tEIDllfOAtO Oldbe
The fight among the Democrats of the
Ninth District is not entirely on account Of
the dissatisfaction with the nominee, and
with the mode OF his nomination. There ia
a strong jealousy Of Seneca county, which
lies at the bottom of it all. Crawford is
deteJmiDCd that Seneca shall not have the
candidate, in any event. Our friends who
expect Democratic votes for Gibson in Oraw-
ford county reckon on a false basis. No
Seneca county man, of either party, can
receive, any support from the Crawford
Democracy f..5 -..-.
The Democratic masses of the District
say Noble has made concessions enough 10
Crawford, and they will hear of no further
humiliation on. bis psrt. They say any
further propositions must now come from
Crawford and nust lie accompanied by
substantial fruits meet for repentance.
They choose to consider Crawford an i'm
practicable big, baby, blubbering over its
defeat in the Convention, standing in a cor
ner to pout and wait to be cosxed. Aud
they swear Crawford shall have nc more
eoaxing from them but shall be soundly
