The situation.

The Press charges that the Republi.
cans have hired Democratic to leave
the county in order to secure an ad~
vantage at the ensuing election. We
think, if this be true, it is saying very
little for the members of its party.
When that paper insinuates that such
men as Il G. Dice, |. |. Dempsey, and
a host OF other as good and honorable
men, have been, or are, Influenced tC
leave the county through the use oil
money, it only rebounds on the head
of that oassociation of gentlemen--so
called"
The fact about the matter is, that
the action of the recent Democratic
County Convention was SO at variance
with and against the masses of the
party. that men who had any intention
of leaving, have put into execution
their previous arrangements, withou
reference to the day of election, which
would only require that they stultif.
every principle of fair dealing in thei
party, and vote for set of men VIII
are not the choice of their party, an
only obtained nominations by fraut
and trickery.
