The Grs. Grand Fight Of The Campaign

The different factions of the Hamilton
county delegation to the 9Th January Conven-
tion had grand fight at the Neil House, a
bout midnight, on Friday evening last. 1t
was the first of the Campaign. and deserves
to be duly chronicled
The Cincinnati delegation is composed Of
about 80 members. They are entitled to
cast 81 votes. At a preliminary meeting of
the delegation it was manifest that the AIt-
nhniS were in the ascendant. Some disputed
cases arose, and every one was decided in q
very summary way, against the ,SawbackS,
and in favor Of the Miamis without stopping
10 look into he right or justice Of the cases.
it was then found that there was a vacancy in
one of the townships. The Sawbucks de-
olared that the person to be appointed should
he from the unrepresented township. But
this was disregarded, and Miami was pushed
in. The stream by this time. got high, and
blew off loud. The red-faced jew, who flour
ished SO largely, was there, as the special or
gan of SaWJucks. He denounced the whole
proceedings as corrupt REEMELIE, also del
egate, demonstrated. To cap the climax, they
proposed that one from The delegation should
be selected to cast the entire vote of the dele
+sation, and that a majority of the delegates
should have the power to Instruct how that
vote should be cast. This was adding insult
toiWury. 1t was annihilatug the strength Of
the Sawbucks at blow 1t WAS not to be
endured. FARAN, one of the editors Of the
Enquirer cohId not stand this move, and took
vigorous grounds against it. But The Miamis
arcstrone in Hamilton county,and in the State
they tied to vote the proposition through,
and PROSTATE the Saw wbucks, but failed. Then
came remonsirances and denuncations.-
From high words, they soon cmne TO blows
"A rush was made upon The SawbuckS, and
the reG-faced gentleman was soon mounted
crushed and terrahly beaten. FARAN was
.attacted, and badly beaten. REE&ELIN was
seen naiing 2 strait shoot for the outside
door, and escaped without damage 1t was
row and fight worthy Capt RYNDERs, and the
Empire Club, in The pamy days of Tammnny
Hall. Indeed, the Miami T4ibe in the West
and the Empire Club Of the East, are the two
great props of modern Locofocosn.
But we digrcss. When confusion was at
dts height, somebody started after the night
watch. The rioters swung their fists in per-
feet phrensy. The cool Democrats Of Other
counties stepped in and tried 10 pacify the
combatants. "BoLLY" was demonstrated
with, and entreated to preserve the peace as
row would disgrace the party as well as the
men engaged in it. He acceded to everything
that was said. and ayowed himself a peace
man-"as soon as he could give jim FARAN
ID iic&ing."
Saturday, the bruised and beaten Saw
bucks were kept within doors, The fight was
a victory to the Mamis, of IA very decided
character 1t had all the ingredients of the
lrdicrous and the disgracefuI. 1t was fair
exponent of Hamilton county Locofocoism-
A certain Judqe JACOB Finn was promi
nent actor, AS citizen of Columbus, we re-
spectfu:iy suggest to these gentlemen the
proprety Of doing up their lighting before
they leave home. We shall certainly feel it
our duty to expose them if they change the
venue Of their operations from Hamilton to
Franklin county.-O. S. Journal
