messed the reinforcement of the Democratic
ticket BY several hundred voters who were q
few days ago among its opposeFs They be-
lieved that the old Radical serpent whose head
was so daddy bruised in 1876 was dead, and
that the time ha arrived when those who re-
deemed the State could safely divide ia local
contests, and vote for men regardless of party:
but recent developments have convinced them
of their mistake and they are again hurrying
to the front and arrying themselves right
where they stood in 1875
