no mercy. No sacrifice appears to be sufi-
cient to satisfy their rigorous demands
nothing short of self immolation upon the
party altar is considered fulfilling ones duty

to Democratic principles beyond the cavil of

fact that he has been twice ignominiously
defeated for the position which he sought

Dukes he has received for his temerity and
impudence in striving for an official position
for which he is about as well qualified as

CoFFRorH's physiognomy reminds us of
an old fashioned .'spuke." Some of our
readers may not know what a ''spuke' is.
1t is made by cutting the profile of a mans
face on pumpkin, following it out and
placing lighted candle inside. An intelli-
gent countenance, truly.
ALTHOUGH there is no truth in the report
that Seymour and Blair will /" withdraw in
favor OF more acceptable candidates. yet it is
now definitely settled that the people will
not insist upon their emerging from the Sc
ciusion OF private life, and that they will be

Hon. E. ID. WHEELER,

The persistent efforts of the Democratic
party of this District to foist that man Cof-
froth upon US as our Representative in Con-
sress, after having been twice "spewed' out
by the people, are extremely reprehensible.
The very men who placed him in nomination
would not trust him with the transaction of
their private business, yet they are willing to
jeopardize the public veal by running him
for Congress. That Coffroth's habits of life
are such as to utterly unfit him for the posi-
ton, even though his lack of talent and edu-
cation did not incapacitate him, is a fact too
palpable to require reiteration. We want
our Representatives to occupy seat on the
floor of the House instead of berth in a
street gutter. The amount of the business
is that the Democrats had to nominate some
one to fill out the ticket, and as Cofforth was
anxious to be sled like a lamb to the slaugh-
ter" and was not good for any thing else,
the. Convention was willing he should make
a martyr of himself. He is simply marker
for candidate. Sargent will beat him to
death. --.--t-.

CAN'T TAKE TIE H1Nr.-Some people are
remarkable for their obtuscness. Coffroth,
for instance, is extremely dull and slow of
perception. He is now making his third
Congressional attempt, with even less chan
ces of success than ever before. Twice the
people have informed him. in unmistakable
terms, that they had no use for him, but he
can't take the hint. He reminds us of a
young gentleman Of our acquaintance who
would persist in paying his addresses to a
lady, although he was obnoxious to her as
well as the balance of the family. Finally
the old gentleman kicked him out of the
house, and he discontinued his visits. Upon
being asked the cause. he replied, "Well.
received hint that my company wasn't
agreeable" Coffroth hasn't got sense enough
to "see it."
