DEMOCRATIC DECENCY.

One would suppose, from reading the
Democrat, and hearing that democrat
ic lady, that the Democrats never dis.
turbed Republican meeting or did any
thing mean. \ short time ago the Dem.
ocrt said that Douglas couldn't finish his
speech at Cedar Rapids, ION account of
being disturbed by Republicans. We
didn't believe it then, it was so unlike
Republicans, and we have since made in.
quiries of some who were present. They
state that there was no disturbance, ex-
cept what was made by drunken
Douglas man. lie didn't believe that he
there saw the vcritable St phen A., and
said they couldn't fool him that way, and
SO he hurraed for Douglas till he was ia
ken of the ground.
Ga Saturday night last, while the
speaking was going on near the Court
House, several Democrats, men, not boys,
set up wall Tor douglas that was lnten-
ded to disturb the meeting They had
learned better than to throw eggs and
stones again and staid on the opposite
side of the street. They howled for
Douglas and beat upon tin pans. 1t may
have been a " wake" over Douglas po-
li,ical death. On the same night we
learn that in Iowa township, where Re-
publican meeting was being held the

stirrup straps, and hid the saddles be.

the meeting. This may be all right &C,
cordiug to Douglasism, but it won't &C
down with the people. The Democrat as
as referred to above asks, "Who would
belong to a party that is guilty of such
cowardly conduct?' We would repea,
the question, and answer that no decen,
man ought to, and no decent man vii
when he comes to know the truth.

whom is Stephen A. Douglas who claims

by correspondent Of an Illinois paper

their spare dollars for the Pennsylvan's,

say they will not be so easily caught a
second time. They were cheated ny the
little Forneys of Philadelphia, the small

election was allowed to 60 by default,
while the rogues pocketed the gold OF
