These now ere the blooms of German
Democracy here, these are the delegates to
the State convention of Hunkers, as they
were elected last Thursday in pretty meet
ing, in which according to the report OF Gre
dible witnesses not 20 Germans participant
ed, these are the same men, who passed the
following interesting resolution which we
literally copy frow the Messenger of the Je-
saits (the Volksbcte.):
Resolved, 10y Messrs. Reitz, BiPpus, Lun-
kenheimer and Rohner) That "the" Ger
man paper, Volksbote, edited by John Roh-
ner, for "his" valuable - merits,i is entitled
to the warm support Of the Democratic par
ty, and we (Rohner & Co.. recommend the
same to the Democracy of the first district.
Is it not heart stirring how the-the-the
fMasc., Fem. and Neut.) VolksbOte is re-
commencing itself! And how they will re-
joce in Indianapolis, when our four Binz-
gaucrs (meaning some sort offOols or simple
tons) shall arrive there.
The affair, as merry as it is, has its serious
lesson. Reiiz, Rohner, Lunkenheimef and
Bippus-in other words. jesuiis and office
seekers are the leaders OF the Hunker Dem
ocracy.
The Election In Lamasco.
Our sister city Lamasco has lately been
sort of monarchy. Prince Reitz-Schleifz-
Greitz, with the mild darkness ofhis episcO-
pal power, wound about by veil, Swallowed
his dear subjects, and the dear subjects in
confederation thereof built him streets to his
building lots, and filled up the ground upon
which the Prince sovereign condescen ded to
build his residence.
Lamasco was happy. His Highness need
ed much money for the necessary "Verboe-
serungen" (soundng like Improvements, but
really meaning the reverse) Of the town, but
on his body his Highness spent nothing, and
less on his own mind.
Lamasco was happy. True, she sunk into
mud and debts, but notwithstanding she was
happy, because she had pous sovereign.
Lamasco was happy, because she had a
Court who assumed the disagreeable govern.
me ntal affairs.
The noble (baronised) families of Reitz
and Bippus attended to everything; they
made ordinances, assessed taxes and nomi-
mated the candidates. The happy, good ma
tured people of Lamasco had oniy-to pay.
They already intended to build u Chinese
wall, but Of sacred saw logs, to prevent the
introduction of all modern ideas. Bips had
made the plan, and princely saw logs were
sawed as clumsy as his Highness himself.
There at once the spirit of revolution Gas
Jesuiten Hannes would say went into the
inhabitants of Lamasco. They wanted SELL
government instead of wire working, repub-
lie instead Of the too charming (reitzende)
monarchy,
To talk about the last election, i: is hard
ly worth mentioning that the whole one
horse ticket would have been defeated, ienot-
The candidates Of the mon archical party
were the judges of the election themselves.
Bippus sat among them. He neglected the
Court house to fill his post as Secretary Of
the Interior ut the election.
Of curse ties came out now, while
before the election of the opposing
candidate had not been doubted. OF course
the drawing of lots, conducted in secrecy,
was among the three ties against the oppos
ing candidates.
The citizens Of Lamasco, however, don't
find the whole proceeding so natural at all,
and will deliberate upon measures this eve
ming TO get rid Of the Whole s,rindie.
If the candidates, who were not elected
by the majority of ;he votes of their fellow
citizens, but who came into office by the
singular accident of chance drawing lots)
have one spark Of honor in their breast, they
will submit voluntarily to a new clectio a,
and not wait till they are compelled to do so.
