GRAFTON, September 1.-The troubled
Democracy Of the Second District arc nj
ready turning their eyes toward Grafton
praying and hoping for peace "when there
is no peace "rhe committee will fix II
up" can bc beard Iron, the sad, downcast
unwashed and unterriiied OIL every lmud,
but just ..how It will 10 fixed none seen,
TO know or care, just SO It ia fixed. The
factions arc as bitter, il not MS drunk, ms
they were ut keyscr on the 18th OF August.
The lloge men charge Lucas and his fol.
lowers with being disorganizers and boilers
while the Lucas men charge lIoce and his
henchmen with violated pledges; fraud,
bulldozing and trickery most infamous
They hate ( each other cordially; /.
does them good 10 hate; they glory
IN it, and all the oil anl waterand whisky,
too, that the smiling Senator, polite
Baker, and Senator Oh King, can pour on
aud into the unwushed throny will not
avail. 10 make them happy they must have
blood, and plenty Of it, Lucas blood and
llo.e blood, both must be sacrificed
whether they will willingly be made
lsaacs or not. If the bosses do not slay
these ambitious disorganizcrs, they will
shy each other, il they can. Lucas cries
for Hogc's scalp, and ingetting it he will be
satisfied. Will Hoge immediate himself?
Win or can his friends permit it? Hoge
did nothing to ''set up the Convention =
did not bolt, was regularly nomi.
mated ! by n majority Of the reg
ular delegates in the regularly organ
lied Convention. To compel him to ster
down and out is to defeat the will Of the
majority, and TO say that the majority shall
not rule ignores the oldest OF all Democratic
principles. It would be surrender to a
defeated bolter and factionist. No matter
cries snively, We have none, aud want nc
principles. It's offices and success we
want. Ii Hoge wants to retain his character
for honor and selfrespect he will refuse to
be butchered for Lucas sake and submit
only to the will his party expressed at the
polls. III ~ 4ll ". ea (
Rumors Of plans Of settlement are already
atloat. The most reliable seems to be this.
Tie Committee to prepare list OF six
names OF prominent gentlemen in the. dis
trict, not objectionable to lIoee, which
list shall be submitted 10 Lucas and the
man selected by him ,herefrom TO be the
candidate and have the cordial support o.
both Lucas and Hoge, who are to retire.
The names prominently mentioned are
Prof. Wilson, Of Jefferson. Judge
A. B. Fleming, Of Marion, i. +.
Martin, OF Taylor; Faulkner, Sam
Woods and Travers. This pre.supposes d
satisfactory arrangement with Hoye and
Lucas, and then Withdrawal. Hoge re.
turned to MartiEsburg from North Carroll
ma last Saturday. On Monday he repaired
to Deer Park, at the summons OF the
smiling Senator, and several conferences
have been there held.
Daniel B. did not put in IN appearance
as far MS can be learned. 'Tis said he had
already dictated his terms. Will Hogt
surrender? Not without surrenLering hi:
manhood and disgracipg himself before tht
people. f5
