THE Philadel 2hia 4ges quoted as saying
that in one ward in Philadelphia, one hun

the "ten thousand CATS" which we're finally
squeezed down into Sour old cat and another
one.
The Buffalo Express says: "When a Dem
ocratic crowd gathers at Troy and other
points in the interior of the State, they shout

TENEMENT houses have already been leased
in Philadelphia for election purposes by GER

ofboarding houses, these dens viii be crowded

tastes, herded and corralled ike mules, to be
trotted out on the second Tuesday in October.

Blair letter, by : fssw timid people, on the

The President is represented as displeased
with the hasty announcement in Democratic
papers to the effect that he intends to support
Seymour and Blair-iudeed this feeling of
annoyance is so great that prominent Demo.
crats in Washington city assert that they
would not be surprised at positive break on

resentative of the Fourth District ought to do.
His offence is that he bets on the election of
Grant and Colfax.

parts Of this State, and there will be lively
times and not little, bloodshed before the
