And yet Mr. Wallace was not the chok-o of the Democracy; but the Democracy were compelled to take him, because its anti-monopoly instinct.'? could not break down the power whi.di the mam moth corporations brought to bear to secure his election. It is even said, so far does ru mor go, that Simon Cameron had quite a hand in bringing about the result, because, as he was compelled to have a Democratic colleague, he prefercd Wallace, as being more docile, to Buckatew, Black or either ot the other' Democrats named for the position. We are not by any means sure that the rumor is not correct, for from all accounts there is that in ring-fjilowship which oft-times make strange bod-fellows wondrous loving iudecd. There is no mistaking one thing in thi connection, and that is, the position on the Senatorial nucstion of the distinguished per former on the Democratic Organ, over the way. lie was not iu favor ol'Wm.

But, bless your soul, the members Vom hereabouts paid no more attention to the tune the Organ was pla ing than though it was played for other loadings than theirs, t pl.tyed anti-Wallace most vehemently, while they sang Wallace right lustily every time, or . skulked home, on long leave of absence, to avoid all danger from entangling alliances.

Scarce ly had the party entered the house before up went the carpets and impious feet were whirl ing through the dizzy maze keeping time with the fascinating and excellent music fur nished by the baud.
