II must omit to say whe were the
other candidates, who came to this
convention because convention
omitted to name them.
After We had been edited as above,
Robert CofEeld, Esq, the Union can
didate for Representative in the lower
branch of the Legislature, came for
ward to make speech and reply to
the rebel hash and rehash. Yet he
was notified that he could not; be-
cause, why? The unwashed had to
hold a convention, and their business
was not vet completed. So, it wasn't
and SO it amt yet. Well, they organ
lied a convention. and some one made
motion to declare this convention
independent of all control of the
Democratic State Central Committee.
But Mr.. Bradley believed this to be
an outrage, and made a speech, which
stirred from the bottom the are of
Honorable Mover, who first turned
red, and then white, then ashy, and
choked up, but said nothing.
! Another honorable gentleman, see
ing the milk in the nut, made some
remark, whereupon Hon. Bradley
made movement in that direction
repeating loudly enough, II know
you 1 know youl" The other gent
calmly asked, DO you know me
we'll? Hen. Bradley said, :" Yes [
do. Well. then, (saysa 1.-THE i'm

treats with backward step. bowling
apologies, and turning red aud white
around the gills in his turn. A mo-
ton was made to go into nominations.
Persons began to- retire. A motion
was made to dissolve the body. The
motion was not put, yet the body dis
solved, went out, uqnaosed the, ranch.
No nominations were made, and no
other business was transacted. Thus
ended the last edition OF Conven-
ton of the harmonious Democracy,
the shallowest of all shallow farces.
After this farce had been played,
the Union men present met In the
court room and listened with good
attention to an eloquent, patriotic,
stirring speech for three quarters of
an hour from Robert lCofield,. their
candidate for the State Legislature,
in which he told the Democracy a
good many wholesome though anpal-
atable truths. IN 49,. az
Q With this speech ended the public
exhibitions of the DAY. The Union
party of Crittenden County we're more
than satisfied with its results They
are confident that the work was, well
done for them, and wish that the har-
monious Democracy may meet often
between now and August, and expect
the same scenes. The prospects of
our party were never better for sue
cess In old Crittenden.
Berry S. Young is the candidate of
the Union party for the Office of
Clerk of the County Court. His abil-
ity as Clerk is well known and appre-
ciated, even by his enemies. Ali ac-
knowledge his eminent quali6ca-
tions.
His opponent is r. w. Wilson, of
Marion Up to the 10th inst, one
James &. Jones, a straight-out rebel, |
was candidate for that Office; but by
some hook or crook he was crowded |
off by his rebel friends, to make room
for Mr.. Wilson, who for one while |
had the reputation of being Union
man; subsequently, for another while,
was called Conservative Union man;
but who Joined the rebel party last
year; acted with them; voted with |
them, and has been counted |
one of them, although he claims now
still to be Conservative. He, however,
knows that his support must come
mainly from the rebel party. Every
rebel almost in the country, however
rabid and vindictive he may have
have been, is for Wilson.
They hope to beat Young. because |
he has the odiam Ito them, at least |
of having belonged for time to the
Federal army which whipped them so
/ hope he may gain as sig
nal victory over them now, as the |
army did then. CRITTENDEN.
