assembled, nominated Mr.. +. P. Brock for
Asselnhlyman, Saturday last. after one Of the
sharpest contests that ever took place with

mat his admonitions were not needed by
the convention.
Inc struggle for the nomination lay be-

they that for long time it was not safe to
venture an opinion as to which of the gen
tlemen would succeed. 1t was vainly at

to the field to still the troubled waters. but
each side displayed true grit and stood by.

Some say this nomination had it's con-
ceptlon away in the past and consequently
1t is not so very surprising after all and
that the bondholders are not especially dis
posed to find fault with the decision arrived
at by the convention, which we think is nat
ural enough. We believe the people of this
assembly district have slight recollection
that this same F. P Brook was the bond
holders candidate for the Assembly about
two years ago, and was then defeated in
the end he had in view, namely-to repre-
sent the interests OF the few against the
many of this district, in the legislature.
Since then we do not apprehend Mr. Brook
has undergone any change of sentiment,
neither do we imagine the people of this
Assembly District have, and as conse-
quence we think Mr.. Brook will be asked in
very decisive manner to stay at home.

Il Sham Fight. We have all often
read of Kings and Princes getting up sham
fights for their diversion and amusement
Sovereign citizens sometimes engage in the
same sport for purposes of deception and
treachery. A case has but recently trans
pired in our city. Last Friday night, after
the democratic caucusSes for The election of
delegates to the Assembly District Conven-
ton had been held and when all was over,
an elaborate scene, such as we have alluded
to, was enacted in one of our most promi-
nent saloons, to pull the wool over the eyes
of people, and mislead those present as to
the relations of the two Peter.Funk opera
tors; the dramatis personae being William
M. Dennis and F. P Brook, the Bondhold-
er's candidate for Member OF Assembly
Their performance, however, was executed
too bunglingly, and all saw through the
ow trick at a glance. First they began to
argue, then to differ slightly, then to dis
pute, then to be excited, then to be vehe
threaten, then to call hard names, then to
shake their fists in each others face, and
finally to pretend to strike, when the par
ties were of course separated by the audi
ence, after which the very mellon drama
was concluded by Dennis jumping up and
with an air of injured innocence, exclaim-
ing, 'sYou have all accused Pete Brook of
being my tool, you now know it
is id lie for you see how he treats me.
The next day when the Democratic conVen-
ton was in session, and there was nobody
around, as they supposed, to witness the
F ,rtormance, the couple might have been
seen in the Fruit and Confectionery store
on the bridge, chuckling and grinning to-
gether over the nice way they chad come

them. 7a

was too thin--every one present saw the

localities those who had policies in the COM
