Selling Out.

The Democracy of Illinois, adopt
ing the advice of the n. Y. World,
are moving to throw aside the bogus
colors they have been wearing for a
few years past. and are about to adopt
the old Democratic colors. The Chi
cago Tribune, though processing al
legiance to no party, being in fact
the ablest and most influential Of the
papers which have advocated the no.
party dodge to break up the Repub-
lican organization, gives the follow
ing account Of . significant offer by
Mr.. Hesing, editor of the leading
German paper Of the West, to con-
tract for the transfer of all the Ger
man votes in Illinois to the Democrat
ic party:
It is understood that Mr.. A. C.
Hesing and Gen. Leib, had a confer
ence, Tuesday evening, with a nun
Der of Democratic editors, with a
view Of hearing their opinions upon
the practibility of recognizing the
Democratic party in this State. The
meeting, as we hear, was held at the
Sherman House, in room on the up
per floor, late at night Among the
editors present were Ed. Merritt, OF
the Springfield Register, Whitaker
Davidson, of the Lewiston Denaocro,
Clay, Of the Carrollton Gozette, Brown,
of the Joliet Signal, and half dozen
others. Mr.. Hesing strongly advocat-
ed recognizing of the party, say
ing that the Democratic party WAS
the only one which could keep down
the puritanical element and guaran-
tee the peculiar freedom the Ger
mans demand. He had no faith in
an Independent party, and promised,
If the Democratic party were placed
upon its feet again, to give it oil the
German votes, feeling confident that
it would carry The State in the next
general election by $4,000 majori,y.
After long chat, it was finally de.
ternined 10 await the action Of the
Independent Convention 10 he held
IN Springfield, June 10.
With these evidences Of disinteg-
ration Of the new party elsewhere, its
managers in Iowa continue to wear
the mask, in hope Of winning few
local contests At the next general
election, after which they will no
doubt in like manner sell out to the
