THE gist of the conversation on our
streets yesterday afternoon was about
as follows:
First manly Jocks, this is hot
day.
Second man.-"Whew! but this IS
hot day"
Third Holy Moses! amt this
a hot day?"
1t Is somewhat remarkable, as we'll as
tantalizing, to see the poor fellows
painting and sweltering under the heat,
while lovely woman comes down the
street, clad in muslin and calico, and
looking as cool and sweet as if it were
October, instead Of sultry May. We
wonder how they keep so cool.

A DEMOCRAT Of the rank and file pro-
tests vigorously in this weeks Conseru-
attire against the Democratic county
committee, who took it upon themselves
to appoint delegates to the county con-
vention. He Indignantly asks: Where
is their authority? Why did they not
call county convention, as they have
in Dubuque?" And then he says that
as he sees it, Buchanan county has no
regular delegates to the State conven-
ton, as the Democrats have had no con-
vention to appoint them. 1t is evident
that this honest Democrat is not ac-
quainted with the true inwardness of
the situation, and the cunning designs
of his leaders. The reason why con-
vention was not called was, that the
men who represent this county in the
convention do not propose to be ham,
pered with instructions, or by an ex-
preston from their fellow Democrats
that would amount to the same thing.
They were afraid that the honest rank
and file of the party might this time, in
sist that it stand by its own organization
and principles and not form the tail for
the Greenback kite, whereas, they go in
for traffic, if practicable, or if any spoils
are to follow. For this programme con-
vention was unnecessary, and might be
troublesome. Does not the Democrat
in the Conservative see the point?
