Richards, of Louisville, as follows: sin |
your letter you refer TO the Louisville Con-
venton. and 10 that connection | desire a
favor A Colonel Patrick, of this place,
calling himself q Democrat, tried to get up
some interest in the Louisville Convention,
and for several days, and even weeks, pub
lished q notice in the Grant paper here OF &
proposed meeting to choose delegates. At
the time appointed, Colonel Patrick was the
only man who put in az appearance, and he
thereupon organized by acting himself as
chairman and secretary of the meeting, and
appointed himself delegate to the Louis
vile Convention. II was said to be the
most harmonious convention ever held n
Omaha. Colonel Patrick has three grown
sons, all of whom are officers under the
Grant dynasty, Msrshsls and Deputy Mar
shsls of Utah Territory. The old man is
not now q Democrat, nor never has been
but be has been forwarded to Louisville by
his Grant boys to represent the Straights Of
Nebraska in the Convention. What |
desire you to do is to watch and see what
part he takes ID the Louisville Convention,
and if he attempts to represent himself as
the representative of anybody in Nebraska
except himself, TO expose him in such way
as you may deem best. For this purpose
you may use the above. Iou may give the
above facts to the agent of the Associated
Press in Louisville, or the special cores
pondent of The Chicago Tribune. | don't
