A Campaign Prelude.

At the Democratic mass meeting
held Wednesday to nominate a can
dilate for Mayor, great interest was
manifested aud the attendance was
unusually large for such occasions,
the courthouse being crowded. The
real object of the meeting was some'
what Hurried and a lengthy discus
sion brought on by the introduction
of set of resolutions by S. D. Me-
Emery, ESQ.,, a copy of which we give
in our report. The point Of differ
ence was, as to whether or not the
Democratic party had faithfully car
ried out it's pledges. The debate last
ed nearly three hours and was both
interesting and instructive at least
to a journalist. Our report, though
not pretending to he full, will be
found of interest to the reader, as
showing what may be said pro and
con relative to the merits Of the men
elected to office by the Democrats 10
1876 and what are likely to he the
issues between Democrats in arraDg'
ing for the next State Convention.
The vote on Mr.. C"bh's amend
ment was small, probably not more
than twenty-five voting. Judging from
the sound, but the result was a two
thirds majority against tho motion
aud in favor of declaring that TIT
Democratic party had faithfully car
ried out pledges. :,

IF people hesitate now between

it ia because the Senators who grum-
ble most are themselves open to cen

ing to do with their quarrel, which -
traceable to unworthy considerations
and has been marked by degrading
tactics. Divest their complaints OF
the sham which incases them, ami
nine ont of every ten will be found
to originate in some squabble about
patronage. The fact is not a Jnst'i'-
cation Of the President. His obstln-
ate refusal to take counsel with prom,
ineut men in Congress, his want OF
frankness and sincerity on many &C.
casions, his disregard of all but petty
nersonal cousideratiops-all help t"
explain the rapid widening OF the
culf that separates him from acknowl-
edged Republican leaders. Too many
Of the latter, however, have descend

canse the President did not accede t"

he to shelve Civil Service reform
the rules they have applied to reno

provoking as his logged laundering ;
and their general attitude has been
as degrading to themselves as h"rtfoi

a little local capital. The "c"ur-
