goes, are queer and do o good many queer things
You don't know just what they are up to till they
do it, But In all my experience Of the democratic

much doubt about their accepting the nominee Of
the Cincinnati Convention"
WHAT THE SOUTH WANTS.

against Grants"
''Well, sir, the people want new departure
They tired and worn out with the military ring

ness from the South if they'll be friendly, and 1
think they will"

PREPARING FOR THE PICTORIAL
An artist from one of the Illustrated weekly

The first gun OF the hundred was fired at this
moment in the City Hall Park, and ratified the

moment. But they soon comprehended the
occasion of it and more genial smile than ever
lighted up the broad countenance Of the phioso

Greeley"

have honor done me-"
