The democrats Of the Seccsd District
appear 70 be very nearly unit in opposi-
ton to fusion with The greesbscksrs. At
their convention At Auburn. those in favor
Of . straight democratic ticket were more
than three times a. many - those in favor
Of fusion. Ex-Gov. Garcelon appears to
have been about the only one who raised
his voice for the Enforcement Of Judge
Gilbert. Major Belcher Of Pennington.
Mr.. Torrey Of Bath and others derided the
idea Of trailing the democratic banner in
the dust to please the greenbackers.
Major Belcher was in favor Of any re-
putable way to beat the republicans but
said Judge Gilbert could not be elected by
1900 votes. II know" said he. THAT In
my county, II we attempt to endorse the
candidate nominated by a convention
which studiously ignored the democratic
party, the democrats will rebel against it.
They want mark to Ere at. What has
been the effect Of fnsion on the democratic
party? A few years ago there were a
good many democratic papers in this
State. Now you can count on few fin
gers all that are not tainted with green
backism. - We want to preserve the
democratic party. We want to present
candidate Tor the democrats Of this dis
trict TO vote for. We want to stand up
and be counted. n we fail TO present q
candidate, what will be the effect' Many
democrats who have been coaxed into
fusion heretofore, are sick Of it and won't
do it again"
Mr.. Torrey Of Bath said Major Belcher
had pictured the situation exactly. 81
think, said he. there is no hope Of elect
ing our candidate. But II we endorse the
nomination Of the greenback convention.
we shall not only be defeated. but dis
graced."
These appeared to be the sentiments Of
nearly all the delegates, 50 that when the
name OF Mr.. Reed was presented as the
democratic candidate. the nomination was
made by reclamation and without dis
senting voice was adopted.
This looks as II the democrats had re-
ceived new light and had come to realize
that adhesion TO principle is better for
political party than to be drifting hither
and thither without chart or compass upon
the political seas. We take 1t the demo-
Gratis In the other districts OF the State are
as much Disguised with following the
Rag Baby as their friends in the Second
District. and will approve the step the
latter have taken in making straight
democratic nomination.
The resolutions endorse the Cincinnati
platform. the administration OF Gov.
Plaisted. and execrate the attempt to as
sassinate the President Of the United
States.

PITrsBuRG, August 5. The iron manufac-
turers of this city are just now experiencing
healthy midsummer trade. Nearly all the
rolling mills are running double turns, and
the prospects for fall are exceedingly encour-
aging. Usually, during hot spell, the mills
shut down for few weeks, but this is not the
case this season. The monster iron works of
Jones & Laughlin, which employ 5000 men
and dispense 800, 900 among them every pay
day, are running double turns in every de-
partment. Similar reports come from a num-
Der of other large mills in the city.
