every here discussed, with much yehmencc
and guSto, is, who will he the next Governor
Groome or Hamilton. Now that the city has
been carried for Carroll by fraud and deception,
the most ardent of his So-called friends piior 10

scarcely ever mention his name in connection

Groome could not carry a solitary waul in this

There Is a widespread dissatisfaction here IL
moug fair-minded men and politicians At the
action of the Convention that lately ruled cut
the three Hamilton delegates that were fairly
elected from the sixth, thirteenth and niae-
ieenth wards. contrary 20 Democratic usage
II is confidently claimed that this petty pitec
of tyranny aud injustice viii rebound to .he
advantage of Hamilton in the counties, where
there are more fairness and generosity than
prevail here among those who manage matters
political. The Ring made almos; clean sweep
in the contest for the Legislature last Tuesday,
and well they might, for they had the Cover
nor Of the State. the Treasurer and last but
most important, the high Sheriff and his host
Of deputies. who took an active par, in the
contest. You can little imagine in your seclui-
cd, primitive part Of the State, wha, an immense
influence the Sheriff has here over the thou
sands of saloon keepers cigar vendors and
others who are in the habit of violating the
Sunday law, when he sees fit TO drag his high
Office down into the 9th of street politics.
There is an immense amount OF dissatisfaction
prevailing here against the dominant faction,
and there is n decided feeling of resistance to
many nominations that have been made aud
likely to take place. 1t is being whispered a.
bout that after the nominations are all compile
ted, many leading Democrats propose to bring
out full ticket of thoroughly capable men of
their party, selecting such Of that Kind as are
already nominated, and substituting for others
that are supposed To he unfit. men Of the right
stamp, and that the Republicans, who know
that none but Democrats can be elected in this
city, and are interested in having competent
men in every position, will give an undivided
support to the movement. Iou will remember
that there was Il very bitter contest gotten up
last Fall against Gov. Swami by the Ring and
how trinmphanty he came out of the conflict
with all his colOrs flying. The people we're
wild with the most unbounded delight and
hailed him rs their political Moses who had de-
livered them from the CALLING bondage of the
Ring, whose back was broken beyond the pos
sibility ola reunion. The quid-nuncs proclaim
ed all along through the Spring and early Sum
mer that the old charger would be on the war
path ut the proper time. and as he had the
leader of the Ring npder his control would
show us thing or two when the fight for
Governor came off We waited very mpati-
entity as we were told to do antil aftc: his SON
in-aw, Gen Latrohe was nominated for mayor,
and the next day every body was on the qui
vivc expecting to hear the martial neigh of the
veteran, but up to this time. he has never even
snorted or Sneezed once, and no one expects he
will now. He has left his supporters ut the
last election, entirely at the mercy of their foes
and his but few months since. Here | am
forcibly reminded of the old nursery ditty,
which you doubtless thought with me- very
pretty in your days Of frocks and aprons.
The Lion and the Unicorn fought for the crown,
The Lion whipped the Unicorn all around town.
a parley then was held and the Lion just said
The things that don't wish for, yoursown shall
besnade.
