ED. FREEMAS:-On next Saturday will
be the Democratic primary or delegate
| election. We hope that all districts of the
county will be represented by good and
| true Democrats as delegates to the conven-
tion on Monday next. That our conven-
tion will be harmonious we have no doubt
and that they will select good men TO the
franchise of the people. men of tried and
sterling Democracy, men of ability and
without blemiSh to fill the offices at the
ensuing election. is the heartfelt wish of
the writer. BY so doing feel confident
that the Democracy of Cambria will get
on its feet again, for can we not trace our
defeat in this county to diSseSSions among
ourselves? The bitterness which was en-
gendered among democratic office seekers
was the cause of the dismem berment %
of our party in Cambria.
We now believe that all is harmony and
if the delegates select good men from
among our party we will win the fight at
the coming election for, we remarked
last week, there is growing diSseSSion
among the rank and file of the Republi-
cans of our county. Let every lover of the
good cause put his shoulder to the wheel
and keep the Democratic van moving, and
we feel assured chat after the November
election We can shout, victory.
