The Democlatic. leaders, who have
decided that the best policy of political
management for the present year is a
revival of the old organization with its
peculiar ideas, machinery, methods,
and preiudices, are rendering at least
one important public service. They
are showing that beneath the Greeley
cloak of 1872 the genuine C6pperhead
livery of the modern Democracy was
kept intact, and that all is needed to
reveal it now is to strip off the absurd
disguise which brought with Il such.
merited punishment last year.

PRESENCE of mind combined with

F. Mills of White Pine, stating tina: Gal
mer & Salisbury have abandoned the
idea Of constructing the E!ko and Ham
,lton Narrow Gauge Railroad. This Is
no more than We expected from the first.
When the skirmishinS was going
on in the Legislature over that bill
it was current talk on the street and
in the lobby, that there was ''job ="
at the bottom of the project, which
Job was something in the nature of a
scheme to sell out the franchise to
Gilmer and Ssulsbury so that they
might not be disturbed by any rail
way line Running OF their stages.
We tackled certain Senator who
was " on the inside" and asked him
about this rumor and he looked as
virtuous as a vestal virgin and swore
there was nothing in 1t.

special qualifications for that position know that
he will add much to the interest of its editorial
columns. AS one of the Editors of the Specta-

in editorial duties, and showed peculiar qualiica

gentleman of fine intelligence improved by Gull
ture, and yields facile, witty and humorous
pen, which will not fail to interest the intelligent
readers of the Chronicle. We are pleased that he
is again connected with the Press of the State and
hope that his connection with it will not again
be severed
