Is that sprigg shall follow ST. Clair, VIII
i8 trying TO sugar-coat the Brooke, Nit
Dowell and Mercer pills. At last night
conference the whole programme wa
discussed at great length. IN tho ligil
OF reports on the situation all but ;Pric
and Flournoy were tesirious to have a
endorsement OF the committees report
but rs there seemed 10 be unmstakabl
obstacles in the way 1t was concluded
that u resolution declaring Fleming cleo
ted might after oil be the best way out O
1t. All tho same the majority repor
will be forced through II II can be, not
withstaudtng the conclusion OF tho 80
lcct conference and an.open account rc
main to be settled.
DoN'T WANT TO ENDORSE THE MINORITY.
A few Democrats do not wish II to z,
on record by implication that they en-
dorse the action OF the minority in tn,
rejection Of certain votes thrown out
The Brook county grab, they Say, vii
not hurt Fleming on tho main question
aud wc can face our people at home viii
better grace. And then there are votes
not shown TO have been polled and
votes pollcd for Fleming aud taken away
from GoA. That .doesn't look well, "Out
speakers have not met these points will,
the evidence, aud 1t will be hard ia
make the people believe the points well
taken. The resolution to declare Judte
Fleming elected is all right, but are yo,,
going to leave in these things TO plague
usP' The managers reply that this IL u
weak sort Of talk. "ButH say those who
are not managing, "it is being talked OF
aud It sticks in the craw."
YES, you WILL.
"Weshall answer Golf and Hubbard on
these points," say the managers. "You
haven't done it yet, and they have stood
before US and tho world demanding tho
proof. You have not shownit. We'll.
st. Clair will do it on Monday, and II our
men are reasonable we will satisfy them.
But there must be no more talk about
putting back this vote and that vote. 1t
won't DO. Once you get that started
some Republican will pop up and hit
head, aud Flemins's plurality
will be gone. No, gentlemen, we arc in
the fight and We must stand together
until We see it through"
There is not wcli-posted man OF the
who cannot fill the names in
this dialogue and give it its proper stage
setting. The Republicans objected to
an adjournment at noon yesterday, for
they wanted Col. St. Clair to keep right
on rs he had begun. They did not want
him to get a fresh grip and have the ben
etit OF coaching. He was doing the best
that could bs done for his side, but ut
last nights conference his head was filled
with more suggestions than he is likely
TO digest. Hard as he hammered Kama
WIN, sprigg is now to take it up and ham
ner it again.
HOW REFRESHING.
St. Clair's reference to County Clerk
"Bill Dave" Goshorn, as an officer
elected by Republican votes is refresl,-
lug. st. Clair told 4 half truth when he
said Goshorn WAS II Greenbacker,
put into office by Republicans, but he
soon got back to his own stamping
ground. In 1855 he made cash dicker
with the Democrats and that cause be.
,ame his cause.
: What he knows about the ballot box
and the juggling Of the ballot, am not
able to say, but this everybody, includ-
ing st. Clair, knows, that when that bal
lot box went into his custody ''Bill
Dave" was no Republican. This is why
even Democrats smiled when st. Clair
arrayed Goshorn in the pure purple OF
St. Clair must have en-.
oyed it himself.
CHAIRMAN RILEY on THE GROUND.
Chairman Riley arrived to-day to take
a fresh hand in running the campaign.
Tonight there was another getting to-
sether which has not changed or modi-
led the programme. Chairman Riley's
return is surprise to those who thought
be was paired with Chairman; Cowden.
The Committee on Rules of the Con-
lest meet again tomorrow night to con.
slider rules for voting. These rules will
be the most important Of all. Democrats
desire the matter so arranged as to baye
the voting come all ut once so US to give
the best chance to hold their forces on
The main proposition, which is to seat
Judge Fleming. c.B.n.
