/ ocratic nominee Tor the senate was de-
feated principally because Raley, fear
inc TO lose his own election, withdrew
from II his wide influence and lormeda
combination with the Independents and
Know-Nothings the latter, then hold
ing the balance Of power in the county,
and that in consequence, Haley was
elected by Know Nothings and not by
Democrats. Does he not then appear
as accomplishing the defeat ofthe nom
inee of his party Democrat and Cy-
pher seek 10 hide this fact by interpre-'
ting my general remark, "the nominee
Of his party" 10 mean the nominee for
the office TOR which Mr.. r. was a cam
dldate. But this Interpretation suPpo-
ses The fact that there was only one Of
Ace, which anybody Of ordinary brain
might have known did not mean.
Cypher draws distinction between
The bolt OF 81 and that of 10 and says
that in The former instance the boilers
made their appeal to the Democratic
voters, and whether elected or defeat
ed, remained in the party. The fact =
thew appealed 10 the Know Nothings,
! and | dare say would have also remain
ed out Of the party but for the inleryen-
lion OF the war, at the close OF which
things began on new footing.
Democrat prowulgaies the absurd
doctrine Of iavoring and advocating a
thing because ones trends may do 20.
This, suppose, is the way IN which
he exnlains his sudden enthusiasm Tor
The Hamilton move. Verify - he an
exemplihcation Of the Simon puFe--
"Sinon SAYS up, Simon SAYS down, 81
moa says wiggle waggle or TO SUIT
the adage to the occasion, Raley says
up, Raiey says down, etc, and Demo.
cfat obeys. II had rather be dog and
bay a, Tie moon than such Roman I!
By a most astounding course OF reason
ing, equally complimentary to their To-
otcal talents, both Democrat aud Cy-
pher, with the premise that oppose
, the Hamilton move, jump ri the con-
clusion ihot ! am q strong supporter o.

Even granting Tor the sake Of argument
that there was an impossibiltiy Of there

conclusion as he did, be iorgets that
