POLITICAL NOTES.

VII ltV1G INOtLSs
The City Campaign Has Been Be-
gun by the Democrats--No
Candidates to be Put on the
Ticket Without the Sanction Of
the Democratic Club-An Inter
esting Fight Promised-Both Of
the Parties Intend to Set UP the
Usual States.
The wal cry has bean sounded by the
Democrats at their meeting held last even
ing In the rooms OF the Young Mems
Democratic Club on Market street. Tho
turn out was the largest that has taken
place for fome time amongst the followers
OF Jefferson. The rooms wore crowded
and the swallow tails and overalls elbowed
each other as they walked around the
large room Of this prominent club. From
the turn out the Democrats appear TO be
bent on achieving another victory OF the
polls on June 9th.
The number Of would be office holdels
was never larger OF the gathering of the
clans The silvertes with the goldites
greeted one another with pleasant greet
ings. The office holder bee was buzzing
around at a lively rate, and to the on
locker everything looked favorable for
united Democratic party. But Just wait
until the nominations are mado for the
different city Offices to 10 voted for, then
will come dissentiOns and growlings long,
loud and deep. The fight will be warm
as To who ahall control the primaries,
the overals or the swallowth,ls. It prom.
!ses 10 be o battle royal and will leave
scars after it, which viii! not be healed for
weeks afterwards
Tbs big -four" were 10 evidence al.
though they did not have much to say last
evening, but will speak their little piece
later on. The fight over who shall be the
standard bearorfor Mayor promises to be
the biggest bono of contention and the
chance thus far appears to lie between

spoken of But before another week pas.
SOS perhaps half q dozen other gentlemen
will shy their castor into the ring and try
to capture the nomination.

Chief Justice Charles B. Lore has hand

Mandamus Case to the effect that the
Board Of Canvass must convene and count
the vote cast at the late election That
the act recently passed by the Legislature
abolishing the Board of Canvass was de-
clared to bs ex-post fact and does not re.

The Democrats who expect to have their
Court OF Errors and Appeals which will
meet at Dover IL June Judges Grub
and Marvel with Chancellor Nicholson
will sit which does not bode any good for
q favorable decision from them in favor
Ct the Republicans. The other case which
was appeaied TO this same Court some
time ago was decided in favor Of the Dem
ocrats although the Law and Justice wers
en- tho side OF the Republicans.

letters were sent them both Of which they
have thus far failed to do the Doctor the
