THE Fourth Of July, 1891, was as
generally observed throughout the
country as in any year since our
declared independence, but in Min
eral Point it was unusually dull.
The display of national colors by a
few of our patriotic citizens at their
residence aud place of business, and
the little groups OF youngsters IN
the streets and alleys with their
punches of frecrackers produced
the only visible semblancs of the
Fourth in this city. The neighbOr-
ing towns and grove pionics DIRE W
about fifty per cent. of our pop.
ulace. Those who did not 60 away
spert the day mainly at their homes;
and in the evening they turned out
largely to the festival of the Alpha
society at the City Hall park. There
was a prevailing regret that Mu-
eral Point did not celebrate, and it
is hoped that this years experience
in the matter will so adjust affairs
that next year we viii celebrate in
such rousing way as was never
witnessed before in this section.

REVIEW OF THE SITUATION.

Although William Il. Grace has written letter to
Mr.. Flower pledging his support to the Democratic
candidate for Governor, and although most OF the
leaders of the County Democracy. including Boss"
Maurice j. Power, Cbairman Charles A Jackson, Of
the County Committee ex-Corporation Counsel H. T..

Treasurer Charles j. Canda, Secretary Charles j..

James DalS John w. Goff. W. Travers Jerome, Roger
Foster, and a dozen other excellent citizens. who
claim 10 believe that their organization will somehow
get the upper hand in city affairs again. have de-
clarcd individually and less positively that Mr.
Flower is very good candidate and that they
mean to vote for him because he Is entitled TO the
support Of every Democrat" nevertheless there Is an
absence of enthusiasm about their declarations ana
want Of heaItness in their praise of Mr. Flower which
cause many people, notably their own followers. 10
doubt their sincerity when they say that they are
going lend their aid TO elect the TaDmay state
ticket. There is not of them who does not khO"
that the only effect OF Flowers election. SO
far as they concerned, is TO render ao-
solutely certain their own political death and the
utter destruction of the organization which they AFFECT
10 believe in. As one Of their own number sald lhe
other evening: The advocacy of Flowers election Dy
the County Democracy is nothing more nor less thah
suicide. 1t is only nveting the chains which lam
many Hall has forged for the Democracy of the STATE
Tammany Hall already dominates In the state Elect
Flower and the same men who drove us out OF inc
Saratoga Convention will control the next Democratic
National Convention and dictate its nominations Tor
1892. There is political future for us unless
Flower be defeated. The defeat of Tammsny Han IN
tho state and city will mean reconstruction OF the
party and a recognition Of independent Democrats.
The sentiments of this leader represent the
feeling of nine tenths OF the Democratic party
of this city to-day outside OF Tammany Hail.
Whatever the leaders of the County Democracy,
the voorids Democracy, the Stecler combination,
the Peoples League, may do or pretend TO do as
matter of poBtlcal expedency it is certain that they
nave no heart in the business when they say that
tcy are going to labor and vote for Mr.. Flower The
rank and file of these organizations, less given to
assembling Than the who appear 10 direct them,
do not hesitate to assert that their votes will not be
cast for Flower, Sheehan or their associates on the
