A spLHnDID TICKET.

The democrats OF Lenlnl COUNTY
are to be congratulated upon the ex-
cellent ticket nominated by their con-
vention. The candidates are TO be
cong ratulated for being considered
worthy to represent such a splendid
organization OF the representative
citizens OF this county. There are
twice as many democrats In the
county who failed to reach the goal
Of their ambition as there were who
were placed In nomination. 1t Is no
discredit to those who were defeated
for they no doubt are just as worthy
as those who we're successful, but all
men are not equally gifted In those
requirements that go to make up a
successful candidate.
Some men are gifted In one direc
ton and some another. Some men
have a strong personal magnetism
which makes them good campaigners
while other men, not equally en-
dowed In this particular, yet by spe.
ciai requirements and adaptability
are better fitted to serve the public.
All delegates to that convention
seemed to be actuated with the single
Idea that oil personal feelings and
regard for friends should be laid
aside and the strongest men placed In
nomination. The men who were de-
feated are TO be congratulated for the
manner In which they took their de-
feat. The Recorder does not believe
there Is single defeated candidate
who will not get out on the hastings
and do bis utmost to elect the man
who was his opponent In the conven-
tlon. We have too much faith In
their deep seated democracy TO think
otherwise. The convention was an
open and fair gathering OF the demo
Gratis OF the county, who had been
entrusted with the selection Of can
dldates for the various offices, and
they performed their duties well.
There were many candidates In
the laid for the various offices, and
II ought to be Of some u oment to the
voters Of this county to realize that
the ticket the democratic party
placed In the Held Is not ticket
which was selected prior to the con
veution. The work OF the conven
ton was untrammeled and no clique
dictated whom the nominees SHOULD
he. The convention was obliged tt

same reason which caused the oppo

Compare the ticket with the ticket

nominated should bring to the tickle,
sufficient vote to elect them beyonC

the ticket will meet with the ap
