CuisAos, June Is, 1872.
II anything Of more than ordinary i'm |
portance has transpired in this city since
The date of my last letter, I have failed TO
hear of It and consequently will be
to make "much out of . little,"
in this, my second letter from the "Gar-
den City"
THE CONVENTIONS.
On Saturday last both the democratic
and liberal republican conventions met in
this city, for the purpose of selecting dele.
Springfield on the 26th. Both were we'll at
to the conventions to DO held at
tended, and among those present were to
be seen many Of the most renowned and
influential men Of both parties in this city.
The democratic county convention, in
point Of numbers and intellect, was far
above any convention held for the Same
purpose in this city for many
years.. It was convention Of
the people, and its action may
be taken as fair expression Of the will Of
the masses on the political questions Of the
day.
And the same may be said Of the lib
eral republican convention. That the
liberals are steadily gaining strength in
this portion of the state, no fair-minded
person will deny.
OF the fact, that there are th ousands Of
honest republicans now standing aloof,
saying nothing, awaiting the action Of the
Baltimore convention, there can be no
doubt. Once that convention has en-
dorsed the Cincinnati ticket and nomi-
nees,-as it surely will-one-ffth Of the
men now looked upon as straight re-
publicans, will be found in full fellow
ship with the reform movement.
AS for those democrats who
refuse to support Greeley and
Brown, they are only helping
to re-elect Grant, and give the party now
in power another four years lease Of the
reins of the government.
THE oILBBRr-Posr LIBEL SUIT,
to which referred in my last letter, did
not terminate AZ was anticipated II would.
The jury could not agree, there being five
for conviction and seven for acquital.
SO you see We are to be RECALLED with an
other "hitch" between Miss Gilbert and
the Post.
DOLLY WARDEN.
Under the above head q new paper
made its appearance in this city last week.
1t is neatly printed twenty-four column
sheet, and is devoted TO the exposition Of
thieves, gamblers, bawdy houses, etc.
In short it is a weak imitation Of the New
York Police Gazette that used to be-
only that it does not evince as much abil-
ity oditorially, or in any other way. A
short. time since paper called the: Town
Talk made its appearance in this city,
but owing to its vulgarity and general OBJ
scenity, was promptly suppressed by the
police authorities, and anyone caught offer.
ing it for sale was fined and imprisoned.
The Dolly Warden is nothing more or
less than the Town Talk under, a new
name.
DOLLY WARDEN PLAYED OUT.
While speaking about "Dolly Warden"
let me say that dolly" has near about
run her race, and will soon be considered
'among the things that were." 1t is .
fact that but few respectable ladies are to
be seen upon our streets wearing any thing
that partakes of the Dolly Warden stamp
OF goods. Whenever a woman makes her
appearance on the street dressed in this
sort of apparel she may rest assured that
she is the observed of all observers, and
could she but hear the remarks made
about her, feel confident that her Dolly
Warden dress or polonaise(7) or whatever
you may choose to call il, would find its
way to the rag.bag in double-quck or.
der
Do not understand me to say that 70.
spectacle people do not wear this sort Of
goods, for know better; but do say
tina, Dolly VArdens are fast being laid
aside by respectable ladies, and the time is
not far distant when 10 zee woman
dressed in this sort Of goods will be suf.
fcient evidence that she is one of that class
of women whom do not desire here to
name.
| THE FOURTH
Just now the dealers in fire works in
this city are in high state Of excitemen,
over the fact that the city council have
adopted Il resolution forbidding the firing
of frecrackers, pistols, etc, within the
city limits on the Fourth. Most OF the
establishments that deal in this kind OF
stock having laid in large supplies before
the resolution referred to was passed, will
be heavy loosers If the city-fathers do no,
let up and permit their use within the
city on that day. A meeting has been
called and committee will be appointed
to confer with the city authorities for the
purpose of seeing what may be done in re-
gard to the matter.
