Democratic Convent - Notes.


, ''PEACE hath her victories" but Ale
shire's name is not Peace
: LEACH, for Mayor, received nine votes
and returned thanks to the nine.
TIE Democratic candidate for Town
ship Treasurer will weep ON the night OF
the election.
A WORKING man was put up for Mar
shal and was promptly sat down upon
Such is Democracy!
MARGARET wanted every candidate to
pledge himself to support the nominee.
Margaret wants no foolishness.
Mr.. EBY received votes, for Marshal.
He ran as well as Tilden did in the Elec-
toral Commission.
WHEN we thought of the days Of the
departed Syndicate" and gaZed at that
squad, 1--WE thought 'here we are again.
THE voting was tediously slow. The
tellers ought to have counted upon their
fingers, or used grains of corn.
BOTH candidates for Squire are named
Jim. 1t is expected that they will rush
out the vote until there will be perfect
Jim-jam. -
YANCEY LYNCH and Frank Price did
a neat thing in moving and seconding"
that the nomination of Trago he made
unanimous.
THERE was a desperate attempt on the
part of 'Old Boreas' to blow the lights
out. Some of the statesmen would per-
haps have looked better in the dark.
WHEN Aleshire's nomination was an
nounced, much enthusiasm was aroused.
Boys, you should not exhibit so much
levity at funeral!
OUR young, jolly and highly educated
friend, III. E. Dickson, must think Dem
ocratic Convention a strange place for
talented man to go into.
In the contest between Baker and
McClung, for J. p, somebody stuffed the
"ballot-box." Was that you, Baker, or
was it McClung?
WE were pleased to see the young De-
mocracy taking an active part. Among
the more prominent ones were Jim
Carr, Quin Branson, and many others of
our handsomest young men.
IT was remarked in the Convention
that Aleshire would make a dignifed-
looking Mayor, if he would have spider
painted on that bald spot on top of his
head, to scare away the flies.
FIRE and fall back!" shouted the
chairman, who is an old soldier, when the
voting commenced. But the average
Dem. would prefer to fall back before the
firing commenced.
ONE candidate brought up an old white
haired man, and urged him to crowd in
and vote. That candidate was deter |
mined to pursue success-even unto the |
verge of the grave.
THE name of Ambrose was not popular
with our Democratic friends. Ambrose
Scott was boosted out of the Township
Convention, and Ambrose Leach out of
the Corporation Convention.
EX-SEN. DUNCAN makes an excellent
presiding officer, but we'll guarantee that
he wouldn't for cool thousand have con-
sented to being photographed in group, on
night.
EX-SEN. DUNCAN was chosen chairman,
but the party being composed of states
men, about dozen Of them mounted the
stand. One fellow, whose countenance
would be rebuke to the Penitentiary,
crowded the chairman out, completely.
MARGARET WATTS ran 'purty good
hick'ry'' in the Township Convention, for
Justice of the Peace. She got votes
Still, the Democratic party is migrate
full.
FRANK GEIGER is good fellow, as the
world goes, but he is no more to be COM
pared to "Mat" Evans, in point of intel
Iect, than the "pollywog" is to the mighty
whale which lashes the seas. Even SO!
BREATHEs there Republican with
soul so dead-that he can vote for Jim
for Mayor, and afterward place
MS hand upon his heart and say Il am
not an ASA pale gray ass ?" Nay, verify!
