We sinserely hope that thero will lie wisdom enough iu the leaders and patriotism suflieiont in tlie party to make tlie occasion of the democratic party to power the begining of a glorious and long continued day. Wo congratulate our agricultural fel low citizens upon the evidence that ex- ists of solid and successful progress among them. In many sections we And new and improved implements of inis- imndrv, and their system of agriculture is obutlnoted according to Hie highest ascertained rules of tho art. To our fellow citizens generally we say that although there is great stringency in money matters and many indications of a financial crisis, yet wo believe that by patient industry and rigid economy we shall pass through successfully with our condition improved uud our expe rience greatly enlarged. We are sorry to he forced to say that there is an increase of disorder and law lessness nnd crime in our county, and we believe tlio r< medy is a strung nn<i rigid enforcement of tlio law. This body views with deep concern the dire evils grow ing out of the retail of ardent spirtts. Prominent among these evils is tlie demoralization of the labor sys tem causing a waste of time in lining, ing around bur-rooms and street cor ners indulging in habits (lint lend to vagrancy and ruin. The debauchery of the ballot-box by venality that draws its life-blood from His retail shop is an alarming evil that should .awaken the deepest anxiety iu every patriot. Tho concurrent testimony of so many judicial officers and the records of tlm courts, us well as our own observation that by far Hie lnigoBt proportion of the criminal eases of the country have their origin in the dram simp and that a not able abatement of these eases always follows tlie prohibition of bar-rooms in spires tlie hope that an early day the retail truffle, tho burners to our prog, le-s, tlie hotbed of vice,tlie snare spread for tlie youth nf our laud will no longer have the sanation of law iu onr county.

A f.cr having familiarized myself during (lie first two months with tlie financial af fairs of die county; I suggested to die Hon, (Iran I .1 ury of tlie Mareli Term 1881, a rec- omcuilntii n in their presentments, a reduc tion often cents uii the county Tux. dial is from KOto 70 rente for that year, which re alized $t'.),)■ 88 00 wherewith the 1 ObT indebt edness was canceled, as well as tlie current expenses of that year pnid, leaving a sur plus in the Treasury on thu 1st of March, 1882 of $2,256,00.
