The Naugatuck Sentinel (Grcelcy) remon-
slraies with the Democracy for keeping up
their old organization and holding fast to
their old name. We italcise reference to
the record of that party which must seem

"The fact is, Greeley will prove formid-
able among republicans, in proportion as
the democratic party loses its identity in
the great upheaval that has taken place.
