Charles II. Adams, James Freeman
Clarke, John s. Fallon, Bancroft Davis,
Richard Henry Dana, John O. Dodge,
and others, has openly decered a revolt,
although q vast majority of the mem
bers are aud always have been ardent
Republicans, The club, after discussion,
passed the following resolutions "fhe

members Of the club will under no cir

also took steps to aid the Democrats In

A. l.. JONES, esq, OF ALLIANCE.

The friends Of A. L. Jones, Esq, Of
Alliance, will probably present his
name 10 tho judicial convention for this
circuit as u candidate for one Of the
three judicial positions. Three years
ago MIR. Jones was our candidate for
Common pleas Judge In this district,
but Of course was not elected as the dis
trict is Republican by two thousand or
80. Mr., Jones made good run, how.
ever, although no special effort was
made, knowing II would be useless.
This circuit is composed OF fifteen coun-
ties, with o good Democratic majority.
