BouSD BRooK. n. ]. Aug. 2th. 1874.
To The Editor Of tie Tribune:


Yesterday our quiet village was thrown in
quite commotion by the Loco-F Foco gathering.
You recollect some three weeks since the Wings
had very large meeting at Milestone, N. J.
The Locos determined to get this Milestone of
their necks Sc they issued flaming hands-biils an
noancinr S. Wright, Buchanan, Butter, Whiting
aud dozen other Of tbcir biggest men. Tam
many Hau was appealed to to send the faithful to
swell the numbers They did make out to raise
with all the deception they could make use of
quite respectable meeting, out they must try
again 10 get off that Milestone. The best Joke
was that the Plebeian came out this morning with
this caption Tnir;y Thousand Democrats in
The 6eld"-" Three Thousand Ladies' Three
Thousand Wagons" &c. The Plebeian was
shown TO some Democrats. They all cried out
Thiglie! They had no .adies they said, at least
not more than thirty or forty. But suppose 1t
was as near the truth as the Plebelan generally
comes. The truth is the Locos are in the last
aronies OF death. The Poke root tea has thrown
them in spasms-,heir last efforts are harmless.
