Bad Memory of County Convention.

The Democratic county convention, held
Tuesday, is not even to be a nine-days'
wonder So little interest is the Democracy
taking in state and local affairs this year
that it forgot about the county event al
most by the time it was over. 1t is looked
upon by many as a sort of farce. From
the opening of the convention to the close
there was quarreling and disagreements
among many of the delegates. The clerks
were charged with failure to keep tally
on the voting. and altogether the event
was one hardly to be taken seriously. 1t
is matter of comment that the reason
so few men could be found seeking the
nominations is because they did not care
to sink their finances in what they feared
would be a losing campaign.
