Democratic Convention" Notes


IF were Rufus Peters, would Peter out of
that crowd almighty fast
IRvE ought have had that convention stuffed and
laid away. It's like will probably again.
WAsHAM is the only candidate who resides outside
of town. ''Wash-em'' is not popular sound with
Democrats
ABOUT the only Democrat of any note who came up
from in and paid years subscrip-
tion to the STANDARD.
RUFUS PETERS is one of the very best men in the
Democratic party. Rufus do you pledge yourself to
support that ticket as nominated? P"
EVERY Democrat we heard speak of the matter
Saturday evening, was keen swear that he had
been opposed to holding convention.
EBY, the nominee for Infirmary Director max
ing a very good Saturday evening, until Po-
liceman Reed raised his Eby-nezer for him.
RUFUS PETERS is expected to furnish the 'bar'l"
to run the campaign. Rufus went right home Satur-
day night and read the story of 'old Dog Tray
WILL John T. Moore stand up before the American
people, smite his manly bosom, and say he pledges
himself to support the nominees9 VIII he vote for
Eby?
As Eby received the nomination by Irve's
convention he rushed straghtway and hid himself in
the calaboose. Eby had eye to the fitness of
things.
ONE man declined to be chairman because he didn't
understand parliamentary law. What, in the name
of Ginral Jackson had parliamentary law to do with
that convention?
EBY is like Bob Ingersou in respect He evil
IDENTIFY believes that Democratic convention holds
the same relation to the calaboose as the Sunday
School does to the Church.
IT wasn't much of a convention to be sure, but they
went through the motions, and the local statesmen

been effected in Jackson county.

T. Moore was nominated as temperance man. Now
take yonr change out of that muddle.
WE learn that every Democrat who was at the con-
vention denies announcing Eby candidate. Will
Col. Irve DUNCAN deny the soft impeachment? He is
the ladde-buck who did it. Eby and Irye are the
champion laboring men of the party.

WE failed to see the sole and solitary representa-
tive of Hamilton township at the convention For
twenty years Parker Smith, with cane in hand, has
walked in fifteen miles, to represent Hamilton in
Democratic conventions. Where has Parker gone?
ONE hard-hearted creature asserts that the reason
why the bakers dozen of Democrats didn't nominate
two of their number for Clerk and Treasurer be-
of them could write good enough for
Clerk, and they not any of them could give
bond as Treasurer if elected.
OUR old and esteemed friend, Capt. Benjamin Cal
laghan attended the convention CO last Saturday.
The Capt. does not believe in what Dickens calls
"biggod nonsense" and he soon got up and walked
out, looking disgusted.
BUT few of the old, responsible, reputable Demo-
Gratis at the court rOom We noticed j. L. RAM
sey, Capt James johnson, Capt Callaghan, Job Buck
ley John c. Ray ESQ., and perhaps one or two others;
but they took little part in the miserable farce
ANOTHER thing highly satisfactory to us.
While the young Democracy were tugging and
sweating and wrestling with the problem How not
to do it, the Democrats all around us were handing
. us money for the STANDARD. We got from six to
eight dollars during the progress of the farce.
WHEN Thomas Hayes reported as secretary, a
man who sat near, and who had just seen Tom hand
bright silver dollar subscription to the STAN
DARD, said: why, is he Democrat?'' We said we
sure. Tom looked around smiled if he
willing carry the joke, and took his seat as
secretary.
EBY's name, we believe is Philander. The pious
Dems after sanity names, and they thought by
putting Philander on the same ticket with Jonn
Wesley that the Dems throughout the county would
think Philander great divine. But good
Democratic Policeman Phi-landered him in the
calaboose.
AS went into the Court House to attend the
vention met old acquaintance bourbon moss
back Democrat who voted for Ginral Jackson in the
year 1S2-57 years ago. he has voted for Jackson
every year since that time. We asked him why he
coming out-was he not going to help the Democ-
| racy out once more? He replied that the Democracy
would get precious little help from him hereafter.
ONE thing pleased The Democrats nearly all
took the farce in good humor, from Levi DUNCAN
| away down to Col. Irve. When the Col. announced
Philander Eby, one who sat near remarked: Phi
lander? Yes. We used have little play school,
in which we sang:
| - Come Philanders let's be a-marchin,
Every one for his true love a-sarchin.
Seek your true love never,
II she aint here seek for another,
| Love fare you well,
Love fare you WELL
And were all a-marchin along
Fare you well.'
There was just about as much sense in the song in
the play there in the the Court House,
