A few persons made an ef-
fort, during two days Of last
week, to hold National Con
vention at Louisville. The whole
movement was in the interest Of
Grant The expenses of those
who attended the Convention
were paid by the Administra tion,
costing about $3.50, 900. CHARLES
O'CoNoR was nominated for Pres
ident; J. @. ADAMS for Vice Pres
ident. Both declined. Judge
LYONS of Virginia, was then
nominated for President. He
declined. Now the GRANTEES
can support their smoker, tippler,
and pup and horse worshipper.
They made a grand failure when
they gave men railroad passes
and thirty dollars each to go to
Louisville.

READER, let us tell you some
thing. In McArthur dwells a
monstrous fellow. one of the
most complete Fsnarrow-minded
blockheads who would like to be
useful to great and good cause
but don't know how,p that ever
dwelt among moral, temperate,
honest and quiet people. This
mighty man Of the nation has
been heard of throughout this dis
trict. "A few days before the
Grant Convention for the 18th
Congressional district assembled
there was a prospect Of a mighty
change going forward in the po7
litical history of our once happy
country, by this great man for
the benefit of the whole people.
This mighty man, whom we shall
call Hon. Homer G. JONES, de-
clared without fear or favor"
on the streets ofthe little village
aforesaid, before the Convention
aforesaid convened, that if NEAL,
Of Lawrence county, should re-
ceive the nomination for Con-
gress, at that Convention, he
would stump the district and do
all he could against him, AS
Mr.. BUNDY received the nomina-
ton, that great change in the
political history of our country
is not taking place. We shall
only say that the author Of that
threat was the same person who
was defeated in the nomination
for State Senator, about a year
ago, by Mr.. NEAL and others, and
is now, by accident, the candi-
date for Presidential Elector on
the Grant ticket for this Con-
gressional district. Sane peo-
pie will take notice Of these
things and govern themselves
accordingly when they visit the
polls at the October and Novem-
ber elections. w.

What Wilson Says about the
Irish and Germans.

, HENRY WILSON, the candidate
'forsVice President on the Grant
Corruption Ticket, has made a
large number Of bitter speeches,
in which he has generally allu-
ded to foreigners in an insulting
manner. On-the 29d of Octo-
ber, 1867, he made a temperance
speech at Worchester, Mass,
from which we clip the follow
ing
81 must mention the amount of drinking done
by our foreign born citizens, especially th
Irish and Germans-the first drinking the vii :
est whisky, and the latter using lager beer,
which made them a stupid race"
Let none Of our Irish OF Ger
man friends be stupid enough to
vote for WILSON or any other
worshipper Of USELESS GRANTS

ton in great agony. Hayes had
made Bundy's speech here, and
hence Bundy's embarrassment
Col. Coates sat on the platform
hooking "whortleberries" from
Hezekiah's pockets while he re-
tailed a lot of anecdotes. He
said in the outset that he was
not prepared to make a political
speech, but that his friend, Ho-
mer G. Jones, aOas prepared and
would tell them all about mat

Judge, the nonplussed son of the
Emerald Isle could only point to
to his friend, the plaintiff in the
case, and, say "be jabbers, he
knows it." Bundy pointed to
his friend, JONES'. as if to say
"be jabbers, he knows it." The
Hon. Hezekiah has a stock OF
nursery rhymes with which he
goes over the district, and from
them tries to prove that Sumner.
Schurz, Greeley, Trumbull and
Upton are great raseals. The
touching quotation of
"Peter, Peter pumpkin eater,
Had a wife and couldn't keep her"
was rendered by Mr.. Bundy in
a felicitous manner, and was the
only thing cheered during the
entire evening. The assertion
that no party could fellow the
leadership of Mr.. Sumner six
months and live, provoked smiles
from several Republicans, who
have recognized Mr.. Sumner as
the leading light of the Republi.
can party in the palmiest days O.
its triumphs. On the whole, i
Mr.. Bundy's speeches in Congress
are of the same caliber as thai
delivered here last Saturday
night, he will be the Nasty of the

Nasty Of the House, without
Nasby's originality. His con-
stituency, ifthey elect him, should
provide him with a peanut roast
er and a bound copy of Jack, the
Giant Killer, by way of a diplo.
ma, and send him to the capital
in the care Of Dom Piatt. X. q
Jones followed in a wild, ram
bling way, relating all the anec-
dotes that Bundy had forgotten.
We omitted to say that Mr.. Bun
dy told the colored men that il
was elected they would
lose all their rights. But Mr..
was excited, and we sup
pose he didn't know what he was
saying. Many of the colored
men left and went down town
while speaking was going on.--
We hope that Mother Goose's
melodies and other appropriate
juvenile songs will be sent to
Mr.. B. under Sherman's frank
during the campaign, as they
will be weighty documents in
his hands, and will enable him

mical way what he knows about
