Though a r.IIi)urlan" TXny Catch mi. liriT.Trmri 1L POINTEKS. rhe iolitienl campaign in this coun A ty will be opened to morrow at the democratic primaries. It is the inten tion of Tin: Scorr, under the above caption, each week, from now until af ter the June election, to make a note of certain phases of tho contest which we foresee will bo developed as time advance?. The style of campaigning which shall receive our attention here, has been a prominent feature in past contests, and promises to be resorted to in this with more than ordinary ac rimony. The arraignment and ex pose of the methods of a certain class of political tricksters can only be ac complished in this way. The voice of sober reasoning and appeals for a purer state of affairs would V 1,1 !""UKH wolu" ' thrown away upon inese hcii-consuuueu standard-bearers and I old stand-byes of the an oi.dstanihiy I parties, who with ca I pacious paws extended ready to grab j anything in the way of a public office, would make the people believe that their giant intellects and adamantine cheek are indispensable to the success of their party, and the country gener ally. It is not our intention to discuss any man's domestic affairs, or attack his private character, butif he is a pub lie official, or enters tho ring as a can didate, we shall overhaul his record, and discuss his fitness for the office he aspires to, in plain and truthful lan guage, The main topic which has interested the public during tho past week is the friend ly contest, which it is apparent will take place in the coining convention, in mak ing the nominations for the various offices. A I'ltlK.VDI.Y CON TKST. There should bo no contest of this kind, and would not be, were tho sehemertt and chronic office-seekers rel egated to a backseat. But. where they are permitted to lead, nothing else may bo expected. As a matter of natural instinct the law of self-preservation is tho first law of man's nature; and following directly upon this law, comes the love of self-agrandisement with such strong force that, in political mat ters, when accompanied by a strong hankering after official glory, that .self agrandisement becomes the major law, and the first becomes its adjunct to further his political aspirations, and he leaves nothing undone that will tend to accomplish tho desired end. His friends are importuned to assist him in getting things in shape so that there will bono trouble in obtaining a firm hold on the convention, that he may thus secure tho A rm.M iioi.d. coveted nomination. As we have said before, we believe in giving duo recognition and' reward for faithful and intelligent service, and a back seat and obscurity to tho incom petent. To that end our efforts will be directed in the coming campaign. In county affairs, at least, party-allegiance should not prevent the election of tho best men. It is to be hoped that ev ery democrat in the county that can possibly do so, will attend the prima ries to-morrow and see to it that good and substantial men are sent as delegates to the convention. When tho ticket is presented, which if re ports be truo from La Grande, Summerville, TIIK TICKKT. Union and other pre cincts, arc already prepared for you, sit down on them and put a flee in tho auricular oiilice of tho seheemer.s and demagogues that will be a constant reminder to them that it is not profita ble to monkey with the peoplo too much, and that they havo intelligence enough to select their own delegates After the nominations of both par ties have been made wo shall turn loose our mastiff that is chained up at pres ent, and let him sek whom ho may devour lie will in all proba OHAIXKI) UT, bility find enough to test his teeth upon, and will run tho risk of getting laid out in an unceremonious manner. Wo do not think, however, that this is likely to occur, but if it does, wo shall "heal iTXCKKKMO.vi- up his war-battered bo ors, dy, and build him battle onco more," by anointing for his limbs with Mexican Mustang Liniment, when ho will bo sent forth again with a fearless anil terrific front, somewhat in the manner depicted TKititinr nto.ST. by our special artist in tho accompanying steel engraving.
