lonr years more of Grover—possibly eight, Congressman Hammond is in Washington. The Monticello Times oould not buc k the Democrat and has suspended. A fitting demise. Democrats will have control of the U. 8. senate after the 4th of March. The proceeding of that secret caucus are not yet forthcoming.— Democrats, generally, want to kno iv the half dozen who resolved themselves to be tbe leaders of the the party Referring to a certain class of office-seel.eis, the Delphi Times very truthfully says: “If these fellows had worked as hard during the campaign as they have since, possibly * * county would not have done such a complete job of slumping last fall.”
