The impression begins to possess many,
that the rebuke inflicted upon certain par
ties within the Democratic party last Fall,
because of uncaled for interference in the
District Attorneys fight wherein young
gentleman, through no particular merit of
his own, was sustained by the people
and elevated to that honorable position
over all other equally worthy young gen.
tleman, through no fault of his, has not
had the effect which was evidently intend
ed it should have.
The action Of the electors on the occa-
sion referred to, was Enthusiastically no.
tice to the bosses, little and big, that their
services, as such, were no longer required I;
further, that political leading strings were
distasteful, and would not be tolerated in
the future. The issue was understood
thus; it was right; the fight was squarely
made, not on men, but against methods.
The people won. The discipline upon those
whom it was intended to reach at that
time, has no doubt been salutary; they
have long since discovered their mistake in
forcing the issue, and the result Of the pco-
ple's victory in that direction, has been ap-
parent
But in escaping the charybais of Boss
ism judging from surface indications, the
old ship Democracy under her young pilots
in this county, is in danger of a too close
proximity to the Scylla of Dictation.
1t is too much, no doubt, to expect that
politicians will at all times observe clean
methods in the attainment of what they
may desire 1t has not been their way in
the past, it will perhaps not be strictly
their way in the future, but this fact should
not be overlooked at this time. The peo-
pie are very observing, more so now than
ever, indeed in our own party, as well as
In the Republican, they seem really to be
on deck, as 1t were, and through manipu-
lators of county committees, may be the
same young men whom on former occa-
sions they have used and honored. Such
methods as prevailed in the committee
meeting on Saturday last, wherein several
townships in the county were permitted to
| be misrepresented, after an honest effort on
the part of their committeeman had been
made to correct and revoke former action,
which an investigation led them to believe
would not properly reflect the wishes of
their constituency, and which there is no
question, they had perfect right to
change, will certainly bring down upon
the heads of these new Bosses that con-
demnation from which the peoples resent
ment will not allow them to escape.

Many people think that Rheumatism
