Ts.e Communications of the Sentiue are Just
such as tbs editor of that paper would give to
any other democrat presented as candidate, and
will poss as all other puffs of similar character

before legislative committee, to things that were
rot true. Coming from him, not much truth is
expected. He says Mr. Schlater has been LONG
a citizen Of Wayne county. Three or four years
may seem LONG to some men, but generally it is not
con sidered to be such length oftime as to alone
entitle man to peculiar favors He says agsin

No such majority was ever given in this county,
Mr. Meredi,h's majority was not large. but 1t was
not altogether owing to MIR. SchIaters personal
popularity but owing to a small republican vote
being given. For instance, in Perry township
there were l54 Republican votes given at the
nominating election, aud at the regular election.

was only Ii In several other townships there
was a similar falling # of the Republican vote.
Mr. Schlaters vote was increased by his prostitu-

RAILING every foreigner, gratuitousy, who would
agree to vote for him (How profitable this was
to Mr. Scott is none Of our business) Demo
cratic voters were also imported iato this county
for the purpose of swelling the democratic vote.
Mr. Schaier is said by Dave Smith to be one of
the most popular men in this congressional dis
t-ict. and his eudorser *Fayette" says that his
nomination would add FIVE hundred votes to the
democratic ticket. This is all stuff, and Il the
party should give him the pominatoa for such a
consideration in prospec tive, they will be de-
ceved.
But Billy Schlater will not get the nomination.
That matter is all arranged. Capt- Jesse Alex

ecretary of State, according to the democratic
cogramme already made out.
