off he said 1 I demand that no delegate in this convention who does not want to cast reflection upon me shall cast a further ballot for me he has a sense of we tae ridiculous an any how bishop fallows prayer praye is probably doing something kentucky cast one vote tor for frederick Frederik douglaas but fred did not get up and withdraw new york cast 59 votes voies for harrison A poll was demanded and taken north carolina has nine districts but one district the cinto sot got suppressed probably some democrat spread his overcoat on this district or stuff stuffed ed it away in a ballot box the national committee was charged with vast geographical ignorance the missing district was lound without the aid of pinkerton and a mr shook represented it tue the fifth ballot did not develop anything thin new sherman harrison and alger are most talked about it looks as it if gresham were politically defunct the blame blaine craze still exists and he is gaining with every ballot after this ballot recess was taken till 4 pm at 4 pm the convention came to order or to disorder after a long skirmishing fire adjournment was agreed on until monday morning at 10 the convention decad decided ed on adjournment by a vote of yeas to nays convention tickets were issued tor for five days one ticket with three coupons attached providing for a day of three sessions was issued tor forbach each day of five days now kow the vivai DAYS HAVE ELAPSED 9 but bat the convention is still there it was announced that the unused coupon on the fifth day ticket would se care on monday As the immense concourse filed into the streets comments were heard on every hand this was too much of a convention the visitors from distant parts thought it time to leave town and yet they would like to see the convention over however hopes are entertained that a speedy settlement will result on monday next the gresham men have great hopes this evening new york will iowa every time california will have nothing to do with sherman or hanison Hani Hard sou and 1120 allison it would not look at sonY then en arsham is the most favored bat gotherd cry tor for blaine and alger many individuals maintain that the protraction of the convention is the result of a bargain between hotels aud and delegates leKates de toe tae flambeau clubs cluba of kausas kansas are a special feature of this convention ven tion and they seem to wish that it would last just si Weeks MR withdrawal is said to be brought about by representatives senta tives of kansas nebraska and iowa having called on him and informed him that his business was distasteful and unpopular in the whole northwest mr depew says it means that the railroad men man of the country are to be dis franchised that to be a railroad man is to be a bar to public service that the railroad men are not to trusted and that they are to be denied the rights belonging to the humblest citizen in the land how pathetically mr le de paddy poses as a martyr the day after the battle he was one of tie the chief sachems who framed the utah plank in his party arty platform he listened with willing willing ear to the perjured vipers who misrepresented utan here and heeded their poisonous counsel in inserting a disfranchisement clause because of a mythical imaginary poly polygamy alleged to exist in utah on tse the evidence of mr Bridget Mc and mr OD awley mr depew is not a polygamist but now he is as practically dis franchised as if he came under the edmunds tucker irish disability bill god works in a mysterious way his wonders to perform senator Iti ingalls galls of kansas is quoted as saying that his party must put forward an obscure candidate somebody boda like li keHayes hayes in 1876 11 probably prevails among other leaders of the party and this may account for so 60 many men of the political dude type hype now present at the convention there is fred grant he has a war record he kicked harry donovan our late post office employed emp loye when harry was a newspaper reporter harry was a good democrat but a poor fighting man though physically he be ought to be he is a muscular looking fellow and stands fully six feet high besides harry is of irish parentage but the irishman who would allow fred grant to kick him is a poor specimen of humanity and is not fit to be a democrat probably that is why way he be was fired out of the post office a few months ago but harry is still alive and is a living illustration of fred grants war record and of 0 f freds physical prowess oro wess then hieu wh why y not start fred A good campaign could be made with him the republican platform is NOT KOT GIVING THE S satisfaction anticipated for it to old party followers pensioners recognize the fact that a revision of the tariff must inevitably come and that if the internal revenue is abolished the chances for pension payment aw am slim then again the church and christian following fol tn the party dont take very verv naturally to toe tree whisky idea T the lie prohibitionists call attention to the inconsistency and hollowness of ane platform and its efforts to arouse the abe baser feelings of americans for party purposes mr brooks the candidate tor for vice real dent of the prohibition party iersel tersely says of the republican platform that it alludes to slavery polygamy and feudalism as it if they were in in actual existence in the united states when it is known that the whole three are no longer questions of the hour and have been settled long ago the south pays most of the internal revenue and yet this is ia what the south promises as a pension guarantee fund probably a party may arise that will do away with a war tariff and with wita internal revenue by suppressing whisky and tobacco JUNIUS |
