THE democrats are assembled at
Sioux City this week in state conven-
tiOn. Horace Boies, of Waterloo, will
in all probability be nominated as he is
the only one Of the many mentioned in
that connection who has not peremp-
torily declined the empty honor. Boies
is renegade republican, whose degen-

ance legislation found in him a hearty
supporter, aud he has since acted with
that party, sacrificing all of the other
principles which formerly held him to
the grand old party. The de@oerats
are iR desperate circumstances when
compelled to give their highest honor
to such man. A free whisky plank
will undoubtedly be adopted, and the
bourbOns will all come home hurrahing
for CovingtOn and its chief traffic.

THE COUNTY TICKET.

The nominations made by the repub-
lican county convention were regarded
as the best, all things considered, that
could have been made. The ticket, as
a whole, was acknowledged to be a
strong one, being made up of represen-
aative men and uniting all portions of
the county in its interest. The renOmi-
nation of Hon. WR. Walker was ap
proved by thinking meR ~ both parties.
a resident of the county for ,a0re than
a tbird of century, always upright and
honorable, successful in private affairs,
he is an ideal representative of the cit
azenship of the county. During the
first term of his legislative career his
actions were dictated by sincere de-
sire to faithfully fulfill the wishes of
lhis constituents. The county treasury
under the management of man of such
sterling qualities as Mr.. I. ). Essington
MS known to possess will be safe. His
Bong residence in the county, successful
career and staunch republicanism,
make him an admirable nominee. The
county purse will be safe in his keeping.
The business qualifications of Mr.. Rees
made his nomination for auditor one of
striking propriety. A better man and
citizen e0nld not have been selected
The nominee for sheriff, Mr.. ii. b
Owen, is man of great heart and noble
impulses, with superior qualifications
for that office. In transaetiIg business
for the county he has proven himself
faithful, honest and conscientious. The
