What the Enemy aays Of the Late Ne.
publican Convention.
We quote from the Kansas City Times
report of the Convention held at Lawrence
on the Dis. inst:
The assemblsge was one of The largest ever
held in Liberty Hall, and included all the
politicians Of note in the State, except Jen-
nison, who had little game elsewhere. The
jayhaw ker was ably represented by his old
partner, Col. ID. X. Anthony, and his former
commissary, J. d. Snoddy, who was dis
honorably dismissed the service for ,aisup-
preparation. Senator Ross was there-not as
delegate, but merely taking few notes,
with the grimest satisfaction. Ex-Governor
Crawford was there, silent and gloomy, with
an unmistakable expression of disgust upon
his thoughtful phiz. The Hon. Sidney
Clarke was present-pleasant, smiling and
serenely observant, but strictly non-partici-
pant. b. F. Simpson, of Paola, was also
on hand, 'legging" vigorously for place on
the next State ticket, with his left eye d.
rec:ed obliquely at the gubernatorial chair.
b. +. Simpson, of Paola, suggested the
Mound City, who, since Grant pardoned his
stealing operations during the war by an
honorable discharge, and in virtue of being
Chairman Of the Caldwell Senatorial White
washing Committee, and possessing unlimited
efrontery and brutal ferocity, was deemed an
eligible presiding officer, and was duly elect
ed temporary Chairman.
A bitter hostility having been discovered
among the rural delegates against Legate,
Babcock 4 Co., and thorough organization
having been made in the caucus to resist the
ring and secure the rights of the country
delegations, it became polite for Legate to
subside and be very passive, while Babcock

and Speer TO manipulate the minority so as
TO secure majority of the convention for
Grant, and a majority Of the Presidential
delegates for Lawrence and Leavenworth.
Mr. Snoddy was here detected in an at
tempt to telegraph to Legate, who sat sulking
and silent upon the right. After this silent
pantomime was over, Snoddy appointed John

Slower, J. {. Carpenter, +. s. Nichols and
W. NJ. Matheny, Committee on organiza-
ton.
Mr.. Speer highly insulted)-Then move
that this convention proceed to elect four
large. Turning to Legate.) l am opposed
to cut -and-dried programmes. Sensation and
laughter. The gentleman would not do any
thing of that sort. oh, no, of course net.
But will not tempt him too far-his repu-
tation is none of the best at any time.
Legate bites his lip and trembles. "But,"
continued Speer, shouting, 81 want n man
placed upon this delegation 10 Philadelphia,
black enough to satisfy erery one as to his loyalty
10 The Republican party. l also want a Ger
man delegate elected, and hope the conven-
ton will at once proceed 10 elect them, and
not consen. to any committee chicanery.
Anthony, Of Leavenworth-"I move TO
elect by rira rOoe vote, one colored man from
the State at large"
Legate-"ln response TO the remarks Of
the gentleman from Douglas, desire to make
this explanation to this convention, after
which ! shall say nothing more to this cen
