DEMOCRATIC MEEIISG.-we called in at the Court
House Saturday afternoon the Democratic meet,
ing operate. We found very respectable crowd there
both numbers and appearance. The better class Of
the party seemed to be running the thing and If light
ming had happened to strike them did Paul upon
certain occasion and they had walked with their ideas
changed they would have made fine looking set of Re-
Publicans.
Henshall in the Chair, running the machine II it
were not for Henshal the Democracy would not know
what do. He pushes things He not only put the mo-
tons and decides points of order but he frequently call
ed the fellows up him. suggested motions for them to
make and pointed modest fellows in the crowd who
evidently waiting he chosen delegates In front
Of him were portraits Tilen and Hendricks
tinted cardboard.
motion was made to ratify the nomination of Tiden
and Hendricks Barney ODriscol TO speak in OPP
position the motion, when the point was raised tha
as he opposed the of the party his name had
been dropped from the rolls. SO Barney was pitched
overheard and subsidized John NOrme was also pitched
over the Democratic by the seat of his rowsers
for having mixed too freely in the Republican delegate
elections and especially taken active interest in the
Judgesfp contest John looked if he had been grass
hoppered But if mixing in Republican primaries is an
offence Punishable by being read out Of the party large
proportion of the Democrats of Wolf River liable TO
the same penalty and few Democrats in the other
Townships.
Delegates appointed the State, Congre ssiona
and Judicial Conventions after which speeches were in
order We left at this point, but learned that Col Eye
made rousing reenback speech-this after endorsing
Tilden and Hendricks with their hard money platform
and hard money letters Of acceptance They didn't read
the Colonel out of the party. He is able to kick out
whenever he feels like it.
We understand that Barney oDriscoll intends making
Peter CoopeTspeeches.

FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.

Since heard from Highland has been stirred to its
centre The primary election of saturday August 5th
was quite interesting episode in little world
real live, expectant Congressman was present adding
zest to the occasion but the absent candidate got
most the votes felt that the old saying repeated
itself Distance lends enehantment."
The Democratic rally of August lath very quiet
One remarked that the Methodist Church would have
been very suitable place for their meeting We have
the conclusion though, that our Democrats want
t hold back their candidates until after the election just
as all them will wish they had done with Tilden and
Hendricks and their hard money embrogliO after No
vember next
We Highlanders are for resumption. Resumption
must come in some Whether the great silver dol
lar shall be at par with the tiny gold not there
must be a hard basis to work upon When the diamond
point cannot cut the glass the glass must be diamond
itself We believe in resumption and hard money but
how to resume without the money is problem yet to be
solved We say this for the benefit Of hard money
