THE ATTITUDE or THE DEMOCRATS.
The independents, It is known, have not yet
| sETced OIL candidate for Senator. Tile Demo-
crats afe simply waiting for them the Iude-
pcnicnts} to 10 agree. One Ut the rlnba1lass-
inents they encounter In this ARISES from the
jealousy, sitL which ccrtnn of .he other.
urc understood to Fesarl John q. 1iaincH
aspirations, but tho I've hayo shnwn they thor
0uyh)y appreciate the advantages Of thefr sItua-
| tsoit, and have managed with sufficient skill
thus far 10 warrant tho assumption that 1t will
not do y ront largely upon their thro wing
! OF tic DenIoerntle members refusing to yote lor
the nominee of the independents, Or OF At least
| absentiug themselves when the fote IL taken,
but, with what Ii known nf thu Democratic par
