The Democratic Stale CenvenlloB Thit body met at Jcfforton City lust Wednesday, and wo aro infortucd by our ocunty delegates ibat it wat ono of tbo tooit dignified and Intelligent bodies that has met in ilisouri for years. The Liberal Republican convention mbt at the tame place and time. The policy of tha state has been a fuiion of these two political sUmcnta, and Bhortly after the organization of tbo conventions, a com mittee of conference was appointed by ach, who met and agreed upon tho ful lowing plan of nomination : The cammitteo of conference appointed 'to meet the committee of conference ap pointed by tbo Liberal Republican con vention bog leave to report that tiioy hr agreed irli tha Ltbttul ilopublioaa conferenoe committee upon the following arrangement for tho electoral J ticket : One of the electors of the statu at largo to be selected from tho Democratic con vention , the elector so selected to hold the first place on tho tieket. tho other elector of the itato at largo to bo selected by tho Republican convention. Tiio distridt elector for the First, Third, t ilth, Sixth, iVinib, Tenth and Twelfth distriets, to be seloctcd by the Liberal Republican convention ; the electors for tho other districts of tho stato to bo seleeted from tbo Democratic convention. It is further agreed that tbo alternate elcetort) in the" districts for which the Domoorats select electors, filial! be to leeted by tho Liberal Republican con vention. Your coiutuittuu beg leave further to report that, upon full consul tation, it wan resolved to givo the Liberal Republican ibo offices of lieutenant-governor, secretary of state and regi.ter of lands on tbo state ticket. This report Was auiunded by tbo adoption of tho I'ol lowing : "ltosolved that tho Democratic conven tion tender to tbo Liberal convention one of the offices of the supremo judge of the state." Tho following liokot was nominated Uovornor Silus Woodson of Uuch anan. Lt. Governor V. E. Giltnore of urtene. Treasurer II. V. Salmon of Henry. Secretary of Stato Eugene Weigel. Auditor Geo. It.

Ilutt of this pluce nominated for Secrotary of oiate, out owing to the fusion of tbo two conventions our hope was blasted. Col Ilutt has, however, been an advocate of this policy, and returns well satisfied with the turn offairs havo taken. Had this ofiite been placed at tho disposal of me yemocratio wing of the double con vention, he would certainly havo been m. the ticket, for ho had tho assurance of roauy of the most prominent delegates of this fact. I5ut open, frank and houor able in his aspirations, ho will bu r.,nn,l zealous, firm and cheerful in the support oi i no ticket. On account or our .limited spaco this woek, wo have not placed the ticket at the head of our columns, but hereafter it will be found there, and the Herald will battle for its final success. The New York Day-Hook says : We ield no priuoiplo in helping to destroy this Grant despotism by aiding the oleo tion of the only man to day in all thin country who shows a support strong dnough to drivo the military autocrat from tho White House. Horace Greeley is honest and humane, with heart and head fufl of sympathy for tho stricken ftouiii. uo says he will relieve her pco ..I- r .!.! .... . ... ' yv Hum uicir lerrioie nurdens, We put this on record. He hue been our political auiagouist; wo havo been his. Hut lloraco Greeley keeps hit ward. Monit "KKKoitM'-Mr. Geo. W ate. an assistunt book keeper of the national houso of representatives, and a thoroughly honest and cllieient man, has just been dismissed from office, bocauke though gn afdont and uncompromising Republican, he declines to "support Grant." How about tho civil service reform which Grant and his friends claim o lovo with euoh panimiuto affection? Can any thing or any body bo reformed unloss thai tiling- oi body "supports Grant?" Wo jstiould rather think not. Republican. , I'oiiHly Treasurer.. In doaling with candidates for county offices, our rule is to apeak of their public, political and official actions, rather than of those that affect and belong to their private or personal career. o wish to prejudice no ono against llieni as cilicens and therefore pass by in silenco tho reports concerning their relations with individuals: but when a man presents his claims beforo tho people for office, wo hold that his adhcrenco to the political party of which ho asks to bo honored should bo without reproach, and that his oincial integrity, if ho has ever held office, should be pure and void of any violation of law, or attempt to take advantage of bis position for tho furtherance of mdi vidua! interest. So while wo are vio lently opposed to tho nomination of Elias Norton by tho Democrats of Lin coin county as a candidate for Treasurer we will not depart from this rulo in giv ing what wo hold to bo good reasons why he should not receive that nomination. Wo have beforo mentioned two acts ol his whila Sheriff to show that ho is not tho proper mm for tbo people to elect, ono of which was his buying of county warrant for fois than thairfuco. in viola tion of law, but the circumstances of that caso we did not give. A pauper named Crouch was on tho county. 11c diod, but his death was not reported to the Court, aod that body continued to issuo warrants tor his Kupport. His brother, in whoso name tho warrants wero issued, nftcr the death of tho pauper of courso never called for them, and would have had no right to thorn had ho done so. Mr Norton, be ing ou officer of tho county, and seoing tho warrants in the Clerk e office, which had accumulated to the amount of about S100, went to Mr. Crouch- knowing of his brother's death, and if ho did not probably learned it from him and of fercd 820 for tho warrants, which Ciouch concluded to take. In the first place Crouch had no right to sell the warrauts, for thoy .did not belong to hiiu, haviug been issued under false impression. Tbo duty of Mr. Norton in tho premises was plain. As au officer of the county, and as a duty ho owed the peoplo who bad honored him with an election, he .-hould have notified tho Court of tho death of tho pauper ho that tho warrants could have been cancelled ; but no, he thought he had a better thing, and would got this $100 that properly bi'lmisrcd to tho county for his own use, n bought thorn for tho $20, It was an attempt to take 8100 out of tho County Treasury that belonged neither to Crouch or him, but to tbu people. Fortunately, how ever, the Court heard of tho death of tho pauper before Mr. Norton had an oppor tuuity to present Ibo warrants to the Treasurer, and cancelled them. A f-uit was mbsequoutly brought by Mr. Norton to obtain judgment against tbo county for tbo amount, but of courso it failed. his attorney refusing to push tho suit after hoaring of the circumstances. Tho other charge wo mado auainst him wos merely tho publication of an order of Citation of the Court after Mr. Norton's term of office expired, compelling him to appear beforo that tribunal and bIiow causu why he had not mado a settlement as required by law on going out of office and paid over the county money which ho had collected aud still remained in his possession. No wonder ho hold raalico against tho "court houso ring," Tho people are the best judges whether, after these truthful and well sustained charges, ho is the man to elect as tho keoper of the public money. Now wo proposo to deal with his polit eal actions during tho campaign of 1870 llo claims, and wo bolievo has alwavs claimed, to bo a Democrat; but after his recognized party had met in convention and placed a county ticket in tho field Elias Norton cume out as an indopen-1 ont candidato for Treasurer. For this action he has rolicved every Democratic voter of the obligation to support him as a Democrat, now that ho comes out again for tho same offieo, and asks for tho nom inatiou. In 1870 ho run against tho nominoe of bis party ; in 1872 ho wants to bo the nominee: And we hero pro pose to giro ono of the means by which ho attempted to defeat tho nominee at that time, Mr. Jas. K. Cannon, in whioh it will bo observed that ho attomptod to violate anothor law. J unt beforo tbo election in 1870. Mr Norton camo to us and asked us to print a number of tho regular Domocratio tiokots for his own use, oxcopt that ho wanted tho name of Mr. Jas. K. Cannon tokon ofT and his own placed in its stead. Wo fronkly told him wo could not do it; that it would bo unfair, anil that some who intended to vote for Mr. Cannon might get hold of and deposit one of his tickets without noticing tho ohango. Mr. Norton became very ancrv. and sav. ing that he would havo thorn nrinted in St. Louii, Wheeled urottnil nmt Inf. ... It will bo observed hero that ho not only run against tho nomineo of his own party or tho party he claimed to bo idontiCcd with but undertook nn u ml n a udtautago of Mr. i'aMuoii. It didn't win, howevur, and Mr. Cannon has mado us au excellent Treasurer. As this trick may bo attempted again for it is attempted at every 'election wo will quote, for tho benefit of those candidates and t'icir zcalouto supporters who may ho ignorant of tbo law relatin to such matters, scetions twenty-eight and twenty nine, article six, of tho law relating,, to crime and punishments, which may bo found on page 480 of the Grst volumo of Wagner's Missouri statutes : SEC. 28.
