Old Line Convention Bright Floored.


ton for the lowest office, withse exception,
was de Gated in the Convention. The mighty
Jessie has been laid low, while the Wright D
influence, or the influence of the man Cotton :
of the Sentinel declared an "arrant dema- ?
gogue, p has been triumphant We cenaole
with the Evansville Old Line clique, who are G
of the real Bright stripe throughout. 1t is a
true the Convention adopted a resolution c
recommending Bright for the Presidency, but t
they could not well withhold this empty COM S
Fliment after knocking in the head all his ia {
v9rites before the Convention. Robinson found t
his prospects 50 bad for receiving the nominal
ton, that he made timely withdrawal, and
was afterwards poked in the chair of the Con-
vention as a slight Gilead balm to his political
wound. In speech he then and there made,
he declared that until month before the Con-
yention he had no thought of being a candi-
date for the nomination of Governor! Bah!
He has been working ike horse for the nom
ination the last six months. He thought /
many Of the Delegates were ignorant Of his /
being candidate at all! The Journal thus
speaks of this: s
Whether this condition of @0ld Line, infor-
nation in respect to himself alarmed him, or,
what Is more likely, after cosnting noses, par

he stood a capital chance to stand up only to !
be knocked down. he didn't say but he dbl
Isay that her concluded to withdraw, and that
those who urged his coming out were those
lwho advised his coming back again. We sus-
j pect that Mr.. Bright found that he was car
Irving an ugly load-an cold Man of the Sea-
hard to bear and hard 20 get rid of--and sug-
gested the withdrawal as a convenient mode
of keeping his own neck from getting broken
