THE pEMocRAT1c CONVENTION.

| -y-two present, shown by the only ballot TAX
n that for Senator. White Cloud, entitled 10
en delegates, had not one, and most OF the dele
cations were short. One of the Centre Township
| delegates who was absent, is gong to vote ior
| Garfield. A majority of the convention conslsted
| of the staunch, solid old fellows who have kept
the Democratic bail rolling in the County ior
years But truth eomPeis us to say that IL was
the most spiritless convention, the greatest drag,
that We have ever seen IN the County. iuhefai
that did not have more life IN IT would he iaii-
ure. But, with hopeless hight before thein' ana
the effect of the Indiana catastrophe still upon
them, there was not much to cheer them.
One would think, with their party IN a hoiE-
less minority, ana no ehahee 10 elect eahaiua'e'
except by accident OF ioohslliiess, that 'he De-
