has returned from the East no doubt pos
sessed of information MS to what will be
done with the famous old mine. A DEMO

not improbable that the Stewart programme
will be broken when the Legislature of that

opposed to Stewart for U, S. Senator, and
by remaining out of caucas with the aid of
the Democrats, will be able to elect a bona
ide resident of the State. The Chronicle
thinks that the Democratic members would
be justified in voting for any Republican
who is an actual resident of the State if by
so doing they can defeat the election or Mi.
Stewart.
A Gentle citizen of Coyote, Garfield
county, writes to the Democrat under date
of the LIST instant that the anti Mormons at
that time were in ignorance as to who had
been nominated in opposition to John 4.
Caine for Delegate TO Congress. Our cor
respondent adds that he would leave for an
other town on that day to ascertain, and
would return in time to inform the loyal
voters of his precinct. As the gentleman
enclosed a subscription order for n number
of DEMOCRATS, the Gentiles of that vicinity
will in the future be better posted in regard
TO such matters
