LOCO FOCO STRENGTH IN
HOWARD.

We think the vote for the candidates for
Sheriff, on Monday last, was about as fair
and as full test of the reduced strength OF
the Loco-focos in Howard as could possibly
have been obtained. Four popular citizens,
representing every main division Of the
county,and having strong friends and sup
porters in every corner of it, had been in
duced to agree, publicly, to submit their re-
spective pretensions to general meeting
Of the party, to be holden months after
wards, thereby allowing the most ample
time for electioneering for the NOMINATION,
which they all regarded as equivalent to an
election. We need not say that the various
gentlemen, and their prominent friends,
awaited themselves Of the time thus granted
to the utmost Of their ability and address.
We have met them all at several Of the
recent Club meetings, and have heard Ct
them at others-bringing into requisition
the proper quantity OF "whiskey" and other
sound electioneering arguments. In short,
Mr.. Criger, Mr.. Rucker, Murphy and Cap
tain Edgar " left no stone unturned" which
might honorably be employed to procure a
nomination-which, as before remarked
they (mistakingly) considered as equivalent
to an election. Knowing this, (and KNOW
ING THAT AS MANY WOULD PROBABLY VOTE IN
THE SHERFF's NOMINATION, WHO WOULD ULTI-
MATELY VOTE FOR GENERAL HARRISON, AS
TEERE WERE ABSENTEE FRIENDS OF MARTIN
VAN BUREN) the friends Of the old Hero
awaited the annunciation of the aggregate
vote, on the last ballot between Mr.. Crigler
and Mr.. Rucker, as an index, as certain as
could be we'll obtained, of the strength
which can now be commanded by the hold
ers for THEIR candidate. Ii we correctly
heard the annunciation of that result, the
aggregate vote was sic. Turning to the
vote in 1888, between Messrs. Allen and
Harrison for Congress, we find the aggre-
gate vote of the county to have been 1906.
Of these, we know that dozens Of Loco
locos have since moved away-their places
being generally supplied by Wings, or Dem
ocrats who prefer General Harrison anc
HIS measures 10 the reelection Of Martin
Van Buren, and a perpetuation of HIS ruin
Gus policy. We KNOW more than FoHrl
Of those who have staid behind-who are
nevertheless no longer Van Burenites-
several of whom were in town on Monday
and not only refused all solicitations to &C
in the meeting, but otherwise openly repu
dated the departure of Martin Van Burel
and his leading friends particularly tn
office holders) from the principles that hat
brought the party into power.
On the whole we believe the friends o
old fashioned rePublicanism are clearly L
THE MAJORITY in old Howard. AIIowin!

focos who could not be brought to III,

A LOCo-FoCo BEATING HIMSELF.

We have learned good anecdote respecting the
probable result of the approaching election for the
Presidency, which ''came off" few DAYS AFRO be
tween a rabid loco on the one side and clear
headed, cyphering Wing on the other The loco
was predicting with great certainty the reelection
of Martin Van Buren, when, being little pressed
by the Wing as to where he was to get the votes
from, he took his pencil and commenced setting
down the states that he claimed for Van Buren,,
commencing at New Hampshire and ending at Mis-
souri,. He had goodly number of Stales strung
together by this process, but To- when the Wing
proposed to carry out the number of roles which
they were respectively entitled to give and to add
all these together, there were seven still lacking
This is a true anecdote, and only shews the depth
of the sef-deusion even of the leading locos.
This one had never counted up the difference be-
tween the little breeches pocket States which are
claimed as certain for Van, and the two and forty
and thirty and one and twenty Founders which are
equally certain for the republican candidate of the
people.

tt.- correspondent very justly commends the
manly and dignifed conduct of Major SEBREE, the
Receiver of Public monies on Monday last He
stood aloof, from the commencement, --takirg "no
part in the business" until toward the very last,
when the contest for Sheriff having narrowed
down to point involving the interest and success
of Mr.. CRIGLAR, he so far yielded to the desire to
serve his old neighbor "Lewis" as to 90 in, with
out saying word, and be counted amongst his
friends. The conduct of this officer, so eminenty
in contrast with all the others, exemplfes the
difference between man who served with approba
ton and distinction under Harrison, and those who
either left the army with dirty hands Themselves 4
or were not there to witness his conduct. 1t is
difficult to tell which of these classes are the most
brave and potent in the grocery, in water nell
lon patch. But we fOrbear, lest our humble com
mendaton of the conduct of political opponent
should cost him his office under this "regn o
tyranny"

1.-THE PARTY--GRADUAL ABOLITION"

"THE PARTY--GRADUAL ABOLITION"
We have not room for the communication of our
correspondent respecting the party generally, and
Judge Reynolds particularly, on the subject of 'gra-
dual abolition" The Democrat of Wednesday
contains statement of Judge Napton who was the
editor of that paper in 1885, which, along with the
first parag raph Of his editorial comments of that
day we deem it but just to publish. Oar friends
in Cooper will doubtless look out for the gentleman
whose name the Judge has not permission TO pub
fish. 1t will be that the error of the CORES
ponden. of the Tines consisted alone in falling
in with the universal opinion" which ascrbed the
authorship of "a Shareholder" IN 80, to the pre-
sent democratic" candidate for Governor 1t was
not him, but another stern democrat on the other
side of the river, IoSs name Judge " has not per-
mission to publish. Well The doctrine so falsely
ascribed to Gen. Harrison, and for which he to
have been run down as no democrat, is fixed, firmly
and adhesively, by the showing of Judge Napton,
on leading member of the democratic party o.
l335-with whom Judge Reynolds may or may
not concur. 0I.I-Hs does not say.-EI1
Our object is thus accomplished. I. is all right
in stern democrat and "a Stakeholder" too, &c
be in favor of setting the negroes free in 80. III
must not be turned out Of 'the party for that. Oh
no he must be patted on the head-kept in--his
name w1thheld, and himself reelected as " stern
democrat" in 1910. Meanwhile, the vlest faJrica
tions are resorted to to excite similar suspicion
against General Harrison, and The same party ant
the same press affect the extreme of horror at tle
own vile falsehoods Such is the Boons Lici
Democrat--such are the leaders of the democracy.
SALINE COUNTY, April 23l, 1910.
To the Editor Of the Democrat:
An editorial article in the Boon's Lick Times o

in which communication published in the Democra
of 1885, and signed a Stakeholder, has been attri
buted to Judge Reynolds Having been the EditO
of the Democrat a the time that communication ap
peared, l feel it my duty to state that Judge Rey
nolds was not the author. 1t was written by gen
tleman who lives the south side of the Missouri

sailors Of two ships Of war, the Independence and

their landlords have influenced to vote the Loco
Foco ticket, once at least. The Fourth and Sew.
enth both would have been Wing wards, but "
their votes. The Hook District last night preT
sented one of the most extraordinary spectacles
ever offered in our country. The honest Jack Tars,
after having been used through the day, aban-
doned to their worst enemies at night.
A yet greater outrage was perperated in the
Sixth ward, where, as we are informed, the Egypt
ian Tombs were explored, and the prisoners
brought forth, to vote the agrarian ticket. And
yet, notwithstanding all these disadvantages, the
Wings have handsomely reduced the majority of
the Tammany candidates, even in the last death
struggles of the unregistered illegal voters to
maintain their ascendancy. The result is a
proud one for the Wings. 1t proves beyond
doubt, that the State will 60 for Harrison next
November by from twelve to twenty thousand ma
jority And it also proves, that when the regis
tration of voters is made in the fall-when men
who present themselves to the inspectors will be
compelled to show that they live some'ciere, and do
not vote under an dliaS-this city will be trium-
phanty carried by the Wings.
