Mr. EDI1oR,-
Our little town was considerably en-
livened on Saturday evening last, in
consequence of the Democratic Ratif-
cation meeting that came of at that
time. A good'y number were present,
more than VIC anticipated, and the state
of feeling that appeared manifest in the
crowd, convinces US that the Democra-
cy are again walking up and preparing
for the contest, and that with the hear
ty good will and full determination that
will insure success to our ticket. All
Of our Assembly Nominees we're present
and were called to the stand, and
should sayAgave general satisfaction, by
the hearty and prolonged cheering with
which the audience greeted and dis
missed them II. p. Barber and G. L..
Scot: were both present, ana electrified
the audience by their usual Wit and elo-
quence. Mr.. Barber gave US glowing
description Of the proceedings of the
State Convention, exposing the chica-
merry of the Elec:ionists, proving that
We were in large majority and COM
pletely justifying the course of our del
egates. Mr.. Co9ro.h was next called
for, he made his appearance and mount
ed the stand amidst loud and repeated
cheers. His remarks were brief. He stat
ed that he should most cheerfully sup
port our County ticket, but could not
concur in our State nominations. This
We were sorry to hear. We have worked
with him and for him and We are sorry
to see him SO completely bound UP in
and identified with King David aud his
adherants. The chairman Judge
Harring,on) then called upon the com.
mittee on resolutions to report; hey did
so, by presenting the following rcsolu-
tions which were adoped without a dis
scnting vote. The meeting then ad-
journed amid loud and repeated cheer
ing alternately mixed with the can on's
deafening roar.

Tuolumne County, receives the nomi-
nations Of Denver :. Herbert for Con
