phlanx Of iron-clad Democracy was TO
be terribly shaken up by a political
earthquake at the approaching election.
The Now lands, the Cochrans, the Bipps.
the Folks, and the Comegys, hereto

laughed in their sleeves when thew
made the Overall' wing of the De.
mocracy believe that they were the
poor mans friends, while they never
failed to nominate real scion Of blue
blooded Democracy for the Legislature
and Levy Court. The " Overall" wing
have been awaiting the time when they
should have little of the turkey az
we'll as the buzzard, but up to this
time 1t has always been buzzard.
These men who compose this wing of
the party have come to the conclusion
that they will be hewers of wood and
drawers OF water for the Bourbons no
longer. simply for the sake of being
called Democrats. They say If they
are worthy of the name of Democrats
they are worthy of representation on
the Democratic ticket this they are de-
term med to have in the coming .. ection.
II their request is still refused they
propose to sever their connection with
party that never moves forward, and
to throw their influence where it will
do the most good, even if they should
land in the Republican party

been heard for some time, but now
these mhtterings have turned To thun-
der and the next will be the hashins

the party for Representative. Mr.. Hayes
WIS a carter, but a gentleman as fully
qualified as any man in the Hundred
for Representative. But he was car.

blue bioods. He neither had ring in
nuence nor almshouse influence, and
the elect had no need .Cr him.
