about better state of affairs among us.
If any people on the globe were gov
erned any worse than the people OF TINS

deed. Our opponents, let them be known
by whatever name they may, as a party

no traveller ere returns" Mr.. fireman

Mobiliers, or grants of public lands to

swindle of the above nature. He again
thanked the Convention for the honor
conferred upon him.
Mr.. Estcp was then called upon to
address the Convention. He said be had
long been intimately acquainted with the
candidate, and that the Convention had
made an excellent selection. t)r many
wears, under the rule of the Rpublican
party, times had been gradually getting
worse. The Republican PARTY had
lost the confidence of all respectable
white men, and were now making
desperate effort to retain the entire
negro vote, and their conduct had been
so bad that they could not retrace. lie
showed the odiOusncss of he Republican
Civil Rights Bill. The negroes do not
want this bill, and its oTly object was to
try and get negro votes. The Demo
cratic party would keep its faith;
the currency should rot be contracted
as the purchases were made in the for
mer strength of the currency there should
be no contraction Of the currency. The
Republican party in all their acts do
nothing but "tinkcr,' for the few against
the many. Protection was nothing but
tax on the great masses Of the people.
Let us send men to CangreSs who
will look after our interests, and not pay
their whole attention to the interests of
the Yankees oftnc East. Mr.. Bingham
was very nice man, but did he ever do
ANYTHING that was for the interests of
laborng men and producers of the
Sixteenth District. If the people
of the Sixteenth District will
look after their interests they will vote
for and elect Henry Boylcs.
On motion the following gentlemen
were selected as District Committee: j,
kirkpatrick, of Guernsey county; j. +.
Charicsworth, of Belmont county; W.
II. Arnold, of Harrison county K. X
