FLoUNDERINa.-The "split" which
Schurz and Trumtull thought to induce in
the Republican party embraces only regi-
ment or two of disappointed politicians and
Office seeking scrubs who are an element OF
discord and weakness to any party they
join. But the split in the Democratic
party, caused by the Vaccinations of some
of their own leaders, and the schemes OF
their Liberal Republican allies, is formbid-
able, and evidently cannot be healed
While that class of Southern politicians,
who act more from the dictates of impulse
than principle, together with Fernando
Wood, Seymour and the Blair tribe of wire
pulers, are determined to force the endor-
sement of Greeley at Baltimore, they are
met with defiance by such chiefs as Vor-
heese, Toombs, Stephens. Pomeroy, For
sytbe, Moseby and Story, who declare they
cannot support Greeley in any event. and,
will bolt if he is endorsed at the Monu-
mental City. And while number Of
democratic" State Conventions have been
induced to endorse Greeley, and numer-
Gus politicians have committed themselves
to his support beyond recall, the telegraph
yesterday informed us that over two
thousand prominent Democrats, represent
ing number of States, have held caucus
in Washington and resolved to call another
convention and nominate Democratic can
didates in opposition to Horace in case he
is nominated at Baltimore. So, in any
event, it Is evident that the Democracy are
badly split up, and their forces scattered
and disheartened The Sacramento Bee,
after alluding to the contentious OF the
Democracy, forms the following conclusion,
which we submit on its merits, with the
remark that so far as the Liberal Repub-
licau faction is concerned, there is precious
little of it, and unless it can absorb all of
the Democracy, 1t cannot amount to "row
of pins" in the Presidential fight:
The truth is, the Democratic party was
never so completely demoralizcd as now.
No one can tell what course the National
Convention will take, and members do not
know who they want to vote for. 1t looks
as though the party is about to abandon
its organization and privileges and become
absorbed by the rival Republican factions.

circuit school superintendent, who had
charge of the posse charged with numbering
the prisoners Hale and Tucker, arrived in

is thought, to induce him to declare martial
law. Citizens of the county also came down
to prevent, if possible, any such contingency.
Dobson and his associates, who waived an
examination, and whose bail was fixed at

TO commence their contest it was estimated
that fully ten thousand were within the

JAY GOULD AND TOM YOJ-SG.

Although it had beth announced that
three OF our home horses would trot with
JAY Gould, when the time came around there
was but one whose owner was willing to
make the trial. This was Mike Zcigler,
whose brown horse T. l.. Young was such
favorite at.the Cleveland meeting last week.
The race between the horses was alternated
with that of the Maid and Lucy, and though
the time did not compare with theirs, still
there was no little interest felt in the way it
should result. Jay Gould was driven by his
owner, Mr.. Dohlc. while Tom Young was
driven by Mr.. T.. I. Oliver, one of the lessecs
of the track.
All three of the heats were won by Gould,
though in the second and third heats it was
Il clcScIy-contcSte race, and Young was only
htatrn by il tric. The time made in each
race was rs follows:
First heat -IIaIl-mlc. 1:15l mile, 2:2S.

rnE sscosp HEAT.
When the second heat was called the two
horses came sweeping down the stretch In
splendid style. Lucy was perhaps a neck
ahead, but the aIaid had the inside track as
an equivalent. 1t was rs fair a start rs any
one could expect, but the judges thought diff
lerent, and called them back. The crowd
was dissatisfied with this, and gave express
sion to its feelings by Kisses and groans and
cries Of "Shame!'' And when the Maid
was driven past she was greeted the same
way. The sympathies were wholly with
Lucy by this time, and they thought she
was being treated badly, besides being un-
fortunate.
The next start was "go," although the
Maid led by half length, and the two horses
flew down the track like IN arrow shot from
bow. Before they had reached the first
quarter Lucy was a little in advance, and her
driver could have easily passed her rival, but
instead of that he drew to one side to give
her more room. They passed the quarter in
34s seconds, side by side. They passed the
half mile in 1904, still side by side, and side
by side they came in under the line in 2:lI4,
with the Maid only neck i'll advance. Tlis
was enough, however, to give her the heat.
g.. THE THIRD HEAT.
The lust heat was neither so fast nor so
closely contested as either of the others.
Both horses seemed little tagged when they
made their start, and though they kept to-
gfther pretty well and made extraordinary
time for any others than themselves, there
was little disappointment when the time
was announced. The first quarter was made
in 80 seconds, the half mile in Ito, and the
heat in 2:2l. There was a perceptiblc slack
ing up iii the last half mile. and the Maid
clme In three lengths in advance, without
ptlurt
