The Newark Advocate IndIg-
Il g." ''i nates! 90 3'

Io We think the NetoGrk Aduocate is over
sensitive about the extract it makes from
The STArEsMAN's notice of the Coshocton
jollification. If we had written 1t, we
should have given expression to our appre-
citation OF the Coshocton Democracy in
somewhat more discreet terms; but we see
nothing in the language Of our Reporter to
indignate overl We did not see his article
until after it was printed. THE STATESMAN
has always had, and always expects to
have, the very highest appreciation of the
Democracy of Old Licking; and the Editor
of the Advocate, who has but recently taken
up his abode in the county, shall be assured
of this, if he will talk with the men that
bear the heat and burden of their cam
paigns. The Democracy of Licking did
their duty nobly and gallantly at the late
election, as they always do; and they are
entitled to all,the credit and honor that q
duty well-discharged brings with it. We
can have nothing but praise and commenda-
btlon for the Democrats of each county of
the 18th Districts they all fought good
fight, and all contributed their part in de-
feating COLUMBUS DELANo and electing the
gallant and glorious MORGAN.

the mob, meanwhile, with emphasis, that he
wanted them TO let his door alone. 1t was
opened again, and again closed by the oc-
cuparE, A third time IL was opened, and
now Mr.. Nye came forward, with his poker
In hand, and told them that they were
pack of scoundrele, and towards. and fit
Representatives of their party. He ener-
getically ordered them off, and said that if
they would show him the man who opened
his door, he would break his head for him.
No one ventured to come forward. Mr..
Nye then retired into the office, locking the
door inside. The mob kicked and pounded
on 1t and called for rail to break It in,
but some one in the crowd said that sit
wouldn't do" and so It wasn't attempted.
Awed by the defiant bearing of Mr..
Nye, the rowdies, at the word from Rev.J.
NJ, Woodbridge began to move up Second
street to Mr.. Follett's residence. On reach
Ing it. they gave three, cheers for Plants,
and three groans for Follett, and made
night hideous with their noises. Presently.
stones were hurled at his house by some of
the rowdles. Matters were drifting pretty
far, and might have resulted seriously,
when Henry Kelley, the next doofneighbnr
!6f Mr.. Follett, and, by the way, Republi-
can, began to expostulate with the mob.
BE was 30 far successful, that the throwing
Of stones ceased, and in little while, the
rowdies sheered off for Lewis Anderson's.i
on the 'Plain." Here they went through
the stated programme--hoOting, groaning,
cheering for Plants, stoning the house, etc.
As at Follett's and lNye's so here-a
derisive call was made on Anderson to
come out and show himself. One of the mis-
siles sent from the mob came near hitting
his little girl, who was at a window. Had
1t struck her, the result must have been
fatal, as the indentation made on the
wall will show. Next, the house of Walter
G. Hood was visited. He was not at home,
nor were there any others than two women
and three children In doors. Here, as else
where, cheers were given for Plants and
groans for the Democratic partv, for the
Marietta Times, for Walter @. Hood. and
so forth. His residence, too, got its modi-
cum of stoning. i3G 5HaaiTl ID. .ltN ,
The mob, after this, went down Fourth
street, and called on Mr.. Stimson, whom
they complimented with loud cheers. The
like attentions were shown Col. Dawes,
Gen. L. q. H. Smith, Jasper s. Sprague,
Sheriff Hicks. f. A. Wheeler, and, per-
haps, some others. lI 1is sl.4 uJ I...

Declines N Nomination.
We learn from the Nsw York World Of
last Friday, that the Tammany Congress
slonal Convention, on Thursday evening,
rendered the nomination for Congress in
the Fourth New York District to Hon.
SAMUEL s. Cox, and that he declined it.
He had already been nominated by the
Mozart Convention. Had he accepted
these nominations, he would have had no
Democratic opposition, and would have car
ried the District by an immense majority.
After Mr.. Cox had declined, his friend JOHN
Fox received the nomination, by unani-
nous vote of the Convention. We clip
the following from the World of Friday:
