Mr. Joy then addressed the Conven-

of standing by the Old Democratic Par

cared nothing about the nomination. If

Bnt lie had no sympathy or respect for
this Eiue Party, composed of all the ia
natics, ragamullins, and off-scourings of
all Gods creation. The Democratic
Party never supported an ism of any
kind. 1t was opposed to Know Moth
ing-iSm Abolition-iSm, Republican, ism,
and all kinds Of isBIs. The advocates
AMI leaders Of this Hodge-poge party are
greasy, Unlocking set, who never ap-
pear like other men You never see a
! long-haired. long-beardcd man that don t
belong to this party. And they are a
narrow, stingy set, unpatriotic, undemo-
cratic. knowing nothing but self and ia
naticism. They tried to shroud our CT
ty in mourning, and have the bells toll
ed on the National Day and it was a
hard fight for us to prevent it. We got
up a respectable Celebration, but they
were too mean and stingy to help us
not Id cent did any one of them
give to aid it. And all day long you
could see them sneaking and peakng
around the corners, looking as wistfully
as could be. But in the evening, when
the Fire Works came of. they could
come out and enjoy the sight! 1t was
! first-ratc 80 long as other folks got it
up, and they had nothing to pay for it.
He thanked the Convention for nomina-
