The band of music that accompanied
the delegation was furnished and paid
for by the same Grant people, and his
little bsnner that was carried by George
Mountjoy is the same that designated

the 5th Of June, Of the Pennsylvania
delegation that nominated l.. S. Grant,
and which was presided over by Thom-

Judge Woodward, of Pennsylvania,
was in the city on Tuesday aud Wednes.
day with hi- family. The Duncanites
observed his presprce, and eager to
seize upon any man of na;ional reputa-
ton to give weight to their Convention,
started the report that he was in at
tendance upon the Convention. o.
course the reporters were fooled, and
the Judge was duly announced az a
Bourbon. 1t was grave mistake.
Judge Woodward is a warm Greeley
man, and feels hurt at being classed
among the indirect GRANTEES. He says
his name was never before brought into
40 disgraceful connection. He utterly
repudiates all sympathy with the Dun
can Convention, and will stand by the
Baltimore nominees. Judge Woodward
and his family have been spending
some weeks in Central Kentucky, and
came down to attend the opening OF the
Exposition. He considers it personal
calamity that the Duncan Convention
met on the same day. as it has subjected
him to such gross Misrepresentation.
When the Chairman Of the Conven-
ton, in his duty, as he said, to that
body, read O'Conor's dispatch refusing
the nomination, the space back Of the
delegations came down in hearty ap-
plause. 1t was an indignity that under
the circumstances could not be borne,
and gentleman in the Ohio reservation
sprsng to his feet and vehemently de-
manded that all the space should be
cleared. A round of hisses greeted the
excited individual from all parts OF the
house, and when quiet was restored the
Chairman said something to the effect
that when O'Conor was again cheered
for refusing to carry the Straight-out
banner the Sergesnt-at-Arms should
clear the galleries.
During the struggle over the nomina'
ton for the Vice Presidency, McCul-
lagh, of the St. Louis Democrat, who
was in the room, and who was deeply
interested in the success of Grant in
Indiana, electioneered pretty warmly
for Edgerton. Colonel Duncan observed
the shrewd, wiry log roller at work, and
being in favor of Adams, went over to
McCullagh.

That is not q Grant Convention,
sal the Colonel.
Mack looked up into his face with
sort of quizicsl smile, and said in con
tidentisl tone.
"Pshaw. now, Colonel, whats the
use OF talking that way to me. That's
too thin. The Convention is either for
Grant or Greeley, and YOU know you
are not for Greeley. It'll do to tell
outsiders, but it won't do to talk to an
old stager like me"
Colonel Duncan looked at MN for a
moment with Speculation in his eyes,
and walked off, not too soon, however
to hear Mack's parting shot: -
"Grant pays for this thing, and he
has a right to be considered.
General Joe Giger, of Columbus
Ohio, (aud whoever is at all familiar
with the politics of the Buckeye State
during the last twenty years will re-
member how easily the General can
fiop,) succeeded in getting the floor
early in the mornings deliberations:
He had himself sharp set for one OF
his very grittyist speeches, and looked
as imposingly eloquent as possible, but
WAS choked down into silence. A gen
tleman who used to take his toddles
with the General, from black bottle
in his dipgy little Office on High street,
Columbus, very feelirgly made the re,
mark that they ought to have allowed
Joe to make one good straight-out Dem
ecrstic speech. for there was every res,
son to believe that his next one would
be in some Franklin county log school
house, for Grant and Wilson.
