Precisely what the -. Louis convention

We don't think il would be a wild g,ies. to
infer that the move dates back TO the ST

democrats should carry the States or re-
duce the republican majority to a low fig
ure and carry some OF the congressional

of the most doubtful. Brother Mcclellan

didacy for the State senate, a year or two
ago, was successful. His friends have
been industrious in representing that the

Disguised because a candidate is not taken
from Waldo. and that many OF them would
support democrat if taken from this
county. What is more natural, therefore.
than that he should be regarded by the
Iilden managers. outside, As the strongest
candidate and that the barrel of money
should have been drawn upon TO furnish
funds for the charter of steamers and
other etceteras. We don't know that this
1 IS so. But If so, those managers have
made big mistake. Such 4 nomination
is simply burlesque upon reform and
they will see that they would have done
better even to have stuck to Spofford.-
