PROCEEDINGS OF THE RErUnLrClv COUNTY
CONVENTION YESTERDAY.

It was an assemblage of good, intelligent
men that met in convention at the Court
House yesterday, to nominate Republi
can county ticket At least we have never
seen Democratic convention that rspre-
sented as much intelligence and loyalty.
The Republicans Of Highland county, stung
by defeat in the last county campaign as
we'll as the national campaign, are fully
awake to the situation, and are determined
70 let Democrats rule no longer. And
when the last shot is fred in the COMING
campaign, our Democratic friends will find
they are badly left. Through little core-
lessness and lack of energy on the part of
Republicans they allowed the offices to slim
out Of their hands. The lesson has been
effective and the Republicans of HIGHLAND
ought to and will turn out en- D,asss and
turn ''the rascals out" The "ofFepsivo
partisans" now in Office, and their allies
and constituents have been working hard
for months, ever since they were first
elected, and they will likely exert every
nerve to its utmost capacity of strength in
order to get back into Office again. But
the Republicans mean that it shall not be
so. This is a Republican county and Re-
publicans must gain the victory if thew
stick to the ticket. That they mean to do
this was fully demonstrated By the Conven-
ton yesterday. Almost everyone of the
seventy-eight delegates were present and
the zeal with which they went to worl,
foreshadows a victorious result this fall.
