BITIoUs MEMBER is DISAPPOINTED.
An ambitious member from Indiana,
at this juncture, determined at one
shrewd stroke to immortalize himself and
secure an Office under Grant; raising him
self to his full height, and throwing his
head back with all the importance Of his
imagined mission, commenced: "Mr.
chairman and gentlemen Of the Conyen-
ton, as the Convention is now organized.
I move we nominate by acclamation Gen.
4 eral Ulysses s. ." Cries of sshold on. !"
and laughter and Kisses promptly took
all the starch out of the delegate, and be
dropped crestfallen into his chair.
It seemed that programme had been
arranged with which the ambitious men,
Der from Indiana was not acquainted, A
certain committee had been appointed by
the sailors and soldiers to first speak Of
1.-THE great Ulysses in open Convention,
i and this was to be done with certain
ceremony, designed to have magical ef-
feet. General Fairchild, of Wisconsin,
lin behalf Of the sailors and soldiers, re-
ported a resolution recommending the
nomination Of General Grant. This res
lolution was read with large amount of
yelling and swinging of hats. Ano ther
Indiana member, Ex-Governor Lane,
thinking the time had fully come, made
an attempt to be the man to move the
nomination Of Grant BY acclimation, This
/ motion seemed likely to 60 through with
commendable enthusiasm when amember
from New York, an old Conventioner,
igot up, and, in short speech, convinced
1.-THE Convention that it was not yetorgan-
lied; the Committee on Credentials was
not ready to report. g,

! Ex-Governor Brown, of Georgia, was
[called on for speech. This he deliver
led with brass and gusto. He professed
to have abandoned the Calhounist kind
Iof States right doctrine, the EXTREMIST
Isecessiorism, for the old Federal doc
