GEN. BRAGG, the man who at the nation.
oil democratic convention at Chicago "loved
Cleveland for the enemies he had made"
traded on that love to large extent. He
entered into written agreement with his
democratic rival for Congress, that if the
latter would withdraw in his favor he should
have the entire disposal of the federal pat
ronage in his district in case of Cleveland's
election, and besides, have the nomination
this fall. When Cleveland was elected the
lover availed himself of his love to have this
rival appointed U. s. district attorney. But
now that this fall has come, he breaks bis
contract and announces himself candidate
for reelection, and does so upon the ground
that the Office he obtained for his rival
squared accounts between them. 1t is hoped
that this shameful exposure may result in
the defeat Of both the men referred to, and
the nomination of some good, true and hon.
est democrat.

FROM AN advanced copy OF the democratic

learned that notwithstanding the great diff

discovered that the balances due the govern.
ment on account of defalcations in disburse-
ments and collections during the republican
regime, amount TO nearly thirteen million
dollars. And this in addition to the re-
markable fortunes some of the higher Off
GERS of the government acquired during
