"REFoRM."-The combined Democracy Of Ore
gon and Forest City, No., enthused at the lat
ter place, last Saturday evening. There were,
we learn, just forty-one Democrats present at
the meeting. One of the principal speakers in
favor of Tilden and Reform" was Clarke Ir-
vine, claim agent, spiritualist, and opium eater.
We can conceive Irvine's intense longing for Re-
form. Republican corruption is appalling; aud
when Irvine calmly sits down in the quiet of his
(water) closet, and thinks over the widows, OF.
phans, and MANNED soldiers who have been plum
dered by rascally Republicans, he doubtless feels
a sense of goueness that surpssses anything he
has experienced since the ''wind" of Bing
Trigg's pistol ball made him below like bull
calf. By the way, if Bing. didn't get killed in
the Rebellion, but is still living, he is, beyond
doubt, champion of Tilden and Reform. 1t
would be an affecting sight to witness a meeting
between him and his fellow-worker, Clark Irvine,
and see them weep on each others shoulder, chaw
each others neck, and blow their noses on each
others coat-tail.

An ABLE JURIsT.-It is we'll known in Aichi-
son as fact, that Judge Hubbard does not own
a law library, and has been known only once
since his election to the bench to look into law
book, and that was to hunt up some authority
in a case in which be was interested, which was
being tried by pro TEN. Judge. He has to bor-
row every law book that he wishes to see, and
he has never borrowed from any lawyer in Atch-
son. The only wonder is that he did not try
the case himself, insisting, upon his own con-
seiousness, that he was not prejudiced. But
Hubbard is SO perfect in the law, that he does
not need to read up. Since the Supreme Courts
are composed of fools, why should Hubbard
study their decisionsi

n The favorite Hubbard tactics, just now,
are telegraphing Hubbard victories in the dele
gate elections, whether he has won them or not.
In Atchison, they are trying to retrieve his de-
feat by bringing the usual local pressure to bear
to force the delegates to vote for an Atchison
man. This means, that if Martin cannot be
nominated, his delegates shall be instructed to
vote for Hubbard. Let them not worry their
souls. If a majority of the delegates are elected
in opposition to Hubbard, he will not be nomina-
ted-and that's the way the thing looks now.
