COnsiderate Democrats. as well as Re
publiesns are coming to the conclusion that
everything re0rganized by our Democratic
legislature stands sadly in need Of another

There will be fewer heroes to fight the
yellow fever this year than last, probably,
from the fact that so many died last year
and the severity of the seUurge then, rather
shook the slslWart magnanimiiy Of the sur

effect.
A Democratic exchange says-"The
Democracy will never surrender this vital
principle of full and entire freedom of the
ballot as essential 10 liberty, and the people
will thoroughly sustain them" We sup
pose it makes some difference what the
color Of the voter is, and which way he
casts a ballot.
Several witnesses have testified on the

It now transpires that Tom Ewing got
the promise of $50, 700 for campaign pur-
poses from Sam Tilden for beating ThOmp-
son ont OF the Craftsmanship of the Demo-
cratic State Executive Committee. Thus
far the promise is all, but the money will

The Democratic party has no guiding
principle or policy, but that of subser-

South is pentinaeiously selfshly and Sec
iOnally aggressive, the Democrats of the
North recognize no other course but to

ion then is, shall the South be permitted
o southernize all the rest Of the Onion, or
hall this aggression be resisted?
The Cleveland Herald, speaking of

States, says: ''He is simply State Sow
