The Baltimore skedaddle is over with
and the Great American Humorist is re-
nominated for the Presidency. Good: -
-Four years since the Democratic party
made nomination in Baltimore AT least
q portion Of the party there made q nom.
ina,ion, and then another portion made
another nomination. II is our opinion that
Baltimore is not good place for presi.
dental nominations. Chicago is better .
at least it was four years since, and we
believe it will prove SO this year again.
Lincoln is renominated. There was an
array of one horse talent there. Seven
hundred spectators witnessed the enter

well over wi,h-a fighting bIrlesque on
the the main show with its garuiture OF
blood, debt, taxation, imbeciIity, corrup
ton and doubl dealing.
1t was gay party! Provost Marshals
were there; Postmas,ers we're there: Brig.
adler Generals were there revenue col
lectors, eontraband agents, cotton specu.
lators, one horse members Of one.horse
legislatures, land ofleers, Indian agents
and starving politicians we're there, each
one with a vote for the great dispenser of
greenback patronage and obscene jokes
But in that crowd there was not single
stakesman-there was not a man but who
would sacrifice his friends or his country
for some Office more or less remuuerative
AS he should prove. On anal yzation, to be
more or less ambitious or dishonest.
May God in His mercy preserve the ma.
