well qualified and worthy, and we
doubt not will discharge their duties

esReformers" No More.

The Milwaukee Democracy held a
convention in that city, Thursday, for
the purpose of recognizing their par
ty. They insist that great many
loose elements have recently crept into
their ranks in the form of Liberal Re-
publicans, who are using the party for
their personal benefit. They insist
that these intruders have reduced the
former Democratic majority from
5000 to 1000, and there is grave ap-
prohension now felt that the party will
be utterly broken up in that strong
hold unless something is done to recti-
fly abuses. and bring the party under
the guidance of those leaders who are
real and not pretended Democrats.
They repudiate the name of Reformers.
They 60 back to the original Demo
Gratis in name aud purpose, and have
adopted novel mode for reorganiza
ton and nomination; having appointed
general committee Of three from each
ward, to serve two years, and meet al
the time and place appointed and cal
caucuses. At these caucuses IL dele
gates from each ward shall be chosen
to attend nominating conventions.
From these FIVE in each ward shall be
chosen by lot in convention, and The
IS so drawn shall make nominations
then and there. 1t is claimed that this
will prevent the packing of caucuses
and avoid nominating any but straight
Democrats.

CONGRESSMAN WILLARD, of Mi chi
gan, has introduced measure in the
House which entities him to the COM
mend alton of the entire country. /
provides that no member of either
house of Congress, either personally
or by his agent, shall make application
to the President, or head of any de
partment or bureau, for any appoint
mentSto or removal from the civil SER
vice, under penalty of a fine not less
than 500 nor more than $1,000. II
is provided, however, that any member
mag. at the request of the proper au-
thority, give in writing any informa.
ton he may possess respecting the
qualifications Of any applicant for ap-
pointment. Should this measure be-
come law, the post Office will cease
to be a Congressional perquisite, and
Congressman will hereafter have to rest
their chances for reelection entirely
on the faithfulness with which they
have obeyed the wishes of their con-
Stituents.

A.survey of the Democratic Presi-
Dental situation, ascribed to Mr..
Blaine, makes out that Hendricks will
60 into convention with the greatest
individual strength by reason of his
success thus far in avoiding positive
committal on the currency question.
This. it is calculated, would make him
valuable as compromise candidate.
Thurman is placed second, Bayard
third, and Tilden last and no where in
the race. owing to his pronounced
hard money views and the dictatorial
tone assumed by his supporters. Sup
posing Tilden to succeed in obtaining
majority in the Convention, his
chanches for securing a two-thirds
vote are set down as simply nal. 1t is
regarded as highly probable that the
intensity of the divisions in the Con-
vention will necessitate the selection
of some man comparatively OBSCURE
another Franklin Pierce,-whose only
strength will be in the fact that he has
always been a Democrat, and with
whom the party will expect to repeat
it's luck of 1859. The astrologist who
cast this agreeable horoscope may be
wrong ia his conclusions; he is GER
tainly not far from right in promising
bitter and irrecoucilable divisions
among the supporters Of the candi-
dates now prominently mentioned.

THE Democrats of New Hampshire
knew what was demanded of them by
their co-partisans late of the Southern
Confederacy, and they have done it.
They selected as their candidate for
Governor Daniel Marcy,of Portsmouth,
an open sympathizer with the lion,
and man who will be perfectly &C
ceptable to Mr.. Ben Hill, Mr.. }. Ran
dolph Tucker, and all the other gen.
tlemen who have advanced on Washing
ton from Richmond. Mr.. Marcy served
two years in Congress during the war.
During that time he voted against ev-
cry measure for the support of the
Union army, against the repeal of the
fugitive slave act, against the constitu-
tional amendment abolishing slavery,
and lodged the vote on a resolution of
thanks to Gen. Sheridan for his
achievements in the Shenandoah Val
ley. The Boston Traveller we'll says
that "whatever it may be in New
Hamsshire, for the latitude of Georgia
it is the most popular nomination that
could have been made"
