We point with pride to the fact that no scandal has disgraced the administration of public affairs by the Democratic officials and ask for an opportunity in a joint canvass to show the record of the Democratic party and to invite the closest scru tiny of the conduct of the affairs of the county and to contrast it with the conduct of the discreditable ad ministration which under Republi can rule reeked with scandal and corruption. And the Democrats of Randolph County, in convention assembled, hereby challeuge the nominees of the Republican party to a joint can vr"t of the county as has been the cn 'torn as long as anyone now living can remember.
