THE COUNTY TICKET.

We give elsew here the result of the
democratic primary held on last Sat
urday, and present to Our fellow-dem-
Ocrals tor their suffrages and assistance
the ticket then selected. The names
are those of tried and true democrats,
gentlemen of ability, honesty and char
acter, who will well and faithfully
serve the public In the offices to which
they are called. Over a few Of the
positions the contest was warn and
earnest, and the result a matter OF
doubt up to the time of the official
count, but outside of a feeling of dis
appointment which always attends
such close races, there Ia no other trace
of the "smoke of BATTLE" and the de.
fested will accept the result with good
humor and congratulations to those
who were fortunately successful. For
these contested positions the winners
are all new men as to Office but are
covered with the honors of a long and
faithful service In the ranks of the par
ty, and are all the more entitled to the
full fruits OF their hard Vol victory.
No true man covets or envies honors
fairly won by honest competition, but
will throw up his hat tor the winner
Just as he would have expected the
winner to have shouted for him had
the result been different.
Let us all then join in and make their
victory not only n of which the can
didate but n of which the party will
be proud, by the size of our majorities.
We are on the eve of our greatest bat
tie; one that will decide whether we
are to continue the grand results of
the victory of 'S4, or surrender the
government back to our republican
toes. At such a time il Ia the duty of
every patriot TO do his individual part
to the fullest. Talk up our ticket, local
and national; our principles; our plat
form; try and convince, by fair argu-
ment, your opposing neighbor; go to
the polls and induce your friends 10
60, aud above all. vote the ticket from
top to bottom, and then all will be
well. Our prospects are brighter than
at the beginning of the campaign of "a,
and we should bring forth ven great
Ell results.

Of Hesse Cassell, are by no means among the
greatest monarchs; hut they occupy the very
honorable position of being the parents Of

grandparents of at least three lines Of kings

the mother was herself only duchess by
birth, and became queen by sort of acci-
dent.

and there are no Nhilists in Denmark. The
king and queen occupy their places by the
force of a curious combinaton-a revolution,
