Rollersville Correspondence.

In last weeks Messenger Van gets off what
he no doubt supposes to be sort of conun-
drum, thusly: "Bray, Bray, who is Brayg"
beg leave to inform the egotistical, long ear
ed enquirer, that Mr. Thos Bray is the pres
ent Republican nominee for county clerk, an
honest intelligent farmer; is not q political
harlequin like Van and some of his friends.
who curse the old Chappaqua pumpkin and
dead beat raiser one day,and cheer Justify for
him the next. Mr.. Bray was one of Uncle
SANS "Boys in Blue;" was on the other side
of the "chssm," looking after some of Vans
Ku Klux friends, who then went under the
more pleasing name Of knights of the Col
den Circle"
Wonder if the editor of the Messenger wont
turn another political "hip fop," and "rRah
for O'Conor', as soon as he hears of himp
Some friend ought to kindly take Van upon
his knee, and relate to him the "charming le-
gend" of the straight out Democratic Conven-
tion at Louisville, Kentucky; how they met
and "resoluted," and how they nominated the
great and good, noble O'Conor. Also mention
to him the "funny incident of a train Geo.
Francis) being run out of the hall and off the
track, as an illustration of the time-honored
democratic idea of "liberty of speech Our
friend Van win be as delighted, when he
hears of all this, as young seal, when sailor
"tickles" him under the fipper, with the soft
end of harpoon.
Warren P. Noble and My Railroad held
forth Monday evening, in Rollersville, to the
"undismayed wing" Unlike the blast upon,
the bugle OF Sir Roderic Dhu. 'ldy Railroad
blowing did not seem from surface indica-
tions, to be worth ten thousand men, "skace-
ly" There was no genuine, Democratic en-
thusiasm shown. any Railroad" might
have had a bottle or so of it with him, but
there could not have been enough to anywhere
near go around. There Is none sold now in
Rollersville, and thus it happened that "crow
diet," had to be taken plain, without any en-
thusiasm (?) to wash it down. The occasion
was almost as solemn as the burial of Sir
John Moore. They did essay cheer, but it
was feeble, ended much like a melancholy
vail for the 'lost cause" Onlyo one "Ohapps-

of, who was formerly Republcan-One of the
weak kneed variety. Several Of the "straight
unterrifed" say that they will not go "honest
old Horace, DIN, him." (ths last generally to
themselves, but sometimes out quite Ioud)
Some of them say that somehow they don't
seem to take much interest in this fslPs cleo
tons. They will, however, go for any Rail-
road and the "TaytOr End" of the Liberal
Democratic County nominees, but in Novem-

vote for H. G.
The Iberality of the "Liberal Democracy" |
TO their several hundred Liberal Republicans,
in their Liberal County Convention, was on
the same gorgeous scale" as the proposed
liberalitv of a small street arab, who, upon
limping up to another said: Jim, gimme a
bite of your apple, and '0iH stOuo yOU my
