such nominations shall be made and such
platform adopted as that no conserva-

THETTM AMENDMENT!

The bottom is falling out Of something.
and if that something is not the Radical
party, then the result of the election in
New York State, last Tuesday, for men,
bcrs Of the Court Of Appeals, tells lie.
The election passed off quietly, the ne
groes voted, and the result is 10000
Democratic majority in the city, and
$4,000 in the State!
Hurrah for the Fifteenth Amendment!
1t is riddliug the Radical hulk, and has
tening the return Of Democratic govern
mcnt.
In 1868, the Democratic majority for
President was 10, 200; in 1869, the Dem
cratic majority was 2O,e7l. The $4,000
Democratic majority of Tuesday last will,
therefore, answer all present purposes.
And now, let tho West Virginia Dem
ocracy waken up. and in October next
say, New York, Vest Virginia seconds

Mr.. Thomas Hughes presided last night over
meeting held in favor of Mr.. Odger's election for
Southwark and spoke with his usual force and good
sense. 1t is a common cry that the workingmen
need no representatives from their class in Par
lament, because there are already members possess
ing their confidence and urging their claims zeal
ousy. Mr.. Hughes is such member, yet Mr. Hughes
says neither he nor anybody, except workingman,
adequately represent the working classes Apart
from many otherimportant questions that of trades
unionism alone absolutely requires the presence in
in the House of men who are trades unionists, and
who have the feelings, the sympathies. even the
prejudices. of trades-unionists. He supports Mr.
Odger strenuously against Sir Sydney Waterlow,
who is good Liberal, doubt not, but who would
consult the interests of the borough and of the party
by Withdrawing in Mr. Odgers favor. don't sup
pose he will do it. His chances look better to-day
than Mr. Odgers. who cannot but have to sustain as
Mr. Hughes said an uphill fight. For" he contin-
ued, there is here in England as great contempt
for hard work as there in the Southern States of
America although people scarce dare show it. They
must knock that ont of the British public
and teach them that the only thing really honorable
in this world is good hard work" A sentence which
has the genuine Tom Brown ring. One would be
glad to hear it more often echoed and truly
derstood. G.w.s.
