glad TO grant the concession. She might stand

one hundred ana odd orators ON both sides IN this
campaign, about fourteen, including Pat Corbett,
were worth hearing; about two were worth publish

that was something 70 consider. A few aays re-

Of the state. The republicans had hig demonstra-

torches TO the celebration purposely ran her
aground, which was very foolish and impotic.
Two can play at that game. Albany county will be

A REMARKABLE DARBY AND REhAREABLn
sPRECH 81 f
In all my travels l came across but one member
Of Hams extensive family who announced himself
openly for Greeley. He was the sole and fazy pro-
prietor OF blacKing box In the classic city Of
Rome. He might have come directly via Zanzibar
by the last steamer from that part Of Africa where
Stanley found tame and Livingstone together.
Looking into his face was like looking INTO q coal
hole at midnight without lamp or candle. when
he opened his mouth you saw he belonged to the
great human family and had q soul along with
nne set Of teeth. His intelligence elistened in his
teeth and throwing beefsteak In his way would
be very different thing from throwing pearls be-
fore swine.
I said to him, "Sam, tell me the honest truth.
who do you intend to vote fors Come, now.n
Sam, with enormous emphasis, sush ~ lifting his
tremendous feet up alternately and spinning his
blacking box and brushes across the sidewalk, be-
side opening his mouth and drawingit back behind
his ears, replied, '0er-eeley BY de great Jehobah."
"But, Sam, don't You know Grant was the indi-
vidual who won your freedom with the swordf"
''Oh, Grant," and then he paused to give prop
erly contemptuOus curl to the LEFT wing OF his mar
vellous nose. Use free born African citizen,
made hberalized froo de strumenticaiity OBJ de
Forty-fort remendment and ! san jiss vote as de
conscience o. my God and de indications of my own
contamnate intellecks pint. Dar's where stands,
sah;" and there left Sam, striking his most i'm
posing attitude, while Q crowd gathered to know
what was the matter.
The Contest In Erie County-A BITTER
Contest Over the Congregational Ticket.
BUFFALO, Nov. q. 1872
''The Lord tempers the wind to the shorn lamb"
and politicians take comfort accordingly. In this
part of the State the mixed condition Of affairs Is
not only understood, but exercises q potent
effect. Desperate efforts are made on
both sides, 1t Ia alleged, to influence voters To-
night the campaign In Erie county practically
closes. 1t is the last hour Of the great fight A. NJ
Clapp, gentleman from Erie county, who in his
old age consents to suffer the pangs OF inimitable
party pain in this city OF the Great Father speaks
here tonight, and with him are Lyman X. Bass,
young politician oflimited experience who wishes to
jump into Congress-, and Mr.. Albert Haight,
sage OF twenty-elght, who is ambitious OF being
County Judge. In honor Of the event q bonfire is
blazing before the spouting place. The fight here
is particularly bitter the State ticket and Con-
gressmen. William Williams, who has served
term in Congress, is now backed by
large number Of republicans and
the whole OF the democratic party
His chances are considered good He is expert
enced and said to control million OF dollars. His
opponent, 1t is said, has no means The result in
this county win be largely Influenced by the tight
between these gentlemen. Close calculations
made here indicate that the fgnt In the county Of
Erie will be very close; but on both sides 1t is con-
ceded that in the city Of Buffalo Herman will run
ahead OF Horace Greeley.
