LINN County, May 30, 1912.
Tn the Democratic Citizens Of C1ddr 90.

TO the Democratic Citizens OF Ceddr CO'
GENTS Having appointed SO early day
as the second Saturday in June. for your dele
cation 10 meet in District Convention those
that are to be appointed by the Democrats OF
Linn and Jones, puts ii beyond possibility Tor
any considerable number of persons livlEg In
different counties, to see and consult each 9TH
ar in the mean time, is my reason Tor address,
ING you on this occasion.
Some few Of your citizens, it is true. were
here during court time, but they were mostly
of the acrong political faith, they came, there
fore, not to harmonic our ranks, but to III
,riuue-to sow the seed Of dlssen,lon, and TO
Law foundation for the destruction Of the dem
ocratic party.
Fellow Citizens, shall they succeed! trust
not you have it in your power to dlsappolnt
them. and to show 10 the world, that, although,
few there may be, who would sink all princi-
ple on the occasion, that a mere local question
shall not make you forget the principles for
which our Fathers she'd an ocean Of precious
blood to establish, not so much for their own as
their childyen's benefit.
lie, US see how stands the case. Linn and
Jones, thank goodness, have no local question
to distract them, and you, as it is to be hoped,
will forget yours, for the sake OF harmony, sue,
@---@s
| must here inform you that three Of your
democrats were lately here, viz (: Messrs. Nc
Coy, Rankin, and Ward, and they gave US
distinctly to understand, that they would sup.
port whoever got the nomination, and further
more, that with the exceptions very few, the
entire democracy Of Cedar would do likewise /;
this is good news, it foretells US Of a certain
victory. Should there appear amongst you
one or more protesting the democratic fuiM,
and refusing to support the nomination that
will be made, he is no democrat; nay, he ought
to be despissd ten times more than the open en-
my.-Acknowledge not his democracy-he
is hypocri,e or 'raitor-a very wolf in
sleeps clothing.
For my own part, and as far as have found
out the sentiments of the democracy of this
county, it is thus with us; we are not bigoted
in favor of one man principles, not men, is our
motto. Let the democracy Of Jones and Ce-
dar adopt it, and We MUST and SHALL be
uictOrious! In haste,
Your brother Democrat.

MEssRs. WISE AND STANLrY.-The Nation
al Intelligencer of the 10th ult. states that Mi.
Wise was arrested on suspicion that he was
about to fight duel with Mr.. Stanley, and
gives lengthy report of his trial before JUS
tice. He was held to bail in bonds of $4,000.
Several members of Congress Immediately en-
tered themselves as security.
f,he following be correct. it will be seen
that challenge had passed and bee" accepted:
A correspondent of the New York Courier
and Enquirer, gives rumor that Mr.. Rever-
DIV Johnson of Baltimore, willie attending Mr..
Stanley, av1ere the latter IS, and while Mr.. S.
was pTdCuSlHp ~ q ihdlh W.T. " p'St"'s 49,
struck in the eye by the ball, which glanced
from the mark, and so severely, that it is fear
ed he will lose the use Of the organ.
Another report of the death of Mr.. Wise by
the hands OF Stanley, has gained circulation
in town, but we place no reliance on 1t.
Although it is an old saying, among
a certain class of politicians, that "as fair in poll
tics, it very small number that believes that no
thing right can be done by who chooses to differ
with them poitictical questions, or who are anx
ious to withhold from opponent that credit which
his acts renders due him. Among this small num-
Der may be reckoned the editor of the Hawkeyc.-
When it was supposed that the amendment TO the
appropriation bill for the payment of the debts OF the
Territory had failed in the Senate, the Hawkeyc set
up loefui bowling because Of its supposed wrongs,
rejecting upon Gen. Dodge. When the facts were
ascertaned, that by his great cxerions the amend
ment had been retained, instead of recantng its for
mer charge of neglect of duty it attempts to turn il
off by silly reply TO article in the Gazette. u
we owed the devil dozen of political, knares or
ack-asses and he refused to take the editor OF the
Hawkcye in full payment, we would refuse pay
ment pleading full tender.

POSTSCRIPT.

Since the above was in type we have re-
ceived an extra from the New York Sun, con-
tanning letter from correspondent upon the
spot, and embracing dates as recent as those
from the newspapers which presents the whole
affair in quite different aspect. AS we sur
missed in preparing the previous account, the
absence of Gov. Dorr, instead of being caused
by flight, was brought about by contempt
BILE piece OF stratagem, which can only have
the effect greatly to weaken the cause of those
who resorted to it,

and from circumstance which we shall be
excused, we trust, for abiding to here. After
retiring to our room last night, at the Astor,
al late hour, we had the pleasure of s.dom-
iciiary visit" from Mr.. Long, the owner of
Boston, and several mutual friends. The par
ty' were attired in costumes that would be es-
teemed somewhat unique out Of the circle of
the Marquis Of Wate!ford's friends, who ride
steeple chases in their shirts and drawers
Nevertheless there was no lack of fun nor
spirit. In the course of an interesting 'holse
talk" Mr.. Long gave US several items, one
of which was that Boston would run the first
heat s'sure'' in 1874 Said Mr.. L. che will
run the lst mile in about 1853, the Cd in 1852,
the Sd in 1854, and the 4th in 1855" After
he retired we made memorandum Of the time
as a curiosity after the race. And we refer TO
it now. 10 show that though beaten by the
Northern Phenomenon, the gallant Boston
amply sustained all the expectations formed of
him from his trials and previous performances.
He not only made vastly better time than he
ever did before, but better time than ever had
been made Time that quite cclipsesthe most
wonderful achievements on the American turf!
The Wanted performances Of the Southern
''cracks" at New Orleans are almost thrown
in the shade, wonderful as they were! But
what shall be said of the winner, the incom-
parable daughter Of Trustee and Bonnet o.
Blue! Too much cannot be said of her, or
of her Jockey. She ran as true as steel, and
as game and honest a race as was ever record
ed Of High Melted Racer!
Both horses cooled out well. Boston al
ways sweats tremendously, even after gal
lop, but he seemed little distressed. Neither

came through on the 4th mile, it was remark.

His Lordship edately drove to his quarters
prepared for him at the elegant house of ST. Clair
Clark, in Presidents Square, where (not the British
MINISTRY but very fine dinner, was in waiting
for him. His Lordship has pale appearance, and
active STEP nearly six foot in height, good coun.
tenance, and looks the English gentleman; at his
present. age, over sixty five, he is much bette,
looking man than Lord Morpeth. On tomorrow, he
will call on Mr. Fox Ohis being the etiquette be.
tween Minister and Ambassador.) Mr.. Fox will
present him to the Secretary of State, who will, on
a day appointed, introduce him TO the President.
There are some rumors about Mr.. Fox, the pre-
sent Minister, being suspended; this is doubtful at
present. Mr. Lewiston, who has arrived, is to take
the place Of Mr. Hudson, present Secretary of Lega
ton to the British Embassy.
Lord Ashburton's visit, will be a very short one,
or very long ones he will most probably be detan-
ed here nearly twelve months.
