The name of Pendleton was bomb

in the stomach Of an old Megatherium
named High. from Ohio, and be howled
Tantically that George had sold out to
Greeley, and hence bigod he could not
receive the support Of the unpurchased
and unpurchasable Democrats.
The old gentleman from Georgia said
again that that was the kind of a man
he was himself and Blanton whispered
confidentislly in the ear Of William
Henry Smith that Ohio was selling
them out. "Yes," replied this connect.

are a liar. sir" Then Blanton's but
termilk blinkers blazed, and his flannel
enveloped carcass quivered with wrath.
But he didn't hurt anybody much. He
started Tor White at rapid gait, which,
however, augmented into a very mild
dog trot before the object OF his wrath
was reached He iu fact approached
the great Labor Reformer rather mildly,
and dido't, that anybody knows of, shed
much OF his blood. Tom shook his fist
under Blanton's nose and reiterated his
charge, and still Blanton didn't shed his
blood.
"You cau't gag me, sir, said Thomas;
"if YOU assert that | am Greeley man,
or ever have been, you are a liar" And
still Blanton didn't eviscqrate him. Dan
Thomas then got the floor anl said that
anybody and everybody who asserted
that the men who placed Pendleton 5
name before that Convention were, or
ever had been, Greeley men were liars,
and Blanton didn't kill him either.
Here Mr.. John P joyce stood up and
that he supposed that he was
the man meant by the speaker from
Kentucky. He further remarked that
he was a Greeley man, and that he had
as much right in Democratic Conven-
ton as the fellows that he saw around
him, nine tenths of whom were here for
the purpose Of iurthering the election OF
U. S. Grant. Somebody said that Mr.
Joyce was a sheep in woll's clothing,
or a wolf in sleeps clothing, but did
not believe either assertion don't
think Blanton did either. Atall events
he said no more about it. but ordered
the boys to proceed with the nomina.
ton OF a Vice Presidential candidate.
Somebody mentioned j. Q. Adams,
and another mossback howled for AL
fred P. Edgarton. of Indiana.
Mr. Cory objected to Adams. "1f"
said William. John Quincy Adams is
a Democrat. am not Democrat; and
if am a Democrat, John Q. Adams is
not Democrat."
Citizen Cory further remarked that
he did not like the Adams family. His
prejudice dated from the time OF the
disturbance in the Garden of Eden
mentioned in Genesis. Though he was
only about two hundred years old at
that time, and hadn't, he blushed to say,

Resolutions OF '9S, nor established close
relations with the Sage Of Monticello,
the incident of the fall Of the human
race from an apple tree had made a
deep impression upon his youthful

The decliuation OF O'Conor produced
a beautiful little breeze among the
fossils. A chap from New York said
Charles was a coward and an imbeclle,
and even hinted that he had been
bought by Greeley gold.
A Pennsylvania chap named Brown
ing then tried to say something about
labor reform, but was squelched by the
Chair, who ordered the Seagesnt-at-
Arms to lead him out. This made the
laborer mad, and led him to peach upon
himself and his fellow delegates from
Pennsylvsnia. And the substance OF
his revelation was that he and his crowd
had come here upon passes furnished
by Simon Cameron and were now living
upon money drawn from the campaign
fund Of the Grant party. lTHURIEL.
