Wrangles Of the Democracy--.Assur
ances Of Republican Victory.
The local political lutI continues. The deaf
calm will probably not change into strong
stiff breeze much before the middle Of Scptcm
bcf. At present the political brain is busiet
with the dull, unnteresting details Of organic
ing fnr the campaign. Il is season of preli1n
fnaries, and preliminary organizing is carried or
pretty much as it has been ever since the twt
great parties came into existence, only on
larger scale each succeeding campaign. Knot.
Of politicians get together and discuss the PROF.
poets. Everybody is buoyed up with hope
ALI solcmnly determine that the country is 10
De savcd and then thcy adjourn. These meet
mgs refer more particularly to the Dem
ot1ats. Scarcely day passes With
3ut meeting Of some sort. It matters
scv little Of what sort it is, for
rarely is anything accomplished. The Repub-
liyans are holding no meetings at headquarters
Their State Committee is quietly but thor
oughly pushing matters throughout the State,
and no time is wasted in holding meetings for
the airing Of personal opinions. No one can
discover that the real work Is not done Just as
well.
Secretary OF the Republican State Committee,
resumed his duties Ut headquarters in the Grand
Pacific yesterday. He is looking and feeling
much better after his recent Eastern trip. Dur
ing the day he entertained George i,
Sanders, OF Springfield, Mr.. Judd of the
Kdiludy Age and other visitors. Among the
local lights who dropped in at Headquarters
were Charley Farwell, Gen. Chetlain, George S.
Bangs, James r Root, John Lyle King, and
others. The work of 1ettcr-writing and send
Ing out campaign documents formed the princi-
pal business Of the day. Among the political
documents which the State Committee is scat
tcris,g with judicious discretion is TaE TR1B-
INES extra containing TIden's record, Gen.
tTuttlc's recent Davenport Speech IA Sol !
,livr's Reasons for Leaving the Democratic Par
ty,''-anu the Cincinnati Gazette extra contain /!
ing screral illusions to the crooked records J
o. the Democratic candidates.
1t is thought at the Republicans will hold
GRAND NAsS-MEET1SG
early in September. They have wisely conclud-
ed tnat it IS to car1yo to work up any great
amount Of enthusiasm Just At present while the
completely at G stand-stiu. After the harrests,
when the farmers are through with their sum-
mers work, and have time to look after pol
ttics, public meetings will be the rule and not
the exception. Then there will be enthusiasm,
