Sister Patrocinio was then confined. as a

OF distinguished confidence. 1t is commonly

BEATEN.-In vulgar parlancc, ''Pcn-
dleton's goose is cooked" Belmont
and those who control the Democracy
have determined that the masses of the
party shall have no say in the nominal
ton ola candidate. 1t is undoubtedly
true that majority of the party want
Pendleton, but Belmont is Chairman of
the National Committee and a large
holder of government stocks. He don't
like Pendleton's system of finances and
win not suffer him to be candidate.
It is needless to say that Pendleton
would have been nominated if the Con-
vention had been held in any Western
State. The managers knew this and
therefore called it at New York. This
announcement means the defeat of the
Democratic pet. The influence of New
York Democracy, headed by Belmont,
will be the power in hcparty too great
to be overcome. The same influence
which controlled in the last Presiden-
tial nomination will triumph in this,
and the Democracy will probably find
themselves with leader heretofore not
identified with. their party. 1t is stated
on authority that the effort will he
made TO secure the nomination to john
SON, he having proved himself worthy
by his administration. The Democratic
journals have much to say about Radi-
cal bondholders, while they seem to be
blind to the fact that the Democratic
bondholders are getting the control OF
their own organization, for the purpose
Officiating their favorite for the Prcsi-
dency. ae sils. -. 4

publican losses ut the recent election that result
Is not surprising when we consider how little
hope our friends there had Of carrying any por-
ton Of their ticket. 1t Is therefore peculiarly
gratifying TO note some districts in which we
gained On our opponents. Thus, South Murder
Kill, in Kent, cut down the Democratic mai orily
from 265 tor salisbury, in 1866, to ~ for Sey-
ns'nr. In Sussex, Lewcs and Rulioboth Hundred
made u slight gain, reducing the adverse majority
from 90 10 ~.
These are Instances showing That liz Rupubi-
eau party preserves its vitality evcn where the
Hundred, as well as The County aud State, is
against It, 1t is due, likewise 10 the gallant Rcpub-
leans Of Baltimore, Indian River and the Upper
District OF North West Fork, the three anti. lem.
ocraic districts Of Sussex, to testify to their con
iinued mitLiuness. Baltimore Hundred gave "a
majority for Grant and Colfix; Indian River
gave 49, and Upper N. w. Fork !. These are
reduced najorlilrs, il true but they are vet ma
