Monday last was the day appointed by
the democracy at their meeting held on
the I'd day Of October last, to finish the un.
finished business of that meeting, to-wit:
the instruction Of their delegates for whom
TO vote in the State Convention for Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United
States. The disposition Of this subject
it was thought at one time would be
rather difficult; but by the proper and
timely arrangement of the affair, the
clique so managed the Johnson boys as TO
almost Brighten them out of c1en bringing
his name before the meeting. 1t was a
very easy matter 10 succeed with those who
lived Immediately in this vicinity, but The
friends of old Dick from the "Harricane'
and Franklin Township would not yield
without a count, which was had, the result,
of which will be made known directly.
The difficulty experienced in the former
meeting of getting proper persons for Off
GERS on the occasion, was not 10 be over
come again-,his being an adjourned NEE
ting, the same officers presided as before;
and much to their credit (or TO the credit
of those who drilled them, which ever you
please) seemed to understand their duty
better, and business was despatched in or.
der and with promptitude.
When we entered the room the prose,
cutting Attorney for the Temperance So
ciety," was addressing The meeting on The
subject of harmony, concession, every
thing for the cause, nothing for men, in ;
strain of cloquence that was quite exciting
and which seemed TO carry the ardor ano
palhos of the speaker home to his auditors
when he was speaking so eloquently OF
the subject of harmony, and against dsor
ganizers, we know not what others wer'
thinking of, but our thoughts were upor
the canvass of 1912, when this gentle
man sought the aid Of the wing party L
elect him to the legislatures; when h
pledged himself to the wings to oppose tn
regularly nominated democratic ticket; l.
advocate the adoption of measures whicI
the democratic party were opposed to, &c
The wings gave him their support-elecie'
him-and he proved about as grateful t
The wing party for their assistance, as d
the prince of traitors, Tyler. This wa
what VIC were thinking on, and we doub
not many democrats were thinking on III
same subject. But relying on his skill, h
