writing about. The only symptoms of movement are
those exhibited in the political circles, and beyond the

days since they extremely faint. On Monday
the democrats hold their primary ward meetings
when delegates to conventions nominate tickets for
candidates for the State Assembly for the city
the other for the county and also delegates city and
county conference for the nomination Of candidates
city and county officers will be elected Of course the
expectants are busy intriguing for nominations. The
wings have not yet begun to move and the natives ap
pear to hold of for the presentas fearful of coming up
to the scratch.
