Mr. T.E. Palmer of Manning is a candidate before the Democratic County convention for the nomination of Recorder. If there is any man among the unterrified who has complied with the principles and requirements of that party more thoroughly and earnestly than he has since he left the Republican camp about four years ago, that man should be honored by some office of responsibility. And if there is a class of citizens that should appreciate Palmer's services it is the Germans. We do not say that Palmer will be a strong candidate; but that he is deserving of the nomination all Democrats and Republicans for that matter - will admit. He is apparently in sympathy with all the doctrines laid down by his party; and it makes no difference whether these doctrines are in strict violation to the laws of the State or not, you will find him with his party. The MONITOR thinks he should be given the nomination at tomorrow's convention.
