OF Democratic strength was auspiciOus-
IL begun on Saturday night at the Club
Room. We want to see it pushed for
ward tonight at the primary meetings.
Let us have general attendance, careful,
cautious action and sound and worthy
tickets. Give us for candidates good,
trusty and efficient men, who will be
faithful 10 the interests OF their con-
>fitpency and to the principles of
the party which will elect them. We
have occasionally heard the fear ex-
pressed that the Democrats are not sutfi-
cicntly particular in this latter respect,
and that through carelessness and mis-
taken ideas of liberality we have some
times chosen candidates who have not
held fast to the faith. II this is true,
let us have no more of ii. Give us men
who are with us in sentiment, vote and
act. and who will he as good Democrats
in office as they are in the canvas. In
order that there may he no failure in Sc
leciing our hest materials for the tick
cts to be made up this evening,
we wonld like to see an attendance ut
all the meetings that will fairly and
fully represent the Democracy of the
various townships. Then, after free
exchange and comparison of views,
there can be little difficulty in making
suitable selections.
IL will lc seen from the advertisement
nj tb. President, that another meeting
Ut the Clnh will he held tomorrow
evening. We are advised that all the
gentlemen advertised to speak will pos
itively he on hand, and address the as
semblagc. We look 10 see crowded
hOnse, and spirited meeting.
speci q Meeting OF the supervisors
special meeting of the Board of
Supervisors has been called for next
Tuesday. Among other items of busi-
ness, We understand that they will be
asked TO consider the application Of
certain gentlemen, who desire to pre-
vent the new Catholic Cemetery, near
the National road, from being used as q
burial ground. We have been unable to
learn, aud We now desire TO ask what au-
thority the Board of SupervisOrshave for
taking any action in the matter. Aswe
nndei stand it. the case is one in which
the county is not interested. Ger
lain gentlemen have purchased pro-
perty which they propose to use for
hurial purposes. Parties living near
that property object to its being put to
such use on the ground that it will
prove nuisance, not to the county, but
10 them. The case, ~ We are advised,
involves merely tn. Interests of private
individuals; those OF the stockholders
Of the Cemetery On one hand, and OF
the neighboring property owners on
the other What power have the Su-
pflN1SbTS To- lUttiNtHt bttWeCh thOoV
parties and that final settlement which
the Circuit Court should makes Is it
the design to make the county pay the
expenses of prosecuting sn injunction
application for the benefit of private
individuals. Are the taxpayers gem

Of litigation for the special advantage
III few citizens who claim to
ne aggrieYed hy the location of this
Cemetery. We are informed that the
Supervisors can make no final dispose
tion of the case, and that the only result
of their interference will be the as
sumption by the county of the financial
responsibilities of the plaintiff in the
ease. j. this true! and If so, can the
Board with propriety interfere in the
Iuatters
