WE understand that aneffort is being
made by some of the Democratic mana
gers of this place in the interest of
Judge Swaney to patch up truce with
the Bellaire kickers against Swaney, by
proffering them the increased represen-
tation they demand for the purpose of
controlling the political organization of
the party in the county. 1t is mildly
suggested to them by these same fellows
that st. Clairsville Democrats will not
oppose the adoption of WAGNER, should
they cease their opposition and fall in to
the support of SwaneY.
