The Sentinel at Maquoketa City opposes
the manner and authority of the call made
by Mr.. Mahoncy to the Democracy of this
state. The fact is, the people generally don't
want party conventions this year, and it is
bad time to bring the batteries of party
action into the field

lowing for which he should have been bre-

in favor of a no-party convention. Several

TX Secretary Flo,

ssnted psir Of magnificent horses 10 JEFF.

Of stealing by the million, has had the means

taat one VI them had bosn for soms time indis-
