+ | wuE surprised at the Ieelin manifest
ed.-There wuz denInsioshun Uy the iy-
rant Grant, more deep and fervid than L
he'd heard since the fall NV Nicksburg.
There wuz a torrent Nv aboose heaped up
on offs seekers, offs holders, corrupshcu
10 the civil servis, appointment NV relatiys
to offs, and sich, wieh pleased me. L
jined in it heartily. aud wuz immcjidy
asked by a delegate whose nose recon-
meuded him to me to-wunset, wat State /
wuy a delegate from. | anserd that |
wuz a citizen NV Kentucky, but no dele
gase-that we sent no delegates.
THAT don't NATTER" sed he, his nose
glou with zeal, eve wuzn't any NV US
scnt-we come. Yoo shell be a delegate.
And afore | Good decline the honor he
he'd an Illinoy delegates ticket in my
hand, aud when sed | wuz for Judge
Davis, inacxibly, he asked me to take
suthin. Now, er the is ouything I'm per-
likerly distinguished for, its acceptin in
yitashuns to take suthin, and that dele
gates alacri,y 10 askiO, Good only hev bin
exalted by my alacrify in acceptin. He
wuz a Davis man, too, and | promptly
BORED twenty dollars NV him. Ez whis-
key wuz free, that wuz enulf to axe
me home, and suthin to pay BascOm
on account.
The mornin NV the first day the delega-
shen from the dcestrik helpi TO repre-
sent, met There wuz twenty delegates
present, aud more earnest set Nv men
never mingled with. Five NV EN- wuz ex.
Postniasters, who he'd bin appinted by
the sainted johnson, and most outrageous
dsmisst by the despot who is now Prcsi-
dent two NV EN- were ex Collectors; three
! Assessors and the ten remaHin wuz bill
in with indignashun becoz the offices in
their respectiv towns wuz filed, they swore
with the most unfit men in that seckshen.
"Rather than have the country aud
the servis rooined," sed one, II wood
hev accepted the Post Orlfs myself, |
Nuz solisslted by my feler.cItizeus to serve
EN- in that capassty but no. A militia
! ny friend NV Grants, who he'd served un.
der him, wuz appinted. Wat kin be ex.
pcced NV such administration Faugh
| The other ten, | assertaned, he'd bin
applicants for positions, but somehow
didn't git EN-. They wuz very certain
that unless there wuz an immejit change,
there wuz uothn ahed but room. There
cum in atterward an ex member NV Con-
gress, who he'd bin dctcelid for re-nom-
nashen two years ago. and his denuusha-
shen NV ofis.holdin wuz afiectin in the
extreme. - 80 t.a r.... .r
We finally got to biznis. One dele
gate moved that ex-collector Jawkins act
ea chairman. This prodoost fearful
uproar. Inlmejlfly six or eight others
wuz nominated. r...a
"Dor't vote for Jawkins," whispered
one Reformer, che wants prominence so
he may control the appointments in his de-
strick, and he's brothers and brothers-in-
law all over it,"
Don't vote for that Id Smithers, .
sed another, "hc wants to be assessor"
To my utter and entire astonishnent,
| diskivered the alarmin fact that evry
Reformer in the dclegashun had suthin
in his eve. The caucus wuz finally Or
ganized by compromise, and a man wuz
elected chairman who cooden't possibly
want nothin, ez he hedn't the finanshel
standini in his respective community to git
bonds for anything. He he'd come to
Cincinnati on free pass furnished by
committee, and his expenses paid, witch,
ez he hedu't anything to do at home, wuz
cheaper than stayin there. He remarkt
to me that he thought he shood go into
