DEMOCRkTIC MEETING.

We would call the attention OF the mem
bers Of the county committee to the call at
the head of this paper and urge upon them
the necessity Of being present. il Deces
ssry that full delegation be selected to
attend the State Convention, and doubly
important that arrangements be made for
the fall csmpuign in this county. We
are satisfied that the basis Of this county is
democratic This is proved by the fact that
we now have q democratic Board Of Super
visors, and if We are properly organized, and
bring out every democratic vote, poll our
full strength and see that every doubtful
voter is called upon We can surely carry inc
county for the democracy, and tins can ohiy
no done b- a ,horougb soorkiug organization.
It ia further important that this meeting Dc
all attended as matters pertaining to the
new order of things under the new constitu-
ton will have to be considered at
this time Also system of organization
for the townships will be considered, and it
is important that every township be repre-
sented. If the member cannot attend him
sell, let him send some substitute, that all
these matters may be considered in full
meeting, and sten properly acted upon in
every township in the county.
A GROWING HEM whistling woman,
q growing hen are neither fit for gods nor
men" is one of the good old adges of our
forefsthers, and we should be doing an out
| rage TO question their decision. Another
old proverb says "the proof of the pudding
is in the eating, and we imagine before
friend Union two that ssme) has got
through the portion Of pudding we have
prepared for him he will have quite as much
of the proof of its quality as will be good Tor
him. He may make charges, nothing Is
easier, he mny display lines of type and
head lines of lower case, but he can't show
the documents. The fact is he has been so
accustomed TO looking unpaid lsYndresses
! bills in the face, before he began washing
on his account aud uselessly gazing at un-
paid whisky accounts that bis mind has
| become somewhat obfLscsted and he don't
exactly know whether his last whisky bill is
| his or ours 1t is his-the
telegraph bills he psrsdes are
the unpaid witnesses of his success as
journalist, ard unless the party he repre-
SCENTS should liouids,e they will remain IN,
paid until the day of judgement, or as that
may be very busy day. we will say the day
after. Unfortunately for friend Haverstiek
We have a record that we dare refer to, and
| ne has one which be dare not, that is all the
difference. We are standing on the good
old platform which served for our fathers
and our foretsthers expressed thusly put
up or shui up. and he is reclining as
gracefully as such an object can on heap
of rotten picke,s piled into a heap by
expectant office holders. We want nothing
to him all is necessary, we fight for the
party, he fights for the plunder. We are
independent, having made our money in the
opposition, he is at his wits end because
be has failed to make money while his party
was in power We are after right, he is
after riches. We are in the present minority
| Things are changing it is natural. We
pity but cannot ca ole.
