lustrate what Judge Woodruff Is likely TO 90 by Q
dialogue between a Murphyte and gentleman
who was supposed TO have ".nnuenceu with Judge
Woodruff The Murphyite waited on this GENTLE
man-whom we Will call Smith-to ''see' Judge

somewhat as fOllOws:-
MURPHYTE-Won't you sound Judge Woodru n.

SMITH-How soS
MURPHYITE--Don't you see the law gives the re.

will be all IN our interest and against Holman on
the state ticket; and they have promised give us

to consider the democratic party he will not proba-

THE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN.
The policy Of the leaders OF the democracy in the
