At a iiioctimr of the Executive com mittee of the Democratic! party hold iu Halifax, on the l!iih inst., it was ordered that Thursday, the 112th day ot Jlny, 1832, bo appointed as tie ilito of the Township couvcnti.ms, and Monday, the.

Now, by virtue of the authority vested iu me as charmaii of said committee, I here by call said coiiiciiu jus for the dates above named. The Democrats of the county are here by notified and rci)uc.-ted to meet at their respective polling places iu the township of their residence on the date above named for holding tho Township conventions for the purpose of selecting delegates to the said county convention.

Some of the papers anxious for the nomination of Mr. Cleveland are claiming that he already has 737 of the 0 00 dele gates composing tho national convention and that therefore his nomination is as sured without the consent of New York We have not the means at hand now to verify this claim, but admitting it to be true, it is very great evidence that his noin ination is equivalent to an election? We think not, for the reason that many of the jjfitcs which it is now claimed will vote v'for Mr. Cleveland in the convention will not vote for him at the polls. But here is the table prepared by tho enthusiastic friends of the ex President: Ail New Englaud, solid for Clevo land, Pennsylvania, solid for Cleveland, New Jersey, solid for Cleveland, Ohio, safe for Cleveland, Indiana, solid for Cleveland, Illinois, solid for Cleveland, Michigan, solid Cleveland, Wisconsin, red hot for Cleveland, Minnesota, all for Cleveland, 78 G4 20 40 30 48 28 24 18 G 34 North Dakota, strong for Cleveland, Missou, solid for Cleveland, Nebraska, all for Cleveland, 10 va, for Cleveland and Boies, 2G 20 26 24 30 24 175 Kansas, sure for Cleveland, Kentucky, shouting for Cleveland, Tennessee, Cleveland all the time, Texas, all for Cleveland, Pacific coast, solid for Cleveland, More than half of all others, proba bly, Cleveland's total strength to day, 737 Total number of delegates, 900 Now, all these States have not in structed their delegates to vote for Mr. Cleveland's nomination but have simply endorsed him, while leaving their delega tions unbounded by strict instructions. But let that pass and count them all for him, how many Democratic electoral votes do these States represent? We will take them in the order named above. All of New England with 38 electoral votes pves only six to the Democracy, tho others of theso States including Mas fwdhnspttH nd Rhode Island voting stendily for the Republican nominee for President. Pennsylvania's electoral vote has been given to the Republican nomi nee at every election; Ohio is always Re publican in presidential elections; Indiana has always been Republican except when it cast its vote for Tilden in 187C and Cleve. land in 1884; Illinois always Republican; Michigan always Republican; Wisconsin always Republican; Minnesota always Republican; North Dakota always Re publican in State elections. It has never voted for President. Nebraska, always Republican; Iowa always Republican; Kansas always Republican; the Pacific slopeCalifornia, Colorado and Oregon sjJvcs twelve electoral votes. These votes have always been given to the Re nul.licfin nartv except that California I I voted for Hancock iu 1SS0 and in 1808 Oregon Voted for Seymour. The number of Democratic electoral votes given by States in the above table is sixty-seven. They are Connecticut II, New Jersey !, Missouri 16. Kentucky 13, Tennessee 1'.', Texas 13. The nuni ber of votes in the electoral college is 44 1 necessary to a choice 223. Of tho " '.' elictural votes iiooessarv. therefore, to the election of a Democratic President the States mentioned in the above table which give Mr. Cleveland 737 votes iu the National convention only furnish sixty-seven. It is true that States whose electoral votes go to the Republican nomiuee have as much weight and iufluence in the con ventions which select the Democratic nominees as those States which vote with the Democracy, but it is equally true that hopelessly Republican States should not attempt by mere force of numbers to uominate a candidate who is not popular and may not be able to hold nil the Dem ocratic States in lino. Mr. Cleveland is a great man, he made a great President, and would again be a great Chief hxetu tive, but what is needed is a candidate who can be elected. Mr. Cleveland with all his greatness can be of no avail unless he can hold the Demooratio States and win a few Republican States. Hisfiiends aim that he can do this, but they do not and cannot prove it. He did not do it in lS88;he made no impression in Rhode Island last week, although his friends had prepared to utter many prophecies had that State gone Demo cratic. A careful study of tho election statistics ought to convince any one that it is useless to hope that the Democracy will make heavy inroads into Republican strongholds. It would be much wiser to hold to what we have and get what else we can than to run any danger of losing the substance while trying to get the shadow. Whoever may be nominated must carry all the Democratic States. Mr. Cleveland has not thus far shown that he can do this, his strength iu the convention yet appearing chiefly in Repub lican States. We believe all these facts make Mr. Cleveland a weak candidate. We believe Mr. Hill is the strongest man to nominate, and we believe he will be elected if nominated. He has every requisite of success, Nominate him and he will hold the Democratic States while making inroads into Republican strong holds. For time passed the county and sub alliances of Georgia have been en dorsing the people's party movement under direction of leading alliance men who are also Third party leaders. This is in direct conflict with the constitution of the all iance which prohibits anything like political action, and recognizing this the State Executive Committee has unanimously passed a resolution demand- in;' that all alliances which have taken such action rescind it promptly or sut render their charters, ihe alliance is not partisan, it says in its constitution that tho members will not be interfered with in the exercise of their political opinions J Ins means that a man can be a nood alliani-eman and still disagree with his brethren mi important question. The sub-treasury n not a tot ol what email tutes a good allianceuinn, neither is th land loan i-chcine, the St. Louis platform, or various other measures which are ad vocated by members of the order.
