The following article is from the Grand
Rapid Daily Press, published in Michigan
on the 24th. Ii is Republican authority,
and comes from one of the leading radical
papers in that State:
We have important intelligence from the
old War Governor of Michigan, Hon. Austin
Blair. 1t is that he will not in any event
support Grant, and that if Greeley 10 endorsed
at Baltimore he will take the stump for Gree.
ley The Governor does not conceal his see :
timents. He says that the stampede irom
Grant to Greeley will not be by one or two,
but 6y platoons. He thinks Michigan will go
for Greeley. If q cordial nion is effected be,
tween the opponents OF Grant.
We have direct and reliable Information
from Senator Sumner, aud Important facts
respecting bis position. He is now preparing
speech upon the 6nsnces of the country, and
the hnahcal administration OF President
Grant. 1t will astonish the American peouIe
when delivered. Should Greeley be nominated
at Baltimore the Senator is prepared to speak
TO his countrymen in favor OF the election of
Greeley to the Presidency.

TIE New Jersey emocratic Stale
Convention met at Trenton on last Wed
nesday, and elected delegates to tbs Balti-
more Convention. They are uninstracted,
but are known to be in favor of Greeley
and Brown. On the same day, the Geor
gis State Convention elected Greeley del~
egates TO Baltimore. The Same thing
was done by the Mississippi Convention
on the same day. On that day, also, the
Democratic and Liberal Republican Con-
ventions of Illinois met at Springfield.
The same State ticket, consisting of Re-
publicans and Democrats, was adopted
by both conventions. The candidate for
Governor is Gustayus A. Koerner, Re-
publican, and for Lieutenant Governor,
Gen. Charles Black, Democrat. Both
conventions endorsed the Cincinnati ticket
The following dispatch was received by
these two conventions from the Mississip-
pi Convention, and An appropriate answer

ANOTHER of Grants most remsrkabl

ANOTHER of Grants most remarkabl
and disgraceful appointments Was made
on the occasion of bis recent flying visit
from Long Branch TO Washington. A
short time before the adjournment Of
Congress, carpet>bagger from Connecti-
cut, named Clarke, who Lad obtained a
seat in that body from one of the Texas
districts under a false and fraudulent
certificate from the radical Governor of
the State, was unanimously expelled from
his seat in the House on a unanimous
report by the Committee on Elections,
that he held it by the perpetration of the
grossest and most palpable frauds. Yet.
in the face Of this verdict of the House OF
Representatives, and in violation ol
Grants boasted civil service reform, the
present postmaster (McKee) is sum ma
rily removed on the charge of favoring
the election of Horace Greeley, and q
dlshonored Consre ssman, reeking with the
most infamous fraud on the ballot box, is
appointed TO supply his place. Such is
Grantism, pure and unalloyed.

Gagged With an Anaconda.

During the time tlmt Robinson's cir
Gus was on the line Of the Missouri
Pacific Railroad, the Jim Fisk side
show-consisting of Fisk, Mansfield.
Stokes. and a large anaco,Nla- started
from l.eavenworth to join the circus
near st. Louis. The canvass and WAX
figures were slowed away in Il baggage
car. filling the front end and leaving
single door for entrance to the coach.
The baggage-lnan, being Of nh inquir-
ing mind, and thinking that he would
take free peep at the show. just to
see what Fisk and the Mansfield looked
like, opened the door and stood In the
midst Of the illustrious trio. While he
was admiring the graceful contour of
Mansficld's bust, wIlatwas his horror
t0sec the monster raise his head and
begin to crawl slowly out of the box.
The serpent's eyes were upon him. and
his forked tongue moved rapidly back
ward and forward like a weaver's
shuttle. lIaving heard oftlle power Of
the anaconda III squeezing its victims
to death in its terrible folds, onrtrunk
masller at once realized the danger of
his situation. Ills mind reverted with
lightning rapidity to the events of his
life, and visions of wrecked Saratogas,
fiail walises and ilimsy clrpetbags
arose in amountain of Judgment before
him. He would have given his right
hand for large steel-plated trunk to
crawLinto, but no such thing was at
hand. After pr0tnming about halt
his length, the snake paused and turn
cd Ilis eyes in another direction. The
baggage-lnan was not slow of ayailing
himself Of this opportunity Of making
his escape. Quickly, aud with all the
stealth Of a ferret, he crawIetl over
piles Of boxes, gained the door, and
made good his retreat to the coich.
He there found the shownlen, and on
informing them that the snake was
endeayoring to escape, they went to
the baggage-car and recaptured the
reptile. The b0ggage-man was 80
giatifled at what lie thought such 4
miraculous escape, that he vOweilnev-
to pry intO the boxes Of show
men placed IN his charge.
