@The Cry is Still they Come. u
STRAIGHT OUTS.

From various sources, we gather the fol-
lowing list OF defections from the Democrat
| ic ranks. 1t is ominous of the result next
fall We will t:y Ind find room for more
such items between now and the election,
they are so interesting.
"Come out from the foul party" was the
cry of many Democrat in 1910; but it is
nothing to what We hear now. The roll of
the Republican Convention-a record not
to be disputed-shows long list of Demo-
Gratis, who in 1852, were the very lenders
of their party. These are some of them:
Morrill,, OF Maine; Cleveland, of Connecti-
cut; Preston King, Abijah Mann, D. K.
'romkins, A. S. Murray ]. ]. Viele, D. G.
FloJd, P. Dorsheimer of N. York; F. P.
Blair of Maryland; A. P. Stone and N. H.
Swayne of Ohio; George P. Buell. of Indi-
ana, with numerous others, too tedious to
mention. Then add to these Hamlin of
Maine, Trumbull and Bissell of Illinois, Bry
ant in New York, and hundreds of others to
whom the Democracy have been accustom-
ed to look up as the ablest and most respect
| ed of their leaders. The "come outers''
count by tens of thousands on every side
What is to balance this. The forlorn con-
ISOLATION that Wings will be foolish enough
to vote for James Buchanan, and Mr.. Fill
more will divide some States! That. would
certainly be misfortune; but at present
the Wings going over are not very numer-
GUS, and the division not very great.-Cin.

The Independent Democrat. of Waukegan,
Lake county, Illinois, has hoisted the Bis
sell and HOFFMAN banner, and goes for Free
dom. Before the nominations at Cincin-
natl, the Democrat had placed the name Of
Buchanan at the head of its columns as its
irst choice for the Presidency, but the plat
form of the Slave Democracy upon which
Buchanan is placed, and he has himself so
emphatically endorsed, was too much for the
Democrat, and that paper now refuses to sup
port him.
The Lancaster (Pa Express, Democrat
ic paper and formerly supporter of Mr..
Buchanan. has drawn himself entirely out
OF the Cincinnati harness. and is now free
tor any candidate the Philadelphia Conven-
tion shall nominate.
The St. Louis Anzigsr dss WeStens Ger,
man daily and weekly paper, with large
r;uiation and much influence among the
Ce mans in the West which has hitherto
acted with the Administration, repudiates
both the plat form and the Candidates of the
| Cincinnati Convention.
The Allegan (Mich.) Journal gives the
following:
COMING cUT.-It did our heart good to
hear the response made by Col. John Little
john, soldier of 1912, md hitherto an old
Line Democrat to one of our Nebraska
county officers, who inquired whether Buch-
anan was Federalst. "Yes,' said the
Colonel, Buchanan was speaking against
my country whea l was fighting her battles!
Can support such man as Buchanan for
the Presidency! No sirr' The Nebraska
Office holders had no more questions to ask.
The nomination of Buchanan falls still
born among the Democrats of Allegan
county.
By way of comment on the above the De-
troit Tribune says:
So they come in troops. We heard day
or two since of two Democrats from Cass
county, oUer seventy gears old, that have re-
nounced the party and espoused Republican
ism. They declare that Buchanan and the
slave drivers platform they will not support.
SO saws every man in whose breast beats an
honest, upright heart, and who is guided by
conscience and an unprejudiced mind.
The Dubuque Republican contains com.
munication from VIM. M. Crozier the Pro-
scouting Attorney of that county, which
withdraws his name from the Democratic
Convention, to which it had been presented
for re-nominati m to the Office he now holds
and AYERS his determination no longer to ac:
with the Border Ruffian Democracy.
STGNIFIcANr.-The Syracuse Journal, in
noticing the meeting of the Fremont Club
in that city, says that more than one-third
of its members have, up to this time, never
voted any other than Democratic ticket.
This. is but the beginning OF the end, and
that end is the overthrow OF the slavery
party
BOLTS THE TIckEr-The Worcester
(Mass.) Palladium, published by Hon. s. C.
Knowlton, the most influential Democrat
il that great county, and one of the most
able Democrats in Massachusetts, refuses
to endorse the Border Ruffian candidate,
nominate at Cincinnati Mr.. K. was one
OF the most influential supporters of Pierce
in 1852.
The Oswego Times OF Friday says:
CAN'T Go IT.-The Pulaski Democrat
the Democrat organ for Eastern Oswepo
county, refuses to 60 the Buchanan ticket. |
Its editor, MIR. Hatch, was the candidate for
Senator last fall. He has resolved he can't
travel the downward road" any farther.
GThe Dayton Gazette says the "Fre.
mont Fever" is prevailing as an epidemic in
that region of country. A large number of
Democrats having taken it in mild form,
and others are actually down with l., past
recovered.
We find more Fremont men among the
Democracy here, than we had at first any
dea of--the staid and substantial men orl
he party, who have heretofore lead the
Democratic party to victory, rrpudiate the
Cincinnati platform and, as freely endorse
hat OF the r. publican party, adopted at
1t is no wonder the pro-
slavery Democracy have become alarmed.
