immense ratification meeting at the

He arraigned President Grant for ne

The sale OF arms to the French was un-
iustifable, whether considered as an
international problem or as q simple act
of iustiee TO one of the cOnbaiving par
ties. The Philadelphia and Cincinnati
platforms were cOntTasted. The former
was full of tergirersatiOn and equivera-
tons and dmeaningless generaliCies, while
the latter was bold and manly epitOme
of the necessities Of the hour. The for
eign policy of the administration was
reviewed and criticized as vacilating,
undignified and unworthy Of the Ameri-
can people. The State ticket was eX-
amined at some length, and praised as
one of the best ever put in the field.
They We're all liberal, for they had dealt
literally with all natiOnalites, and the
reputation on the ticket could hardly

enduring peace, 70 perpetuate for pos
tsrity the liberalities secured by the

applaTded, and On retiring from the
platform three cheers were given for the

POLITICAL NOTES.


Hon. Julius Converse was nominated
for Governor by the Vermont Republi-
cans, on "Wednesday. The convention
also nominated Hon. r. S. Taft for Lieu
tenants Governor, and John A. Page for
State Treasurer.
AT Cleveland, Ohio, on Wednesday
night. quite large meeting was called
at the Waddell House by the delegates
TO tha Democratic Convention. The
WaddeH House was brilliantly ilumi-
mated with Chinese lanterns suspended
from every window, and presented a
very fine appearance. A numter of
speeches were made by several pOni-
.isrept Delegates to the convention. All
of which favored a ratification II the
CINCINNATI platform and nominees
The Liberal Republicans Of Phi adel-
phla opened the campaign at Martin
Hall on Wednesday, Among the speak
efs was Hon. A. K. Mcclure, who made
a speech as bitter as that Of Sqinneb
charging the administration with Iepot-
ism, bribery and corruption. The Phil
adelphia Convention was ridiculet as q
packed affair, consisting only OF post
masters, customhouse officials, and
members of the bread-and-buttei bri-
gade generally. The action OF the
Union League in the indorsement Of
Grant was ridiculed as directly opposed
to the decision Of two years ago not to
interfere in politics. Senators Morton
and Logan and Others were finally at

CHICAGO, June 27.-The following is

Davis to the President of the Columbus
Convention, declining the nomination
for the Presidency '--
BLooSINGToS, OHIO, June "A, 1872.
Hon. E. 4. Chamberiin, President Columbus
Convention, Boston, Massachusetts,:
MY DEAR SIR-The National Con-
vention of the Labor Reformers, on the
twenty-second of February last, honored
me with nomination as their candi-
date for the Presidency. Having, re-
garded that movement as the initiation
of policy and purpose to unite the
various political elements in a
compact opposition, I consented to
the use of my name before the Gin
cinnati Convention, where a distin-
guished citizen of New York was nomi-
mated. Under these circumstances, l
deem it proper to retire absolutely from
the Presidential contest, and thus leave
the friends who were generous enough
to offer me their voluntary support free
to obey their convictions of duty uIl-.
fettered by any supposed obligation.
Sympathizing earnestly with all just and
proper measures by which the condition
Of labor may be elevated and improved,
i am, with great respect, your fellow
citizen, DAVID DAVIS. 4

New ORLEANS, June 27.-Colonel g.
w. Carter publishes his yaledictory as
editor of the National Republican, and
retires because he cannot support the
State ticket recently nominated at
Baton Rouge. In giving his reasons for
Withdrawing, he says the wishes of the
Republican people were thwarted by GER
tain Federal officials In the convention,
and that, too, largely by the use of the
force which could be borrowed from the
federal patronage in the State of Louisi-
ana. The grand doctrine which he un-
derstands TO be the very foundation not
only of the Republican party, but also of
all republican government-thatr rulers
should be selected by the people-was,
he says, wantonly trampled upon, and a
ticket was presented which, in a word,
represents simply the preference and
choice, chiefly, of the federal officers
within the State,

CARD FROM MIR. G. 1. ANDERSON.


To My FRIENDs1The late County
Democratic Convention has placed in
nomination a ticket deserving the hearty
support of the good people of Shelby.
The memorable contest of Thursday and
Friday was fiattering enough to either
party interested, and when my friends
withdrew me. their action, as also that
of the committee in subsequently nomi-
mating Jack Doyle, was cheerfully ae-
cepted. The purpose of that body was
to make an acceptable selection,
and. while the claims of gentlemen
who had spent time and money in the
canvass, did not meet the consideration
urged by their respective friends, further
discussion is fruitless. We have in Mr..
Doyle a gentleman of unimpeachable in
tegrity and high character as a business
man. He possesses all the republics Of
a first-class officer. Those of you whose
nobly sustained me viii, / feel assured,
as strongly support him, and by SO do
ing, maintain the supremacy of the
Democratic party in Shelby county.
Very respectfully, c. L. ANDERSON.
