Presidential,

Tho following extract from q pri-
vato lottor from one of tho largest
wholesale houses in Baltimore, TO q
gentleman at Eosloy Station, indicates
the favor with which tho st. Louis no.
mination is received by tho business
portion of tho United States. AS o
general rulo, tho commercial portion
of tho world Wow political party, or
it's standard bearers from q business
standpoint, and will cast thcir votes
and influence for tho party or mon,
who promise tho greatest prosperity
to their business. For this rca-
son tho extract is valuable, and stron-
gthons tho hopo of victory in NovomN
Der. Tho lottor says: 81 consider both
nominations n concession to the do
mands of tho bcttor class OF the people.
Wo had the advantage Of seoing the
hand of our advorsarics, and mado an
equally popular but positive nomina-
ton against negative tickot.
Tildcn is positivo-able to COM
mand, and carried Now York against
Tammany--he can carry it certainly
with Tammany. Hendricks is positive
and can lead whero VIC want him in
Indiana. havo seen two dispatches
to day from responsible parties, that
say he oan carry Indiana. With In
diana and Now York, thcro is no doubt
of the result. The betting mon here
are active TO tako bots on Il. and H..
but havo to give odds-75 to 100 be.
ing freely offered. I am 80 confident
of tho result, that I to day, employed

Primary Election.

Friday, the 18th day of August next, is the
time fixed by the County Executive Commit
toe, for holding the primary olcction. Every
member of the Clubs should attend these
meetings and cast his vote for the man Of his
choice for each and every Office in the County.
Those Democrats who have not yet joined
my Club, should do so; in order to be able to
take part in the election. This plan is GER.
tainiy the fairest and most unobjcctionable
ono that could possibly be devised for bring
ing out candidates, and every man, who is
not chronic fault finder, will certainly yield
to the will of the majority, and zeaously
support tho candidates put forward by his
party. We know that it is impossible to
please every body, and some will find fault
with the present plan but four>frths of the
Democrats Of the County arc in favor of it.,
and it is bound TO he a success

tho fHst pago Of our paper, is tho fin
cst ST papor5go have ever read. 1t
il boil nd cloaion all tee vital ques-
tions Of the day, while it lays bare all
the rottenness aed venality of the Re
publican party and the National ad-
ministration. Tho results of tho war
and oil tho reconstruction measures
arc accepted rs finalitios which loavos
tho bloody shirt out OF tho question. -
Reform is MADE tho great issue, and
tho character and groat abilities of
the mon put forward as standard
bearers, gives every assurance that, il
successful, every pledge and dcmand
will bo faithfully carried ont. The
financial plank, upon which the Re
publicans had confidently hoped to soc
the Democracy split and go to pieces
gives universal satisfaction. Unlike
tho Republican platform, there is not
an ovasive sentence in it. Wo trust

The Eastern Troubles.

The war between Turkey, on the one side
md Servia and Montenegro on the other, is
agitating the whole European powers, and is
likely to involve them in the greatest war of
tho age. Servia and Montenegro, subjects
Of Turkey, rebeled on account of improper
tsxation and religious persecution. They
declared war against Turkey, and several
important battles have been fought.
