It is because Garfield is thus not a
strong candidate, and will doubtless
become a weak one tliat public inter
est centres at Cincinnati. The Con
veulion there is to decide whether or
not the Presidential race ia to be be
tween two menofunsavory reputation,
or between one of that kind and an*
other whose name has never been con
nected with anything dishonorable. If
the former, the people will probably
stay at home on both sides, in a way
to astonish the politicians. If the lat*
ter, those uncounted thousands who
stay with the Radical party because,
ou the whole, they think it has been a
decent party, and those other thou*

and vote the Democratic ticket.

datiou iu many instances), licit our
Democratic Nominating Conventions
—Federal Stale, Congressional and
oounty—have been engineered by
rings and cliques, and that the nomi
nees often obtain their no mications
by canvassing and the us i ot mc ney,
and combinations with others upon
the basis of ‘you tickle me, I’ll tickle
you,’ thus defeating a fair anil patri
otic expression of the public n il! and
estranging many good citizens from
our conventions and driving others
into opposition. To the end, there
fore, that these abuses, wherever they
may exist, may be remedied and the
integrity ol the Democratic parly pre
served and the people have good offi
cers and good government, we make
tho following enunciation, viz :
Resolved) 1. Tliat, we hold and so
advise the Democracy of the 9th Con
gressional District, that wheu a
citizen is fairly nominated for office,
by his party, he becomes tlu#-by the
representative of his. party, and that
it is his duty to use all honorable
(none other) means to secure his elec,
tion.
Resolved, 2. Tliat, we heji tfust a
person who seeks to obtain a
nomination by the u«c 0 f
the despicable means enunxeratec
above, if known beforehand, ough: c
not to bo nominated, and, if nomina
ted—whether the practice of such
means is developed before or afler hu
nomination—he ought not to be elect*
ed to office, and his nomination thus
brought about does not hind any citi-
aen who ratty have voted in the nom
ination or other citizen to votu for
such nominee at the election and hu
need not do so, except as u choice of
evils.
Resolved. 3. That, we hold, that
