The man who does not trouble borrow,

And flowers Will bloom upon his way.

The members Of the Tammany organi-
cation are about the happiess people in
New York over Tuesdays Democratic
victory in that State. Tammany was
chiefly instrumental in bringing about the
nomination OF Gov. Hill, and it has, there-
fore, reason to expect that 1t VIII be the
recipient of the greater part Of the favors
which the Governor has to bestow. In
New York City about all the Tammany
candidates for the local Offices were elect
ed, and the vast patronage OF these offices
Will be skillfully used, doubtless to
strengthen the Tammany organic alton.
A year ago Tammany was dispirited.
The county Democrats, under the lead of
Hubert .. Thompson, were in the as
cendaney, and the Tammanyites were
forced to take back seats. Either good
management or a gentle revolution in
public sentiment in New York city has
brought Tammany to the front again. 1t
remains to be seen whether that organi-
cation will profit by its good fortune or
will allow itself to fall under the control
OF men who have only personal ends to
serve.

in this town, who, on account of be-
ing acquainted, are the most apt to ask
us to wait few weeks, remember this

very grateful for prayers and good
wishes, but experience has taught us
that they will not buy paper nor pay
the compositor Another thing exper-
fence has taught us, that whenever we
departed from our advance terms it did
us no good and neither was it any adj
vantage, unless a nigardly one, to the
othcrparty. The low price of the paper
gives us no margin for losses, neither
for waiting indefinitely, and no one
