A straight democratic convention
was held in Atlanta, Georgia, on the
18th inst. Twenty-Five counties out OF
one hundred and thirty-two we're repre-
sented. Delegates were appointed TO
the Louisville convention, and Hon.
Charles O'Connor, of New York, was
declared the preference for President.
Josie Mansfield has taken the troub
lie to write note to New York paper
in which she positively denies the state
ment that President Grant once visited
her house with Fisk aud INDUCED 10
drinking and debauchery. She says he
never was in her house in his life. 1t is
of no great Importance, as nobody OF
any sense believed the SANDER, but it is
probably well to place the denial on rec
ord,

ANOTHER SELL.-Have you seen Gen
Fitzpatrick A man named Davis, ho-
tel keeper of Charlestown, VT, was a
passenger on the stage, Wednesday, from
Newport to Richford. Fitzpatrick was
expected on the same stage, and as Da-
Wis was the only passenger it was natu-
raj that mistake should occur. Davis
was met at the depot by committee
and greeted as Gen. Fitzpatrick. They
then drove to the hotel where large
crowd had assembled to receive him.
Fitzpatrick was loudly called for, and
one of the committee asked him TO make
little speech. He delivered himself
as follows: Gentlemen, if it is Gen
Fitzpatrick you are looking for, L will
Just say that he stopped at Dodge's ho-
tel to sue a man for libel" The Grant
men cheered of course while the Gree
ley men wilted.

peared in her great Champion Clog
Dance, wearing three solid gold medals
which, of course, acknowledges her to
be the Champion Of the World. Baby
Benson, four years of age, appeared in
her wonderful songs and dances and re-
ceived four rousing and we'll deserved
encorcs. We advise all of our readers
who have not seen this little "phenome-
non to do so at once"
The New York Herald says: La
PETITE BENSON made her first appear
ance at Fisk's Grand Opera House last
Monday evening, when she created the
greatest excitement ever known in the
annals of the American stage. Baby
Benson is only four years old, yet, in her
songs, dances, and Lingard changes, she
fairly outriyals any performer in the
world. An extra matinee was giver
Thursday Afternoon, and so great was tbs
rush to see little Benson that over one
thousand children were turned away un

neutrality-suspicious. of Brad
ford held very large meeting in the
the town hall on the 21st inst, and we're
addressed by Hon. D. w. Mum, of llli-
and Hon. Luke P. Poland. 1t was the
most enthusiastic meeting ever held in
town, and contrasted very favorably with
the scattering few who met there the day
before to listen to arguments for Greeley
and Brown. Several of the most prom
inent and influential old democrats in
Guiding Mr.. Hubbard Wright who has
so long represented the town, have come
out decidedly and say they shall go for
Grant and Wilson in preference to the
striped ticket. The Grant men were never
more hopeful than now. The liberal
democratic confusonists are in pref
ty quarrel among themselves. About
half dozen Of them want to be town
representative Their most dan
gerous rival was John B. Pickett
In order to put him out of the way,
the Dolly Vardens met at Chelsea two
weeks ago, and by the instrumentalities
of his competitors, he was placed on the
Senatorial ticket for the county and was
glad to accept the nomination, until a
good brother democrat told him the next
day how the little game had been
played Cd him. Since then he is feeling
sort of unpleasantness which causes
no little amusement among the knowing
ones.
