The opening of the conglomerate
meeting on Monday evening was rich, If
the prologomena of Nj, Hanson, who
presided, be taken as specimen brick
| His memory must certainly be very de-
fectives Hecannot recollect his blatant
and virulent harangues at Ferguson
Hall, when the uproarious meeting was
held to elect delegates to the first nomi-
mating Convention, and he vociferously
inveighed against any utilization with
others than white men, was for white
mans party only, and white man
government. He secuted the idea OF
anything else, and denounced every
thing and everybody that did not think
the same way. A change has come over
him all at once He was not nominated
for Mayor or any other office, and last
evening was cheek by jowl with Barbour
Lewis, Ed. Shaw and Beaumont. de
knows no distinction now of race or
color. He is enthusiastic in the cause
of the negro, the Hibernian and the
Dutch, and especially of the laboring
man, who he expects to build houses and
perform prodigies of industry without
capital. He's evidently of the chame-
Icons hue, and takes his color from the

Mulvihill, whose Irish short time since

was the most extraordinary frauds per
petrated, cannot be successfully denied
for we saw it with our own eyes Inc
question with us is, why steps were not
taken BY our friends 70 thwart
these villainous designs of the opposing
party. But men of our party slept,
dreaming of an easy victory over a foe
that is watching every opportunity to
slip into Office. The Democratic nom
inees were too sanguine of being elected,
and did not, as they should have.done,
90 to work in the country to arouse up
the people and show them the impor-
lance of coming out on election day.
The Democratic Executive Committee
are confident Of carrying the county by
a large majority in the coming election
for Judges, with the cooperation of the
people. We shall look with confidence
to a grand rally Of the ironsides Demo
cracy of this county, who were never
known to brook defeat long.
