The Democrats are satisfied with the work
at Il leSki yesterday. II is thought that the
hearts Of certain Republicans were touched
10 soft sppts-approached, as it were, by way
of the. pocket.nerye. When asked il they
had more money than they wanted, if their
pockets were -upcomfortably stuffed, they
were impelled to answer in the negative.

Both Cary and Powell make il a point to
out this idea frequently and vigorously {:
" The Republican speakers" they say, claim
that The country is suffering from surplus
of money-:bat there is too much money.
Now, is there any one in this vast and intel
ligent audience who has too much money !?

Of course nobody rises to bis feet, and as
the ancient Democrat at ZsIeski puts it.,
"Thar's whar we have 'em." The hnmor

would be were there not danger that some

thought may have occurred to him that he
had something to do with their roosting low
in the time that has past and forever gone.
"We roasted low then, but now we're in
the topmost branches, and mean to stay
there" continued the venerable Democrat,

"Well carry Vinton county," put in an
other.
Sand the State, too"
"Of course"
s.But We must have Vintou county by
from four to five hundred majority"
"And We will.".
"Now, General" said another, turning to
that distinguished man, who was just then
looking TOR his carpel-bag, "you must carry
Hamilton county by two thousand majority"
"We'I try"
"Sakes alive! we can't let you off with
t 70 thousand. Old Hamilton must roll in
livelier than that; say FIVE thousand, Gene

"In making estimates we must put them
at the lowest figure. so as to be on the safe
side" said the General.
All commended the wisdom OF this remark.
and declared that their great leader was
safe prophet, whose estimates could be de-
pended upon.

"l've been a Democrat all my life," said
the first. 81 was a Democrat through the
war, when it was hell, hemp, or Canada for
all of US who tried to speak our sentiments"
General Cary made no reply to this. Du-
ring the war he was far separated from those
who flock to hear bis words of wisdom now.
In moments of enthusiasm this little thought
seems to be lost sight Of by many who did
not take large amount Of stock in the win
ming side of Che war.
"Mr. Cary" said another, "the Radical
papers are just full of abuse of you. They
abuse you even, for being temperance
man."
The General laughed. Being man used

bis broad shoulders. "It don't hurt me-"
