Immediately after the adjournment
the Central Committee met and organ

The convention was harmonious
throughout, there being no second bal
lot on any Office except that of CON-
missioner. The ticket that has been
nominated is strong and evenly bal
anced one and will b. elected from top
to bottom we have no doubt. Every
man on it is competent to fill the office
to which lie aspires. Indeed, with the
exception of Mr.. Gardner and Mr..
Henderson, every man has already
been tested and has proven himself
fully capable Of transacting the bust
ness of the Office for which he is can
didate. We do not know personally,
anything about the qualifications of
Mr.. Gardner, but we are assured by
those who are acquainted with him
that he is fully competent to take
charge of the Treasurer's books. Mr..
Henderson needs no commentator
from us. Everyone who knows him
knows that me is fully qualified to fill
any office In the county. He is sue.
cessful business man, shrewd, firm and
cautious, and will make model COM
missioner. AS the campaign progress
es we shall have more to say. For the
present we will merely add that THE
REGISTER is for the ticket, the whole
ticket and nothing but the ticket.
