A Grand, Old, wide.and.Broad
Spun, Secret Political CLIQUE.

As a general rule. the Democrat
/ viii Ego" the ticket nominated q
New York, and Republicans mus
not hatter themselves that the Tam
many nomination will defeat itseli
S But there are instances in which tn
a members Of that party repudiate tn
swindle pcrpetrated upon them, ant
refuse to support the ticket there pu
in nomination. r-Tr
; The GAINESVILLE Germaaia, a Dem
ocratic German paper utterly Iepu
diates the doings at New York
That paper says, after giving the
matter the greatest attention ant
following the doiugs Of the Conven,
ton with the highest interest, 1t is
impelled to speak its "cAndid and
impartial opinion" that the result
Of the Convention "is not the will
Of the Democratic people, but that
it is only The work Of grand, old,
wide-and- broad spun, secret politi-
cal clique" And the Germania,
warming in its Indignation, adds :
"Can patriots stand it with calm
blood to be thus humbugged by the
politicians, and, like greenhorns, say
to this political faeSse: Yea and
Amen?Wp 1 I9'9S 'jt q tsa
The Germdn,q pronounces the
nomination the work Of "Belmont,
the rich banker and bondholder,"
and declares that it is "rathcra ret
regarding in the old ways of De.
mocracy, that once destroyed the
party, unless 1t be considered that
the nomination Of Blair, who, in his
letter to the New York Convention,
preached quasi rebellion and the iu-
stallation ofthe President as d die
tator, be a sign that Democracy will
open wayto the prosperity and
freedom Of the country n'ni '
The Germaaid says the people
expected a renewed, newly made,
vigorous Democracy" and that old
.wire-pullcrs ofthe party would be
set aside Bit in this the people
were cheated. "a Vdllandigham
was the man to bring the 'nomina-
tion Of Seymour on the carpet; a |
notorious rebel, General Forrest,
Wade Hampton, and more OF the
same calibre, frame. the platform,
give the key note aud play the big
bass fiddle, and the Innocent dele,
gates dance around the igaas fatNuS
md, like bugs, barn their wings; a
{. Blair, who not long ago stood
b miserable light, IS put at the
head, as if he had through his rebel
letter TO the Convention, not only
received perfect remission for his
sins, bnt also earned full grace"
The Feymania warns the party
that while such things are applaud
ed by rebels, they are received "with
great Indignation on the part of
war Democrats, who, finding them
selves deceived, will again tear
themselves loose from the party en-
acting them" And it adds that
she war Democrats are already
speaking out upon this matter, and
hat "consternation and anguish
ire in the Democratic camp and
hat no "Democrat who will face
he truth can "deny that the Dem
'cratic National Convention was n :
lis carriage, and the nomination a q
windle and q blunder." The Ger !
adaia concludes its scathingly a
ruthful article by declaring that 7
the last chance was given the Con
ention to help Democracy to the 9
ccptre, by the placing Of men OF y
rogrcss-of tried Unionism and I
nswerying honesty before the !
eopIe, but it missed its mission !
fell into wrong hands, - C2eve- :
