Buren & Co. plsyee Cass 10 1878, in the State Of
New York, will this year be played with Pierce in
Ohio" Many free so'lers here on the Reserve take
practical view OF rhs subject, and argue that " Of
two eyis choose the least; !" and, Of course, know
ing that either Scott Pierce must be elected wish
to throw their and influence in favor of the
former, who is far aose satisfactory to them than
his opponent This however. as some Of their
newspapers u~geu could DOT be done without ga

hard to be obviaed, hut mt last plan hit upon
which bid fair 10 oelp them out of their difficulty
twas this. Procure withdrawal Of Hale, aud tho
nomination Of Chase democratic free soiler Of this

one Of the tseDts ,iousaDd woig free sellers on tue

posed Hale's positive declination would prevent
their kicking ana lounciDg in any degree SO to
a copy Of Hales letter, and as it was matter too
good to keep, after mature deliberation he decided
to publish it day or TWO in advance of the
ton; and thus make complete clincher Of the
whole affair Accordingly it was published in
the Tribune OF Monday morning, in the Herald
Forest Guy, and TtSe Democrat, Of this city
on Tuesday, and in the Pittsburg papers on
the morning Of the convention. 1t was published
without single word of comment, they being fear
ful that if any JOY manifested over the affair."
the democratic portion Of the delegates would choke
Hales nomination down their throats at oil events
But they we're caught in their own trap. Their ex-
traordinary s,leIce aroused the attention Of Spaul
ding, and others C4 the democratic portion Of the
wing, from Ohio, Penney lvania and New York, who
at glance conprehended the plot, and resolved to
nominate Hale uolers roens. The aspect ofths game,
and tho complexion Of the players did not suit
other delegates were apprised Of it, and it
demned almost unanimously. "Or design" said

would have from seven TO ten thousand. Whore il |
