enVfous have Democratic news
become over the harmonizing
~ the Republican party in West yir-
mia that they have had to fall
BACK upon the utterances of George
Mcintosh. E. NJ. Grant and the
Beck1ey Messenger. which is clear
evidence that they are in hard
taiEhts for consolation. The fact
.of the matter Is, the recent confer

Democrats and they are more ter
F6r-stricken than when Judge Goff's
name was lately mentioned in con-
neetiOn with the United States sem
afofBhip. The melancholy condition
of these poor Democratic publica-
tions is thus reviewed by the Par
kefsburg Dispatch-News:

disappointing convention to them
Democratic disposition to condemn

a6mber predictions as to what would

greater assemblage than had been
expacted; there wasn't a rift in the
