The Work of the Convention.

We shall repress any disposition
to grow enthusiastic over the action
of Tuesdays convention, because
we do not wish to be charged With
Incorporate zeal in its endorsement.
1t may be that tie convention might
have done better, but we are frank
to express our doubt OF our own
abilities to have improved it ii we
had been the convention. OF course,
in general effort 10 represent the
party so manifest and irrepressible
as was that of Tuesday, some must
be pleased and others dispieased,
simply because some must be taken
and others must be left The party
! has not been overburdened in recent
years with a supply ol candidates
for empty honors. Republicans are
human, after all. They are patriotic
as most folks ere, but they do not
generally appreciate the duty ct set
ling themselves up to be knocked
down. Hence the situation that has
so often confronted the sentinels on
the outpost in times pas. There
was plenty of ammunition to fire and
plenty of marks to fire it at The
trouble was that the marks generally
got the first shot and the sentinels
had only vague consciousness of
unappreciated martyrdom That the
times have nightly charged in this
regard was never more manifest than
on Tuesday. There was no hanging
back, no faltering on the morn OF
battle, no demoralizing apprehension
of results this time. Every soldier
felt that he was man and warrior,
with work ready to be done and
valorous courage to 60 it. There
was no apprehension OF empty valor
or Pyrrhic victories. Every soldier
ielt that victory was in the air, and
he felt a human desire to have a
commission in the battle array. That
the convention was able to complete
its work of selection without angry
friction and without decentralization to
the rank and file who had to be lett,
is tribute not less to the patriotic
fervor of the candidates for honors,
than to the prudence and foresight
with which the choices were made.
The ticket is live one, a competent
one and a promising one. 1t ill
command, as it ought to, every Re-
publican vote in the county, and, if
it does not attract votes from the
other side in quantities sufficient to
rebuke the desperate proneness OF
those who recently ian the Demo-
cratic convention as if with purpose
to compass the ruin of the Demo
cratic party, there is surely nothing
in signs or symbols; nothing in re
sentiment of the true spirit of vindi
cation. Let US all work together for
the success of the cause as if every
man had secured just what he most
desired, and there will be an end of
Democratic domination, with all its
fostering fruits, in Cecil, after the
November reckoning.
