The Pendleton Democrats are con-
soling themselves with the reflection
that while Pcndleton could not be
nominated, Seymour cannot be elected.
The editor of the Kansas Chief
thinks that General Buckner, of the
Louisville Courier acts ungrateful in
not going for Grant, rs Grant event
for" him-at Fort Donelson.
The Pendleton escort went back
home tired, ragged and dirty. They
got 800 apiece for cheering for Pen

DEMOCRATIC papers are advertis-
