The desertion Of the old Democratic organ OF
the Northwest, and it's subsequent persistent
vacuum which many Of the oId-time partisans Of
that faith would like to see filed. Tho recent
elections have had the tendency to arouse new
anxiety in this direction. ana to increase the ina-
that city few days ago committee OF
politicians OF the old-school Democracy
Was named to wait upon Mr. Storey to see il he
could not be induced to return his paper to it's
first love- Or at least. to force him to be respect
fu in his dealings with the party aud its leaders.
Whether tho Committee ever waited upon the
geutlotnan or not has not been learned. But
one thing is certain, that there is growing
feeling il faTor Of . paper to succeed the Times,
not onlv on account OF its political course, bat
for other reasons.
Clark street was the scene Of no little excite
ment about o'clock yesterday afternoon grow
ing out of dispute between wel-Inonn halter
and I'll equally 'yell-known dealer in beer, in re-
gard to their rights upon the sidewalk. Tho
halter, whose store is above the beer Dealers
business place. had placed several empty boxcs
against one OF the basenen windows, which shut
out portion Of sunlight. Tic beer-mau
objected, demonstrated, but to no avail. His
female assistant took part in the dispute shc did
SO much US tho idea of having her
beauty cut or from public admiration. She took
the law in her nande, climbed from her dungeon
to the sidewalk, md the way she handled those
boxes in transferring them to the gutter would
have done credit to an ordinary drayman or
baggage master. This drew crowd around the
premises, and rnomcntanly the sidewalk
was blocked; and this infariatcd po1-marRed
clerk, who rushing from tho hat-storo played
havoc with the boot-blacks and news-boys as
Bemb1ed there. This called policeman to tho
scene. but only too late to catch glimpse Of
what had happoned. The woman's solution Of
the difficulty was accepted as final. The dealer
in head-gear continues to hat the batleae, and
the dealer ii beer continues to supply tho
"b1icks y for not only his neighbour hAts. but
tho hats Of all customers.
