The Democracy ogthis District, whsct

tine, Clinton, Cedar, jackson, Jones and
Linn, have taken the initiatory steps, as
will be seen by proceedings published

ven,iou is to nominate . Democratic

delegate for each fraction over fifty.
This entities Scott TO IA delegates,
Muscatine Is, Clinton IA, Cedar 10

the utmost importance that the Democ-

in this matter, and that the several
County Conventions Of the District
select such men for delegates as will at
tend the District Convention ,oithout

The first step having been taken it

party. There will be no lack OF aspi-
rants. The thing needful is to select
the right one. Let this matter be agi-
tated as generally and thoroughly as
possible before the day Of holding the
Convention, so that when the Conven-
ton is held, the delegates may not be in

mine have learned to hide, and hts lausy \
botraying in it the ring of death.
I stood by his side, and listened to the
mock echo; aud he saw my curling LIP,
and that I had read his soul, and knew
all its bitterness. And when | had left
the crowded rooms, and stood in the soft
moonlight, among the shadowy trees, he
came and knelt at my feet, like coward
who dared not suffer in silence, and told
me how be had loved me all through the
years that the butterfly of the sun had
been his bride--how he loved, aud ever
must. And I went away. with a low
laugh, and left him moaning, Have
you, too, grown soulless you, the snow
white lily, that came like hidden foun-
tain. between me and the desert Of earth
" unbelief?"
Well the world says so; and I am lying
on the messy carpet like broken reed
by the brook of its love, wondering if al
it says is true.
