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

ent, and let him sek
