SETTING UP THE PINS.
Congressional Committees viii Begin
Active Work T0-Morr0w---Reform
Democratic Committee.

The national, state and county war
fare is now actively on. Along the en-
tire line may be heard the preliminary
rumblings of the battle of the ballots
which will be fought ON the 9th of No
vember. The congressional campaign
has as yet, however, hardly begun. The
Republican congressional committed
have for the past five days been in
stalled in their comfortable quarters at
the Clifton, within hailing dis
lance of the county committe, but
have as yet had no meeting!
Capt. Snider, however, is enabled to
seek counsels from the budding Repub-
lican generals whom Dan Aberle, in a
burst of cynicism, stigmatiZed kids, and
advised them to take few lew lessons
in the political craft from older and
wiser men of the party. The committee
thus rudely spoken of have, however,
taken up the cudgel which the valiant
Daniel so unceremoniously hurled at
their heads, and declare that if the
Quoting a campaign, they should at
least conceal their chagrin. They do
not
RELISH THEIR OWN DOWNFALL.
The consequent rise-PheniX-like-
of the young blood from the ashes of
the local bosses. Mr.. LOwenstein comes
in for share of criticism also, and is
acknowledged to have been a man
whose political sagacity was somewhat
variable. But he was too aggressive.
and it is generally conceded among
local Republican politicians of the riS-
ing generation that his absence is at this
time very precious, and his cOunSelS for
the veal of the party in the past are not
regarded as being indicative of his sue
cess in the future. Young blood is in
demand in the ranks of county Repub-
licanism, and that Capt. Snider appre-
ciates this fact is shown by his casting
party tradition to the winds, and anchor
ing at the Clifton instead of playing SOL
itaire in committee room at the Mer-
chants.
The Democratic congress iOnal COM
mittee will open their new quarters to-
morrow and will be working from the
instant that the chairman raps them to
order for their initial formal meeting.
Speakers will be assigned Immediately
throughout the district, and after to-
morrow the congressional campaign
will be opened. Owing to lack of a
quoru m yesterday the Republican con-
gressional committee failed to meet,
but full meeting is anticipated to-
morrow.
The new Democratic committee have
secured comfortable and cOmmodiOus
quarters at the northeast corner of
Fourth and SibleY streets. and either
the executive committee or the full
county committee
ARE IN SESSION NIGHTLY.
Their foes i'll the opposition camp,
however. meet during the afternoon,
and the executive committee is an
nounced to hold its session on alternate
days of the week. AT all of the confer
ences, however, strict secrecy is en-
forced as to what was said and
done, and there is a disiDclina-
ton on all sides to particularize.
However, general canvass of the sit
uatiOn, both present and future, is taken
at each meeting. Fences are strength
ened and balm applied to old sores.
Each fighter has girded up his loins, and
prepared himself beforehand to do bat
tie in the political arena, and take
hOnOrs easily, or smile in the face of
defeat, as his fate may be allotted him.
