The Major took the chair by virtue OF
being the LATEST nan Of the porty, and after
giving hem to clear his throat, and bitch
to his breeches with bis left hand, be stated
the subject to be discussed. which was the
great dissatisfaction which existed 10 regerd
to the nominations, remsrkiug that there we're
some men in the party who stubbornly
we're always giving trouble.
Jesse.-That is nothing. They will ell
sooD be whipped into the traces-tbere is
nothing like using good long lash. ! have
seen worse nominations swallowed than these.
Er. PoStndser.--W have overshot the
mark n nominating such man as Cum.
mings. DR.. Masser is good officer speaks
the German language, is obligiug and is fairly
entitled TO another term. Beckley's opposi.
tion was all wroug and his story about the
Doctors opposition to bin wont take, nor
that about bis clerks and don't look well in
Beckiey, whose former clerk opposed aud
voted against DR.. Masser, and whose present
clerk is very obnoxious to many.
Counsellor H-It is certainly unfortunate
that we should have SO many men on our
ticket whose loyalty is not above suspicion,
anG then bave them oil 70 the upper end, nud
all Breckinridge men, perhaps, one only
excepted. To take two out of Chilisqus9ue,
Cummings and his uncle Irwin, is little too
much.
Sam Patch, Jr.-Well we have the party
organization in our hands, and we would be
great fools not to pominste our own friends
Doctor-I don't think Browns nomination
is anything to brag Of either. They have
got hold of matter that will be as bad as
the leather business was on some Of US two
years ago They say that the new streets
opened 10 NJ ton will cost at least $4,000 and
as the connty had to pay already $1,000
damages to extend one of these Streets tha,
it might be necessary to have some Legislation
TO fasten this also on the county, and that
Nosey Bright would not do FOR that purpose
JeSse.-But, don't you see. Brown will gel
some Republican votes on this very account
in NJ iIton. AS Cor Sheriff Waldron's opposi
tiou to Brown we will mark him some day.
Deputy ProthOnOtary.-is it true that
Brown said in this place, just before tht
nominations, that Cummings could not bs
believed or relied on for any promise be made
and ordered him out of bis Office on account
of hi. dshonorable conduct?
Doctor.-I believe Brown, the darDed fool
did tell come of DR.. Massers friends. He
ought to have kept that to himself until afte
! the election.
Jesse.--l tell you this Sheriff business il
kicking up "a fuss told you it wouldn'
) do to promise the next Sheriff to SO many
, Here is no less than six persons who We hav,
promised and agreed to make Sheriff Som,
} Of them begin to smell rat already.
: Doctor. We'll, thought when Mart wa
made President Of the Club, that it was
bad move. as they would begin to see "wbicl
= way The cat jumps"
Editor P.-llow is it that the volunteer
; are all going against us ! have praise,
them and said good many smart thing
about their being oil Democrats. Yet the
are all going to vote the Union ticket.
S d J.--Yes, you made au ass of yourse
and us too, by embarrassing that thief Foy
abusing the President, and yet sayiD
nothing against JEFF Davis and Breckenridge
Load your pistol again, F., these soldiers ar
made to be shot at You and the Virgini
preacher are full Breckinridge team, bu
would travel better over q Southern track
Charley, keep lookout at the door don
let Harry Masser hear of our proceedings =
R.ck-y, you can blow as you like don't fea
Fort Lafayette : you are cut out for some
t thing higher.
