For three long weary boisterous hours
the Democrats fumed and fused and vot-
ed, in the Court House last Friday night.
1t was fearful and desperate maneuver-
ing. boyer had no trouble, for his ballots
were stuffed in to kill. Reddy O'Connell
and other leading and brainy young Demo-
Gratis, were ignored and compelled to take
a back seat. Such conduct will not con-
serve the interests Of the Democratic par
ty. The election of lthe junior member
Of the Democrat firm was sop that
will not "sop." Meanwhile the friends
Of the contending parties mean to con
unue the contest until right wins The
question now resolves Itself into this
queryo Who shall do tie printing for
the Democratic party, during the mex
campaign ?"

Not single Democratic newspaper in
West Virginia has alluded to the Ice
Trust in New York City, by which the
people are being robbed, and the poor al
most denied the use of ice. OF course
not. There is no tariff on ice, and the
81 200, 900 in the trust was contributed by
leading democrats. Every cent Of the
sock of the company is owned by demo-
Gratis. Hypocrits The poor, sweltering
people of New York will now enjoy the
Democratic cry of Trusts"
