bat six OF the twcnty-one precincts and
the Democrats from but twelve. There
were no Silver Republican delegates. as
there are but Two of that party IN the
county. The Democrats were the superior
politicians anu took what offices they
wanted, which the PopuliSts feebly resent
ed. Nominations went begging throughout
