The County Convention.

The democratic county convention
which assembled here on Tuesday
was one of the largest and most har.
monious that has met since the war.
Every precinct was fully represented
by delegates, and the court room was
filed with spectators. The ticket
put forth is in every respect good
one. The Senator and Representa-.
tivcs are men who will Oil the POSI-
ton in the most acceptable manner
rejecting credit upon themselves and
their constituents. There was a
good deal Of speculation US to how
he convention would deal with the
whiskey question, but happily that
question was not agitatcd and the
prohibitionists and anti-prohibition-
lists worked tremendously together
to put forward a good ticket, and
that they have done. The delegates
to the State convention ere represent
tative men and will cast their votes
for such candidates rs they believe
to be the choice of Copiah county.
