NKW YORK FOB CLEVKLANU,
itiio Democrats of New York held
their state convention on Wednes
day. The meeting was harmonious,
tbs various organizations of New
York city agreeing upon a division
of delegates. It is said Hint two-
thirds of the delegates elected to
thy Rational convention are in favor
of Cleveland, and as the instruc-
Algos of the convention were that
the,Relegates should vote as.a unit,
it will give Cleveland a solid dele
gation. „ ,
COUNTRY FRESH ASSOCIATION.
We notice in the Warrenton
Clipper a oall far the organization
and all publishers oi papors who
desire to join the Association are
requested to address W. I). Sul
liven, True Citizen ofllce, Waynes-
boro, Da., suggesting time and
place of meeting. As we arc not
IHisted as to the object of organiz
ing such an' association, and as
there is already a press orgnniz*
atidb Ih the State, we cannot see
what is to be gained by it.
