Quite sensation was created in the

time of holding State elections from
October to November. Judge West,

to take a seat in the ConVentlOn), was
speaking in favor of the proposition
when, he said !: 81 am a Republican

absolutely humiliating to men of re-
fined sensibilities to see Delano, Sec
retary OF the Interior, Boutwell,, and
Cresswell, Postmaster-Genera going
down last fall, first to North Carolina
and after having carried that State by
detail, folding their tents like the
Arabs and silently stealing away to
the State of Maine, and then fitting
away to other States, and working
to carry elections for the Administers
tion party. | hope to God the time
will come when such spectacle will
no longer be witnessed on the Ameri-

Judge Tuttle-Dees the gentleman

and the money of the nation and the
influence of the ring at Washington
