Should not be couveued by the County

First, ft ts important that every can

fore the people shoulil;have as much
time as possible in wbleh to do so, In or
der thttt biomerits and Jitneas uiay be
thoroughly canvassed.
ttetond, That, being announced, the
vlows of candidates' may be known on
suoh questions as may be of moment to
the people, and thus In voting' for them
the convention will act Intelligently and
knowingly.'
Third, I?y that tlmo there tvlll besuch
a development In the National and State
campaign us to require the pooplo to look
well to the adaptability of candidates, es
pecially members o( tho General Assem

Fourth, Because It will have every ap

and will give rise to no possible com

These are tho views of Tun Gazkttk,

low rfto Bpaeo for onoe to use your ' useful
columns In speaking to my bemotirat friends
and noighbors in this, the eastern, portion
of the ceunly. While I am not eoeking
offloo,/t?t nou>, for any particular man, it
nay bo shows that wo who live in this seo
tlon of the County nro always too silent
upop tbo subjcot of politics, or are too
baokward in putting forth our olaims, and
consequently we (.being obout oue-third of
the County) have to go and be satisfied
with pne otlioor, and some timed nothing
more than a County Commissioner, while
we naturally and rightfully are entitled to
at loast tbroo. Wo have tho men for tho
positions?good mon, too. ,
Who will deuy the faot, and say that wo
oan't furnish one good man (as wo have
done) for the Legislature and one for Clerk
of Court' and one for County Commissioner,
or for ftny Other offioe? We have the Tory
men for the positions named, and only need
to beoome moro united within ourselves lb
carry our points in the oonvention. Wo
have been heretofore too Indifferent. The
?everal'olubs in this part of tho.oounty have
always voted .at random?each club voting
for its own man, or with Bome otber (may
be the Western) portion of tho County, and
yet growl because we havo no showing Iji
the Con yon ti on; and the fault is so plain
that.tbqrq is no room for complaint.
^propose that we have unity at home,
unity In tho clubs, and unity in the con
vention. Then, nothing more w}U be neo
ossary but-to name out men. We olaim no
majority, but ktVo,w that our strength would
bo sought uftof, which would give us as
sistance from elsewhere and enablo us to
oontrul at least our interests in th? conven

TheLlbcrtles of tho People Endangered*
In Republican governments the political
power fs vested in the people,7 and this
po^er Is oxerqisod by them through the
ballot; and through this instrumentality
thoy delognto authority to individuals to
enaot laws for the protection of their per
sons and property. This delegatod author
ity is strlotly guar clod -by Constitutional
rostrlotlons and limitations. Tho Outside
prouure of a hostile National Administra
tion, Which for party purposes enfranchised
tho negro and Injuotea the raoe issue into
politioal elootions in tho South, hu oausod
tho development of new methods of dele
gating power whioh are not guarded by
such restrictions and limitations. Political
oonventions are now tho real depositories
6f politioal power, and ijaldsa they are jpc
Htrloted in Ujo exeroiso of suph powers,
they will oaUae tho peoplo to pry out In tho
langurxgo of Andriw JaokBon?,4J)y (ho

,, Our gtala Convention has dared to In
vade tho prerogative of the eleutots, not
only without delegated authority but in' de->
flanoe of the will of a majority of the! heo*
pie tie expressed in their County Conven:
tlon. Tho State Executive Comtaltloo had
no right to authorise the Convention to nom
inate State offloers. ' And, if suoh right hfcd
boen delegated by the peoplo, it was re
voked" by instructions to their delegates
given at the County Conventions. The ex*
eroise bf rights by the Bute Convention not
delegated to thetn by the pooplo is a serious
menace to the right* arid immunities*'of tho
(Alliens, and the acqulesoenoe of the peo
ple Is an evldenoe that suoh usurpation is
becoming f\miliar and is more the rule than
Jhe exception. This apathy on the.patt of
jhe elfotor fo^bodes danger to our institu
Hons", and indicates on the part Qf the peo
ple a hopelessness of the suOoestiul reals
tanoo to maehiae rule In1 polities andkeloo
lions now being inaugurated. The ques
tion of Jurisdiction (or deoldiog the right
of the Convention to make nominations)
could not properly bo deolded by the oor\
'fentloa. The only quostlon they oonld en
tertaln (rh to their Jurisdiction) would be
the question of whether or not the authori
ty to nominate Bute offloers had been dele
gated to them by tho people. This ques
tlon.WM dlscuised. and Jurisdiction was
esjMnifd without any oltf ft to delegated au
thority; and ih* only issuo Joined by tbo
Advooates and opposets, of exerolslbg the
right to nominate, was etpedlenoy. The
people had deoided even that question b*.
fore the Oonvention mot, oe is evidenced
by their Inltcuotlng their delegates to op
pose Juno nominations.
Our Couuty Convention exeroised iU del
egated authority fa deciding the question
of the mode of making nomination for Coun
ty offloers} and, le it strttige that the Con
vention doolded Inltsnwn favor, and against
the direct participation of dhosiog County
offloers. The Convention did not eubmit
the question to the people?they decided It
Without consulting the people, and in their
ttgUanoe is the prion
of Wbortv,j aud If It le net exerolsed by

places H |ms sprouUd lu tho shook, and in

of the ?cop, howover, was gathorod In fine
