Knox? Who appointed them? What
notice was there given oil meeting for
the purposel Whas meeting was ever
held? None ha, we can hear Of. Who
we're their constituents? Whom did they
represent? Why, forsooth as far as our
knowledge extends, the constituents of
George Browning and Gilman Bryant,
were none other than Gilman Bryant and
George Browning; self-constiluled and
self appointed they go TO Columbus and

Let us look into the doings of this
mighty representative" assemblage.--
First, and strangesi, they recommend
NATIONAL CONVENTION to meet
at Pittsburgh, on the I'd Monday of June
1888, for he purpose of selecting Wing
candidates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency!!! A National Convention!
A Rucker Humbug!!! Oh! the degeD-
eracy of the times. when the pure and
undefiled ard immaculate whis party, re-
solve to put into operation the corrupt
machinery of convention nominations.

object OF National Convention To
unite their forces they say on single

views Of Messrs. Calhoun aud Webster
coincide, but in a reckless hatred of the
powers that be, and an itching palm for
