1t is said that the National Hen Con-
vention will probably be held next season
at Egg Harbor. The Minnesotian will
please set his announcement. right.-Pio-

Eggs-actly; and just ask your neigh
Dor, over on the corner, how that ire
mendous brood of chickens of his, hatch
ed last year in the shape of curses upon
many Of his w-democrats, are getting
along? Will his hen-house be able to
hold all of them, now that they are COM
ing home to roost?
"BRIcKs. Brick is about in heavy
quantities, in walls and out of walls, and
plenty in the kilns at Brawley's and Lu-
ton & Randolph's yards; and sometimes,
these days of clectioneering excitement, a
poor fellow gets one in his hat. We
also believe those hauled to Mendoza one
year ago, by Ramsey, Borup, Sibley &
Co.," to build hotel, still lie there.
MA1NE.--The Legislature of Maine,
just elected, has majority Of six Wings
in the Senate, with House that will CO.
operate with the Senate majority. As
there is no election for Governor by the
people, the Legislature will, in all proba-
bility, elect C,osLy, the Wing candidate
The Wing gain in the popular vote on
members of Congress is over 7OO0!-
Whatever influence the Liquor ques-
ton" may have had on Governor and
members Of the Legislature, it certainly
had none on Congressman, who have
nothing to do with the matter. Never,
since 1910, have the Wings of Maine
done so well. The State is now general
ly conceded as being very likely to vote
for Scott and Graham.
New York GALL sET."-TEe State
Convention, which met at Syracuse,
nominated by reclamation, Washington
Hunt for Governor, without any ballot,
and William A. Kent, of New York, on
the second ballot, for Lieut.. Governor
Thomas Kempshall, of Rochester, was
nominated by reclamation for Canal Com
missioner. None of that peculiar spe-
cies of harmony manifested by the
Democratic Convention, was apparent
No one was kicked out, and no s'treasona-
BILE" doings were had.
ANOTHER SCREW LOOSE Mai. Noah
refused to act as Secretary at the opening
of the protracted meeting on Saturday
last.
"DEMocRAcY UNIrED."-One veal
ago the editor Of the Democrat proclaimed
to the world, that the Democracy" o
Minnesota were firmly united and sure o
victory. In his late numbers he says, il
substance, they were not united then, bu
are now. On which occasion did he tel
the truth? or did he tell it on either?
