acclaimed as united many times in the
last year or two, and buttressed by cash

most entertaining spectacle to those
who have been regaled in late months
by stories of strivings only for the
publication of the party. Pretenses
of working only for the glory of the
Democracy have now been thrown to

The candidacy of Vance c. McCor-

for Governor is being as bitterly op-
posed in his native city as it is in some
of the river wards of Philadelphia,
and in spite of every effort to decry it
an organization is working here for
the nomination of his rival, Michael

arrayed against him and the row at

part from the State at large and part
from congressional districts.

These provisions were adopted with
a view to eliminating contests before

adopting a new basis of representa-

who maintained that inasmuch as no
methods were provided by the existing
laws of the various States for the cleo
