"a portion of the long and windy communication
which appeared in the last number of the Bow
Iling-Green Journal, over the signature OF Cifi-
Sen of Pike The writer in the Journal seems
to think that Democratic party managers are
moving upon the political ehess-board forthe pur-
pose of clccting three men Of their own political
faith as county Judges for this county. And in
order to do this, he says they bring out a Demo-
cratic candidate wherever they can find 4 suit
