A number t t our political ixt

agiiast the
practice of cand
dates traveling the Coun-
ties to which they
beiong. to electioneer
for county nominations, lnerc is no dis
guising the fact that the praet.ee has be
come a great naisaLCe and ana .yanee to a
large portion of our c.tiz.'LS who do not,
J well as those who usual.y d , take part
ia delegate elections and noaiinating Con
ventions. If it cjuid be done away with,
Bach time and money would be saved by
the candidates, and in the end their chan
ces for the nomination wouid be as good,
St least, as under the present system. It
might be well for ail who propose solicit

prominent Democrats aud Republicans,

The latter asked the former what he saw

It was about twelve o'clock, the next

He was ushered into the drawing-room,
