Show A deplorable sue sur SPECTACLE TIIE tile so called publican republican Ke convention held in th this is city on saturday a description crip tion of which was given incur in our oar local columns presented a humiliating spectacle it calls for the si ili iii pathy of the calm and dispassionate class of the community to see men so far forget themselves as to turn W what hat should be a deliberative assemblage into so something methin bearing no vei vel very yra remote blote resemblance to a howling howlin mob the more consistent people are anxious to see men aspirin aspiring to political olita prominence show that they hey at least know how bow to behave themselves with some degree of decency what benefit can accrue to anybody by supplanting lautin lantin sense with

manly principles for men to circulate detrimental statements regarding fellow members of their own on pofi political party with a view to heading off any influence they might wield in convention or elsewhere nobody can endorse such a course as that such proceedings roce edin s as those of saturday last are iut gut but a repetition of similar gatherings in the past but we advise reformation it
