An industrious cleaner Of political straws
1 could yesterday have laden himself with
sufficient TO build bulwarl1 against tenn
pest, or thatch a roof wide as the Boston
Coliseum. We give few, and those who
care to may easily test their strength.
The young Democracy will nominate a
straight ticket. This they are determined
on, and exult over the opportunity the Lib
crl conference afforded them of doing this
under the guise of attempted coalition
| with the conservative elements, the failure
Of which they will. not admit is upon their
shoulders.
! At a conference Of this class, in well
known law Office on St. Charles street yes
tsrday, it was firmly resolved to listen to
70 further talk Of fusion, the chief speaker
declaring: "We viii get all the white votes
anyhow, and by getting our ticket in the
| field first we will put them (the Liberals)
in default, just as we did by running the
united State ticket
Of course this policy would not shut the
door against the entrance of Liberals upon
terms equally as generous as those con
coded in forming the State ticket referred
to.
That estimable young gentleman, Mr.. L.
A. Witt, ia the candidate of the Young
Democracy for Mayor, but the graybeards
Of the party each knows man better fitted
for the place. Messrs Goldman, Michel,
Ellis, Whitney and Kelly are spoken of for
juigships on this Last Ditch ticket, and the
aspirants for clerkships of the courts are
as numerous as the leaves which strewed
the shores of Valparaiso or some other
classic spot. Those clerks who have got
the power Of naturalizing cur beloved
foreign born brethren, and during their
arduous labprs Of the past four years have
laid by smooth penny" are running
ahead.
But let it not be considered that the
''young Dems" have it all their own way.
The old uns are little inclined to be left
out in the cold. Grave and reverend seig
