The harmonious Democracy are having
Jolly times in Illinois At their township meet
ings and county conventions. These bodies
are generally double-headed and double
breasted, with any amount Of tongues and
fists. The primary assemblies rush together
pell nell, nominate Douglas chairman and
. Buchanan chairman, who, with their back
~, carry on pretty lively squabble for sue
CESS in the appointment Of delegates Of their
own particular stripe, and frequently send
up double set to the county conventions,
where the matter 10 usually fought over
again in much the same style. Two State
Conventions, one Mass Douglas Convention,
and the other Buchanan Delegate Conven-
ton, have been appointed, and We presume
. similar battle, on q grander scale, will
come Oh in both these conventions when
they assemble.
We give an s1lrast from description Of
the proceedings It Peoria, which will answer
~ sample Of the Dem ocratic pow-wows in
che Sucker State this spring. The editor of
the Transcripts says:
When ws sutosed ths Court House at .
few minutes pase sleven O'Clock, the scene
presented vas one OF such confusion a. can
be neither described or imagined. Judge
Loucks stood upon the Aoor, inside the bar,
and Robinson occupied the judges bench
shove him. Both were making vain efforts
TO entertain motions from their respective
partisan friends, and the crowd Was shouting
Justify. Loucks would at one moment de-
clare Robinson out Of order, and then Rob.
inson would declare Loucks to be out Of or
