MR. EDIToR-It has been always held
that one good reason for action is as good
as a thousand and in effect if one has a
good reason to influence and guide him.
that it is quite sufficient. Now averting
| to the position assumed by the SUM- in its
attacks upon the nominations made by the
| late State convention. Complete answer
| is made by SINH Pile statement of fact, and
| in SO doing, that one good reason for 10y
al party action is supplied Ina word, the
very weakest. of all the many inducements
given by that journal, for democratic re-
volt, against the State ticket lies in the an
nouncement by that paper, that there is
really no democratic ticket in the field.
80 bold is this proposition, that labored
editorials arc constantly produced, to for
tify if possible, so untenable position.
Who is it that can believe or for one mo-
ment tolerate statement so completely
unsupported by fact? We have Il demo-
cratic State ticket, nominated by a regular
convention, called together according to
the laws and usages Of party methods, that
are as old as the party organization. But
the Sun would have it, that Messrs. Cor
man and Rasin made the nominations and
hence all democrats can be at once par
dOned for hostility to these enemies. In
a word the Sun has become Il party organ
for the Republicans, and to-day is more
glee1ullv READ by members OF That party
than their own heretofore organ, the Amer
lcah: NOW the primaries tnat proceeded
the state convention were held all over
the State, and were hotly contested Dele
gates were selected by these primaries. and
they met in convention. That their action
did not conform to the nice views of the
Sun and other male contents, was not owing
10 any lack OF ef1ort on thelr part, because
they qua thelr pest IN the PRIMARIES ana
were ueleatcu Inc convention "o"iu
not register thelf VIII ana hence tne OUT
cry NOW the WORD passes along inc Inc
down Win the duai uespotlslh, Oh Uof-
man and kasln These are good words,
they are nigh sounding Words, anu are cal
culated to catch the popular ear DO they
tit the case? From the position taken oy
the Sun, they scarcely do SO, because they
are in the verv teeth of the action, of
regularly authorized, representative body
of men, sent from the people to speak in
their behalf That convention did speak,
and it will not do to make the gratultOuS
statement that two men controlled and
shaped its course. Where is the proof:
1t cannot be offered. But after all the Sun
seems to take the most offenSe because in
| the nomination of Mr.. Hurst the question
of law for the re assessment of the prop
erty of the State is made somewhat doubt
full. Did this paper really wish the nomi
nation of either Mr.. Hayes or Mr.. Jones.
Was not the Sun one of the bittercst OPP
ponents that the Hayes bill mad, in the en-
tire State, and did not the Sun cOntributs
more to its defeat than any other power?'
These are well known facts, and still it
poses as the friend OF the people in the ad-
vocacv OF an assessment law. we nave
no doubt that the Sun ana those who are
in touch with its sentiments would have
been appeased, could they have taken the
