BY ELgeraierrg. A DRMoeaAT man
last evening had the pleasure ot seeing an
electric motor run the presses Of Mr. II
burkhart. II has just been put In by Allen
4 GoH, and works like a charm, turning
several presses with great rapiuity. .and alb
solutc reliability. II eight OF ten motors
eoaId be taken the firm would put up a
special wire. We understand, by which the
motors could be used during tlie day The
DEMocRAr would like 10 see this done, as
II IL anxious TO have It's press run by the
mysterious element that makes such a
powerful light and possesses so much force
at the same time.

TIE RgAsoS.-Polk county went Re-
pnbliean.wish minor exception. a gen
tieman has shown ns a Democratic ticket

ters. The eagle, instead Of standing ram
pant, with q bold front and courageous
look, lies PROSTATE on his bach, Ibis heels in

AT SEwroRr-The 4th will be eelebrat,

speakers come from abroad. Should there
: be no celebration In Albany an excursion
party from this city may be relied on.
