TIE RADICAL CONVENTION. delegates
from the various precincts In the county as
sembled last evening In convention, at the
Military Hall, pursuant to the call Of the Rev.
3. q. Cain, chairman Of the Radical party Of
this county. Ninety-six delegates were the
total which the county had been called upon
to elect, but contesting delegations were thick
as blackberrles In May, and over one hundred
and fifty politicians assembled at the appoint
ed hour. The election of the delegates to the
State Republican Convention was the nominal
object OF the convention, but 1t had long been
apparent that the convention was only thea
trp;i WhereonI the Mackeyites and Bowenites
were to measure their strength preparatory to
the struggle for the sherihhlty In the fall. At
first the Mackey party had decidedly the adVan-
tage. Ex-Mayor Plllsbury and Representative G.
G. Bowen were the two nominees for chairman,
and the sturdy lungs Of the Mackeyites car
ried the ex-Mayor into the chair by apparently
an overwhelming majority. Representative
P. P. Hedges, otiEdlsto, was elected secretary.
The next step towards organizing was the ap-
pointment of committee on credentials, and
the Mackeytes again decided with shout that
it should be lett to the chair. With grateful
sense of the honors conferred upon him, the
chairman named the following commit
tee: Sheriff Mackey, Colonel W. N. Taft,
George Lee, P. P. Hedges, W. ]. McKin-
Law, Jr., W. G. Pinckney and Abraham Smalls.
With this committee the Mackeyites rested
satisfied. About seven o'clock the COM
mittee made report. The Bowenltes,
however, had been gathering their strength,
and the report was met with shouts, calls of
privilege and points OF order, which made the
room more like lunatlc ayslum than con.
vention. AS soon as any one could be heard
there was hotly contested argument, and
motion was at length carried that the COIN
mittee should reconsider their report. This
was done ,and after consultation, they reported
the following list OF delegates, which was con-
frmed by the convention W. G. Plnokney, E.
W. M. :Maekey, r. N. Brown, W. N. TAFT, R. G.
DeLarge, P. P. Hedges, Gil. Plllsbury, R. n.
Cain, W. J.: McKlnlay, J. A. Washington. F.
Ladsor. G. Simons, S. Brown, G. Lee, Michael
Caulaeld, P. L. Miller, J. P. Howard, Fred'k

rTSsuoCEsSfUL ATTEMPT AT RoBBEBY-A
SNAPSHOT AND A, NARROW EsoAPH.-Last eve
ming, little before nine O'Clock, persons In the
vicinity Of Mr.. J.H. Happoldps gunsmith es-
tablfshment, at the ncrth corner of Meeting
street and Horlbeck's alley, were startled by
the report of agun, which proceeded from the
Interior of the store. A second after, man
ran around to the front door, and another was
seen leaping over the fence into the marble
yard adjoining. Owing to the isolated POSI-
ton of the store, 1t was some time before
people could arrive upon the scene, and In the
meantime the actors in this startling drama
had made their escape. A message was sent
up to the proprietor, who hurried down to
make an Investigation. It was found
that the robbers had. by boring and
saving, made hole In the back
door Of the establishment large enough
to admit the body of man. Into this one OF
them had crept, but in the darkness he had
come In contact with wire, one end Of which
was attached to the trigger OF sprlng gun.
The report followed, and the buckshot 1eW
around like hall. The robber must have still
been on his hands aud knees, or hls death
would have been certain. As 1t was, several
suspicious looking spots are to be seen near
the door, which may be blood. At all events
he has disappeared for the present, and If not
seriously hurt has been taught a lesson which
he will not speedily forget. This Is the fourth
time this store has been entered, but will pro-
bably be the last. (
IA loaded spring gun Is dangerous thing,
Steep Iow or touch not the confounded sprlngs"

THE Rich MANS ENTRANCE Door

THE Rich Mans ENTRANCE Door,
That passage from the New Testament
which reads, 1t is easier for camel"
etc, is familiar TO all readers, and has
perplexed many good men who have
read it literally. Yet the explanation of
its precise meaning is very simple In
Oriental cities, there are in the large
gates, small and very low apertures.
called metaphorically "needles' eyes,,
just as we talk of windows on shipboard
as "bulls' eyes" These entrances are
too narrow for a camel to pass through
in the ordinary manner, even if unloaded.
When a loaded camel has to pass
through one Of these entrances, it kneels
down, its load is removed, and then it
shuifles through on its knees he must
kneel, and bow his head, to go through
" tie eye Of needle" that is the low
arched door of an enclosure and thus
the rich man must humble himself when
he enters the gates OF Heaven.

A Business Letter.
To Horace Greetey !:

To Hordcs Greelty:
DEAR SIR: Your letter to hand stat.
ing that the subscription OF my club OF
fifty members, for your paper, will soon
expire, and that you hope that / may be
able to increase the club for the coming
year. ] beg TO say that / can do no such
thing. When we subscribed for your
paper year ago, we did 80 believing il
to be good, reliable Republican paper,
and friendly TO the present administra-
tiOn. We think now it is not such, and
that you have cheated us out Of a, least
part Of oar subscription through its
change. For the sake Of Office We think
you have cleft your fathers house, and
in bad company are now following
strange gods" Even some Democrat
here will not vote for you on account oI
your lack Of principle, and those who
will, do so, not because they want you
for President, not because they think YOU
fit to fill the Presidential chair, but on
the other hand, they believe you TO be
the meancst man from the meancst party
that ever held Office aud will only vote
tor you to dciea; Grant.
Now the opinion OF nearly all the
members of my club is this When they
read your sayings against the Democra.
cy tor the last twelve years and contrast
them with your present position at the
head of the Democratic ticket, they
think 1t proves you TO have been one o
the most selfish, ambitious and unprinci
pied political weathercocks of which his
tory gives any record, and therefore they
don't want your paper any longer.
We don't want you for President; We
have no faith in the party you are lead.
ing we are in favor Of the Philadelphia
nominees, and will walk shoulder TO
shoulder to help defeat your political as
pirations in November next by voting
for L. 5. Grant, of Illinois, and Henry
Wilson, of Massachusetts. two as good
men as to-day tread the American soil.
Tried men, reliable men; men capable OF
filling the Office they are asking for, even
according to your own statement con
cerning Grant.
am, Sir, yours truly, on behalf of the
club, j. BRCCKsHAw.
