the hatred RefOrmer Adams bore to Re-
former Brown. There wuz six parties nv
en-, Adams, Davis, Trumbull, Brown.
! Curtin and Greeley. The canvassn wuz

over in less than mint. Trumbull's sup

swore vehemcntly that they'd sooner hov
Grant than to hey such a dcmaGogue cz
Irulnbn!l control the patronage. Curtin
wuz denounced Cz an ambishus skemer.
Adams wuz damned cz Il cold .blooded
aristocrat. Brown wuz stgmatised ez the
most shameless demagogue on earth. and

beamin old lunatic, with nothin cspeshellv
dangerous in his lunacy cept to himself.
Attempts wuz then made TO trade but they
all failed. The delegates knowd their men
thoroughly, aud they wuz afraid to trust
each other, and for two long DAYS there
wuz the hottest fight ever saw. The
trouble wuz' mt so much in making charges
agin each other-it wuz in the fact that
each man he'd proof in his possoshun that
his chorges agin the other wuz true.
1t wuz very plain on Friday mornin

emergency. The moment he saw how
things wuz, he ordered Brown to bargain
with the delegates 20 Civ Horace the first
place on the ticket and he the second. 1t

wuzn't NV enutf account to bo in enybody's
way. and on that account he wuz the most
available man; the stockholders NV the
IrtGO0n wantid him nominated that he
might be compelled TO sell out his stock
and leave the concern; Blair wantd him
nominated bccoz if he should happen to be
electid be Good control the patronage thro
his cousin, Gratz Brown, and cf the Di-
mocrisy should not accept him he wood
probably draw off enuif Republkin votes
to elect our nominee, and the other dele
gates wanted him nominated that they
might hev decent excuse to cit out NV the
whole thing. They saw in the laH it wuz
certain to raise, cover under wich they
Good git back to their old quarters. The
reform candidates SO hated each other that
each voted for Greeley 10 spite the other,
aud the thing was did. Iorris Greeley iz
the nominee NV the liefOrmcrs for the offs
Nv President nv the Ioonited States.
There wuz various opinyuns exprest NV

gallon Of corn whskey to cure it. lie got
well Nv the bite, but he died NV the wills
key. He wuz bitten by currupshen and
took cOnvcnshun to cure it. lie mite
git well NV the corrupshen, but he shooI
