The late elections and after summing up
have been committed By thu managers of
Democratic Conventions both in this aud

slLet as see how it has been. Our
State tickets, ever since the var com
nenced has been framed in direct refer
epes to catching the soldiers vote. In
1861 Judge Mason was fairly nominated
for Governor, bat the policy mongeFs
found bis meat was too strong for suck
ling babes and be was accordingly crowd
ed Of and Col. Merritt substituted. In
1863 il Was the sans way. Mr. Fisher
vas fairly nominated, bat be did not suit
the rnlicy nongers, and they accordingly
crowded him of and substituted Gea.
Tuttis. In 1865 the policy mongers had
ID al kheir own way. They went bodily
to The Republicans and abssraeted their
whole ticket. Dubuque, the only Dsmo-
cratic section In the whole State. made
representations 10 them Of what we want
ed, bus they treated them rs cavalieriy as
you please. Dubuque submitted and did
great d8ml better for them than they
could do f0r themselves as she had always
done.

and see hew Il will work. The policy
mongers have tried their war three times
and failed, Notwithstanding ali we could
do for them three times and ont is the
game, and let rs ace how IL will work
