lean wings, heads but the evidences and appear
OF things for the last few days give us great
couragemen to hope that i'm this distracted State

hear OF those who have been hal,ng, and even Joining
the aconsts giving up their doubts and coming nobIy
INTO the work for the nominees OF the convention.
Y gu have seen the action OF Democratic General
| Committee The removal of Dr. Maclay as its chair
man is measure which every good democrat will APP
prove, and ought to object TO- The truth is he
should have resigned A large majority of this mpor-
tan committee, at the time of their election were I'M
doubleday banburners but in the OF events the
opinions OF this committee have changed and il
stands as two to one in favor of Cass and Butler.
The chairman has great power, and could create
iuslsn and even thwar the action of the committee and
charged that he used this power against the regular
democratic party of this city. This considered by
the committee and the party generally detrimental TO
ITS best interests that there was other left but
the one adop!ed-to remove him. and appoint another
IN his place. who will reflect and carry the wishes
and opinions of the party in this city This done
last evening by large majority, and may now look

The course Mr. Yancey OF Alabama is pursuing, is
terrible damPer upon northern democrats, who firmly
and unhinchingly standing up for the rights of all

Our intelligent correspondent in New York overates
the influence OF Mr. Yancey in Alabama The signs are
decisive in that democratic State There is not demo-
cratic paper which does not vigorously support the
nation of Cass and Butler Every letter which we have
seen from Alabama expresses the most confident as
surance of our Yancey is voted down wher-
ever he speaks in public The following, addressed to
member of Congress- only out Of the multitude Of
letters we have seen from that Sate all running in the
same direction:
CARRoLLroN. July 6, 1913.
DEAR SIR: The nominations of Cass and Butler meet
the hearty appreciation of the democracy of the 4h dis

called meeting at this place Monday last to rafy
the nominations and organize association and have
hesitation in saying that il was the best the very
Greater unanimty and enthusiasm could not prevail in
any meeting than evidenced on that occasion The
factious opposition of Yancey, Belser, and Sam Rice
meets with response the democratic hearts in this
section. And after careful inquiry have found but
one in this county who even inclines toward their
views.
Our able elector, DR.. Beckett, is up and doing and
throws in good round shot for all the Taylor grape."

Norwich, W., July 10, 1s4s.
You see that right in asserting last winter tina
Martin Van Buren, the great puer of the barn
burner faction. The State OF New York has for years
assumed dictate to the democracy Of the whole Union
or rather few aspiring demagogues have done in the
name of the democracy of that State but the charm il
8 now broken, and | do not regret it. The New Y ORR
movement will not reduce General Cass's strength in
New England, but hardly fail to the vote Of
Vermont to Cass think the effect will be the in
Connecticut, and will draw hard on Massachusetts,
