Nomina tion i'm Hamilton County

Nomination In Hamilton County.
A good time the Negro Sufrageites in
Hamilton county must have had on yester-
day in their nominating Convention.
For weeks the Commercial and Gazette
have been quarreling-the former charg-
| ing the candidate of the latter for County
Treasurer, with being deserter, with be-
ing controlled by ring of desperate poll
ticians, with being part and parcel of the
SANDS clique, &C., while both the Gazette
and Commercial Joined hands in abusing
General CARY, who dared to offer himself
as candidate for Congress against one of
the proprietors of the Gazette, supported
by the Commercial.
When the day of trial came, the CONNER
cial carried its candidate tor Treasurer, and
thetwo papers Joined, carried their candidate
for Congress. Gen. CARY, who has made
fame as Temperance Lecturer, sent let
ter to the President of the meeting, which
Mr.. ex-senator HAYDEN, who occupied
that position, refused to allow to be read.
The Commercial says: -e-
The President then stated that the busi-
ness of the Convention was to nominate
candidate for Congress, in place of r. B.
Hayes. resigned.
Mr.. L. c. Weir, Fourteenth Ward, nom
mated Mr.. Richard Smith.
| Mr. E. L. Craven, Fourteenth Ward,
moved to make the nomination OF Mr..
Smith, by exclamation, as there were no
other names before the Convention.
No other name, not, even that of 5. +.
Cary, having been put in nomination, Mr..
Smith was elected by reclamation as
the nominee of the Convention for Con-

cheer followed this, and then the form of
S. F. Cary arose in the dress circle, front
row. Mr.. Cary evidently wanted to say
something, and Immediately all eyes were
turned upon him. Amid some confusion
Mr.. Cary said: "My name has been spoken
of in connection with the candidacy for
| Congress in the Second District. There is
lotter upon the Presidents table declin-
! ing the honor of the nomination from this
! Convention that desired to have read. l
understand the President of the Conven-
tion refused to read it. l would like to
have it read that my friends may know
why withdrew my name as a candidate
from this Convention. IT the gentleman
will pass it over will make it part of
my remarks. sIf i-a3- Z 80.
The Chairman now attempted to make
few remarks in explanation, as it seemed,
/ of his refusal to read the letter. He was
interrupted by the tremendous confusion
prevailing in all parts of the house, and
the conflicting cries of Hayden" and
Cary'' indulged in by the Convention.
After the noise had in some measure sub
| sided, MIR. Hayden again attempted to ex-
plain. He was understood to say that the
paper had been handed to him by person
whom he did not know to be delegate.
He had adzreturned it advising that it should
be formally presented to the meeting for
their action. That was the position in
which the Chair stood, and the Conven-
ton woull determine whether it was the
correct one. Loud applause.]
Mr.. Cary resumed-I do not intend to
detain you. know you have hard, la
-borious and important days work before
you, but as my name has been connected
with the candidacy for Congress in this
District, and have given my friends to
understand tiiat would be candidate,
1 concluded this morning to write note
to the Convention declining the candidacy.

Mr.. Cary proceeded to read the letter,
which was received with confused applause
and Kissing. f-.'

The following county Ticket was then
nominated:
For Treasurer, Capt. John Sebastian; Re-
corder, Gen. Thos. l.. Young; County Com
missioner, Chas. ". Rechman; Director of
County lnfirmary, Geo. +. Eichenlaub;

In the proceedings, as reported, we are
reminded of trick of gambler who had
stolen most of the best cards from the pack,
which he placed, as he supposed without
observation in his lap, to be used as occa-
sion required. One of his opponents see
ing the operation, stole one of the cards,
played it and won the game. The original
thief, as soon as he saw the card, sprang
from his seat and swore there was cheating
going on, and he would play no more
Our opinion is that the whole Convention
was cheat, and that the greatest scamps
cheated most and were most successful.
