dAy satisfied me. My ears Wuz stunned
with roars for Grant; whichever way l
turned my eyes | saw nothln but Grant
badges and Grant medals; the bands wuz
all playin the Star Spangled Banner and
SIGH, and even the street gan-grinders he'd
sttooned their Tyres to the same Ablishun
melodies. -rsQ ~
On my arrival | askt avishus boy, witch !

of the fewness Of the delegates on the iloor'
but al their pecOOlyer appearance. They

That wicked an, pelYerse boy MAD IN
tenshnelly deceived te.
Unable TO Obtane admission into the
Opera House, whiled away the rosy hours
a yisitin the deegashen rooms. The lnge'
any delegashen offered me water when IN
timated wuz athirst. The Ohio delegashen
knew me on site and rekested me to dust;
and the Californy delegashen, Nv wich l
expected better things, he'd the impudeuce
to offer me wine Wine! Wine to feed
SIGH nose ez / carry about. Wine to
satisfy the cravins NV SIGH stumick ez
minel Faugh! And the man who did it
he'd bin in Csliforny twenty years,
Disguised at the thinness OF the beverages,
retired into friendly hosiery KEPT 9y
Dennis OShaughnessy, and at his hospltable
bar solaced myself with three fingers Nv
Kentucky sustenance.
There WuZ no enthoosiasm among the CIT,
liens NV Chicago witch / materially fell
among. The sloon keepers which in re-
membrance NV the Democratic Conyenshun
Nv 1864 had made extra preparashuns, wuZ
gloomy, sad, and disappointed. These pla.
Ces garnished for the occasion wuz sad and
lonely. There Wuz an entire absence NV
that gentle gurgle witch to me is so pleasing,
there Wuz none Of the generous noses and
faces lighted up with the radiance born NV
the bari which am so accustomed TO. NO,
Chicago WuZ no place Tor me.
Its the last Republican convention shell
ever attend. The idea of a conference sittin
in the same city with a conveEshen! The
idea of mingling politics with religion
Win there be conferences in Moo York IN
Jooly? Methinks not onless indeed my
church shood decide to hold one.
On my return VIC wuz a settin in Bascom's
a discussin the nominashens. gekin Pro,
gram Wuz indignant. " Good Heavens J!
sed he, with horror in his sainted face,
kin it be that men perfessin nashnel
views wood offer SIGH an insult to Kentucky
eZ TO nominate SIGH a man ez Grant, who,
sword in hand devastated her fertile fields
and piled the bodies NV her nOotral sons,
who resisted his advance, mountains high!
