Tme-honorcd principles Of Democracy in New

tho Ring Democracy. He is The present incumbent,
and Is up for reelection, while the Independent or
reform candidate is Mr.. Eneas Fitzpatrick wealthy
ana respectable citizen, doing business in New

SPLIT IN rus DEMOCRATIC RANKS
Is widely extended, and although but little importance
attached to It by the Clevclandites, tho interest
which is manifested by hundreds OF the populaco in
the district would indicate that something more Is to
be feared than tie regular nomination Of the Iepub
cen party.
