IT has been announced for some
time that the efforts of the admins
tration to Mahoneize the Southern
States, was prospering and being
worked to successful issue, particu-
larly in the State of Georgia-that
the Democrats were much demoralized
and the Democratic party ready to
tumble into fragments. 1t now ap-
pears that these statements were slight
ly erroneous. The Democrats are
united, with no disturbing elements to
worry them. But it is the other fel-
lows whc, conceaiiDg their identity
under the name of independents, P"
that have fallen into fragments and
now appear in the field with a double
ticket. The conglomerate material
composing the independents" who
with the administration patronage,
were to disiutegrate and destroy the
Democracy, do not seem to have pos
sessed sufficient honesty to bind them
for one election. No doubt the bones
cast by the administration into the
Georgia kennel, had the usual canine
effect.

THE Rev. Thomas Harrison, the
boy preacher, has fallen several pegs
in the estimation of the Methodists of
Cincinnati. The women of that local
ity purchased and appropriated to his
use camp meeting cottage. The
evangelist at his earliest opportunity
repaid the kindness of the ladies by
selling the cottage for 5000.

THE chairman OF the Republican
State committee professes TO have en-
tire confidence in the success of the
Cameron machine ticket, and the Stall
wart candidate, Gen. Beaver, after
passing around the State appears
equally sanguine of triumph, and
claims his election to the Office of
Governor by $4,000 majority, as it
looks to me-" No doubt the thing
looks big But do these astute Stall
warts possess the confidence they pro-
fess -? The chairman of course speaks
merely for effect, and it is scarcely
credible that the candidate can be
so oblivious to his surroundings, so
absorbed in the ambition of the hour,
as to fail to realize the fact that he
only represents faction of his party,
which, if united, do not possess under
the most favorable aspect, respecta-
BILE fraction of the majority he claims
Indeed it is question that scarcely
admits of doubt, that the majorities of
his party in Pennsylvania for many
years, have been largely, if not wholly,
made up by frauds upon the ballot
and other means equally disreputable.

enough to provide for him when he

The Secretary of the Interior has
been authorized to appoint eight hun

stirring. Address Don Cameron.

NORMAN NJ. RUICK.
That Young Candidates Democracy Call
ed Into Question.

To THE EDIToK OF THE Tines
You will please excuse me in asking
space enough in the columns of your
valuable paper, in airing what some
may please to call the "wild vapor-
ings" Of disappointed hope. Whether
this is SO let the subject Of this letter
determine. More than two weeks
have elapsed since the Democrats OF
Alturas county assembled in Bellevue.
The excitement of that time has cool
ed; the political aspirations INDUCED
in have mellowed from the rosy hue
OF hope to the stern reality Of nomin-
ations gained or lost amid the friction
OF combinations, and it is our business
now to look behind the work of that
convention and see, if we can, what
may be the probable result Of that
work in November when the rank ana
file OF the Democracy will be called
upon to support it. With the honesty
OF purpose of that Convention find
not the slightest fault, and while
have the highest appreciation and res
pect for every member that had the
honor of place in its counsels, vet it
was guilty Of an amount of political
credulity that has never been equaled,
] say this because the work OF that
Convention has been married and sui
lied by the nomination Of man for
the office of County Attorney whose
principles as Republican were so
we'll known in the town where he
lives and along Wood River that it
was thought, by those who best knew
him, that any claim he might put be-
fore that Convention would be jeered
at with derision; yet through
the checklist statement Of most
recent conversion to Democratic
principles, Ruick was nominated by
that convention. Who ever heard Of
Ruick as Democrat prior to the time
he announced his intention to stand
before a Democratic convention
for the nomination which he
received? II any one has SO heard,
the writer would be more than pleased
to hear it, giving particulars Of time,
place and persons present when the
young man was made Democrat.
Until such announcement is made,
properly authenticated, the writer as a
life long Democrat cannot and will
not vote for Mr.. Ruick for tie office
of County Attorney. Would it not
be well for the Democratic County
Central Committee to look into the
matter and be governed accordingly,
lest the convention in its haste has
made mistake?
