iron-win of an Andrew Jackson, all

the old parties a short space in which
TO repent and seek pardon from the

of words known and unknown have
determined TO wait no longer. Expect
ing nothing now but q depressing ex-
hibition Of sanity by the democratic
convention at San Francisco. they
have decided to found a new party ana
nominate a candidate for the presi.
dency early in July. They are having
a little difficulty about the name Of
their new party. At first they thought
