the Democracy. Not that the Repub-
licans fear them at all, but because
their proceedings are clothed in so
much laughable burlesque mystery.
They meet every other night or so, but
rarely twice in the same place.
They have among them, in their con-
situations, what they are pleased to
call small following Of dissatisfied
Republicans, who are in fact nothing
Democrats at heart and from principle
-ifprinciple they possess. For instance
there is Horatio S. Mason, a prominent
merchant, came near contesting for the
Republican Senatorial nomination. He
has, ever since the primary election,
been herding with the Democrats-the
party he really afiliates with, and if
he did not fear injuring his private bu.

in this town aside altogether, his friends
had better suggest to him that there is
time for all things, and that this year is
not his time for organizing in political

to unpleasant personalities.
Then comes John II. Mills, the re-

hands of the Republican party, and
more lately the Superintendent of the
Orphans Home, by the grace Of the Re-
publican party-he wants TO be an AS
semblyman on the Democratic ticket,
and we all hope he may get it. There
are numerous others of the same calibre
whom scarcely think it worth while to
mention. To tell the truth, the smarter
wing OF our local Democracy knows we'll
that it don't stand ghost of chance
to elect a man on the ticket, and
therefore they are putting up "stuffed

ticket is completed you will not find
