Thursday last.
A man named Clark, residing in this
place, stole pair of boots from the store

on Sunday evening.
The ladies connected with the fair of
the new German Catholic church are ac-
lively engaged making preparations for
that event. 1t promises to be one of the
grandest ever held in this place. I advise
those of your readers who want to put in
a good time about the holidays to drop in
and see it.

The past week has been prolific of at

the ground, and of course there is plenty
of Shedding. In the matter of local items,
it has not been quite SO prolific. Howev-

The Cause of the Democratic
Eailura.

The Cause of the Democratic
- Failure.
The different factions Of the
Democratic party are engaged
in a very warm war Of words
each faction blaming the other
for the defeat Of the party, and
telling some very hard things
about each other. We don't
propose to interfere, having
heard of the fate OF persons
who mixed in family quarreis.
So far as We are concerned,
they are welcome 10 fight It
out on that line II 1t takes all
winter.
But there are other reasons
than this Wholesale treachery
of the Democracy to each
other why they made such a
signal failure in the late cam
paign. The people do the vot-
ing, and they have but a slight
interest in the quarrels of poll
ticians, save where they ex-
pose some scheme of rascality.
Aside from the rebellious
record of the party, their dis.
position to repudiate the war
debt, and the unpopularity Of
their candidates, the action
and votes of their members Of
Congress has contributed not a
small portion to the defeat of
the party. Much of the legis-
lation for tho past four years
has not given satisfaction 10
the people, and it was brought
forward by Democratic stump
erS and their press; but an ex.
animation of the Congression-
al records has invariably re-
vealed the Democratic mem.
bers deeper IN the mud than
the Republicans were in the
mire. Instead of working with
their better judgment for
s0dia;a healthy legislation, their
whole time and talent has
been devoted to legislaling the
Republican party into disre-
pute. So anxious were they
to accomplish this end that
they exposed themselves, in
OVERRIDING the work. Will they
learn anything by experienced
If we Judge their future by the
past-no.
