The Chicago Republican is guilty of this
atroeious pun on the New York Conven-
ton: "Tanmany cooks spoil the BROTH"
The latest case of sonstroke is where
young Smith struck old Smith for calling
him Seymour man, or some other oppro-
bious epithet. t4-- e.. .-t .-sa
On the night of SeymouI's nomination the
Chase Club of New York met and resolved
to support Grant and Colfax, and then ai-
jouFned sine die.
The anagram of the words "Vote for Ho-
ratio Seymour" is "FOr you to have more
riots" The one contains the other exactly;
nothing more or less.
General o. o. Howard says the Freed
mems Bureau has cost but 100000 and
not S20, 900, as some pro-rebel new
papers are fond of stating.
An admirer of Mr.. Pendleton announces
that few copies of his life, by Mr.. Boss,
of the Cincinnati Enquirer, can still be had
at the bookstores Of that city.
Wade Hampton, Forrest, Barksdale, Pres
ton, Fairfax, Forsyth, Yerger, and other
rebel Democrats are 10 take the stump
against Grant in the free States.
Daniel S Dickinson used always to say
that he knew when Horatio Seymour most
desired to be candidate for office by the
peItinacity with which he defined it.
The Louisville Journal says that when
two or three Democrats are gathered to-
gether, there will the spirit of Democracy
be also. That's true, no matter what the
tax is.
The New York Herald says: "Lew Camp
bell delegate to the New York Soldiers
eonvention) goes back to his farm in Ohio,
and declares that Seymour won't carry a
State northwest of Ohio"
Charles Francis Adams, who has been
talked about as likely to act hereafter with
the Democratic party, openly and freely
expresses his disgust with the platform Of
the New York convention.
The nomination of Blair was the last straw
to br ak the camefs back. When the vote
was being taken, an Alabama delegate made
this significant announcement: Gas rebel
soldier in Alabama, / take pleasure in cast
ing her vote for Frank P. Blair.n
The Pittsburg Gazette, in abiding to the
California delegate who gave half vote for
Chase, says:
1.-THE evecutors of the Chief Justice should
hunt up the courageous man, or half man,
who SO much honored him, and make some
suitable acknowledgment of the deed"
The New York Commonwealth thus nips
III lue Duu d TuUlOI detrimental TO the Iowa
big oX:n The report that the nomina-
ton of Seymour hau such an effect upon
Henry Clay Dean that he put on clean
shirt is unfounded. Dean says he never did
such thing in his life, and we believe
him."
Some surprise has been expressed that
Blair should consent to take the second
place on the ticket. This cunning fellow
knows that Seymour's wind is not good. In
every race that that demagogue ever ran he
set out in the lead and came In on the home
stretch at the tail end. Blair is not very
well up in constitutional law, and he thinks
if he gets more votes than Seymour he has
a sure thing on the Presidency.
Some of Chase's friends are irving to get
up third party, and run him upon a modi.
fed Democratic platform, with some unob-
jectionable man for Vice.President, and by
thus securing a balance of power from the
Conservative ranks, INDUCE Mr. Seymour to
withdraw. Mr.. Chase does not consider
that he is so far committed to the action of
the New York convention as to prevent his
running as an independent candidate, if
deemed advisable by his friends.
The New York Sun, which shines for all,
draws fine bead on General Blair in the
following;
The fatal point of the Democratic ticket
is the nomination of General Frank p.
Blair, Jr,, for the Vice-Presidency. Cen
eral Blair is jolly good fellow, first
rate fighter, great on a stump speech, and
a strict temperance man.
One of the Largest and most enthusias-
tic ratification meetings which the Demo.
cratic press heralded over the country last
week was that at Louisville, at which Prem.
tice and number of eX.rebels spoke, The
Democrat of that lefty, also a Democratic
paper, which has Seymour and Blair at the
head of its columns, says of this affair: 1t
was brought about by hiring q band and
burning tar barrels, and was about as spon.
taneous as the combustion of a lucifer
match, that is cold until you give it right
hard scratch"
A Brooklyn paper has the following:
Among the many signi6C ant incidents of
the late convention there was one occur
renee which forcibly impressed us. We
have not seen it noticed elsewhere. When
the reputation plank in the platform was
read, IL met with strange wild burst of
vociierous applause. A quiet looking man,

struck the table with involuntary emphasis, |
and uttered the startling exclamation: "By |

Young, ardent, able, ande courageous,

Mr.. Bowles, of the Springfield Republican,
wrote from New York to his paper as fol.
ows on the day of the Democratic nomina-
ion:
The happiest men tonight are the Repub.
leans. Converts to Grant are abundant. |
The nominations fell like pail upon Wall /
treet and in business circles, where the
]hase movement was very popular. Only |
ARTISAN Democrats assume to be pleased OF
o hope for the success of the ticket. The
eneral opinion Of all Republicans, and
lsO of all Independent men, is that il In
ures the election Of Grant and Colfax.
