EVANSVILLE, July 1.-The ticket being an
uounced finally, choice can be made from
| the list of names which would do credit TO the
county, and could easily be elected. What
the chances are for such choice, the day af-
ter election can only tell Under any other
system than the Crawford, selection would
necessarily be made which would restore Har-
ford county to her place in the Democratic
ranks and secure us a list of officers OF which
all would be proud but, as under that sys
TEN, a large number of voters are apt to cast
their ballots for personal friends, without
considering capabiity, our standard may
again bear names which will lead to defeat.
1t is fortunate for the party that we now have
a chance of changing the manner of electing,
and it would be more fortunate if the Craw
ford County plan would be dispensed with.
