statement that be had authority from
President Grant to use the Customhouse as
place of meeting for the convention, and
to bring the United States troops there for
its protection will prove unfounded. We
can not think that President Grant would
pursue course so utterly suicidal. He
has hopes for denomination. but he can
not be so insane as to imagine that the
members of the Republican party viii per-
NIT any man to be forced upon them as
their nominee for President at the point of
the bayonet.
1t is useless for Republicans to longer
keep quiet while the right of meeting or of
expression of opinion is denied them. While
the Republicans are ready to support 1.-The
candidates who shall be honestly nomi-
mated, no matter whether their first choice
or not, they will not give their support to
candidates who may be counted in," as
General McCook was in the Democratic
convention in Ohio, nor will they submit to
be deprived of their right to representation
at the'beck of the political adventures who
appear to be the prime favorites of the pres
emit administration. The day has passed
when otfice-holders could control the peo-
pie, and the attempt of public servants to
overawe them with military or paid bullies
will prove failure If General Grant is
responsible for the action of Collector
Casey, Marshal Packard and the rest of the
office-holders of New Orleans, he has by
that one act destroyed whatever chance he
had for a denomination.

WHO Is RESPONSIBLE

The news from the Republicans of New
Orleans is not cheering. Two State con-
ventions were held there last week-one
headed by Governor Warmoth, and the
other by Collector Casey and the rest of
the federal officers. The split in the party
is not the worst feature of the Louisiana
trouble The very worst feature is the
assumption of United States officials to
control political conventions by the bayonet.
The convention was called by. these officials
to meet in the Customhouse-th first time
to our knowledge that partisan political
convention was ever held in public build
ing of the United States. Soldiers were
stationed at the entrances, and no dele
gates who were suspected of being opposed
to the federal ofice-holders were permitted
to enter, although they presented their GER
tificates of eleetion'as delegates to the con-
vention. We trust that Marshal Packard's

The One Horse Sprague Mower.

TIL, MACHINE is new and s built expressly tor
use with one horse. Some manufacturers have built
Mower to be used either with one or two horses,
a. the convenience of the farmer may require. This
has proved to be mistaken course, us Mower de-
signed for two horses must necessarily be stronger
er exerted by the team than one to be used with one
horse. Another point is that when using q single
horse on Machine, built for two, the labor for the
horse is hard. The impression exists therefore.
that a one horse machine cannot be built that will
work as we'll with one horse as the regular machine
does with two horses. We have determined to cor
rect this wrong impression by building truly prac-
ticable One Horse Mower.
Our thills shafts are firm and strong, yet have
neat and tasteful appearance, and have been pro
nounced by many moving machine men the best
that have ever been attached to Mower.
We have taken the greatest care IN the construc,
ton of the machine that the horse inside shoe and
RIGHT hand drive wheel shall all in the cleared
track. The Inside Shoe is Of malleable iron, com
binnp li0htness with strength, and allowing the use
Of a Cutting apparatus weighing less than onchah
Of that used in the Two Horse Mower. These i'm
portant advantages, taken in connection with the
strong points Of the two horse machine, which are
all included in the One Horse Mower, make 1t the
light machine of the world.
All who wish to cut their grass with one horse,
should before purchasing, see the Light Sprague
Mower the only really practical one horse Mower in
the world. <. A. CALDERWOOD, Agent.
