DEMOCRA.rIC CONVENTION
ridden and Hendricks Nor.I-
mated.

TiEden and Hendricks NOu.ai
mated.
The Democratic Convention met
in st. Louis on Tuesday, with full
representation from all the states,
and an immense amount of visitors.
The convention was called to or
der in the Chamber of Commerce
at II 20 on Tuesday, by Augustus
Schell, of New York, Chairman OF
the National Democratic Committee
His speech advocated reform, the
repeal of the resumption act, and
the speedy resumption of specie
payment, beautifully consistent
lpolicy.
Henry Waterson, editer of the
Louisville Journal, was made tenn
porary president, and his speech
was for reform through the Demo
cratic party and hard money.
The rule requiring a two-thirds
vote to nominate, was adopted
without opposition.
Miss Phebe Cozens, of st. Louis,
addressed the convention in favor
of female suffrage, and her petition
was referred to the committee on
platform, for respectful considera-
ton. The committee en- credenti-
ais reported no contested seats, and
the committee on resolutions was
appointed, the Kansas member be-
ing III. ii. Trimble.
Gen. John s. McClernand, of Illi-
nois, was chosen as president of the
Convention, aud proceeded to de-
liver what he stated to be an i'm
promptu address, but after a few
minutes got "stuck" for words, and
pulled roll of manuscript out of
his pocket and finished his speech
by reading from that. His remarks
were loudly for reform through the
Democratic party, and silent as to
the financial question.
August Belmont, and d. w.
Worries, followed, the latter de-
handing greenback policy to car
ry Indiana and Ohio.
Wednesday the platform was re-
ported, but a copy has not come to
hand at this writing. Balloting to
nominate candidate for President
took place as follows:
FIRST BALLOT.
Tilden 41916, Hendricks 1929,
Hancock 20, Bsyard 33, Parker
Is, Allen Sc, Broadhead 10.
Whole vote cast 73S-necessary
to a choice 1872.
AS this reported vote foots up
743 instead Of 73S, it is evident that
the telegraph operators made a mis-
take, and gave to some candidate
more votes than he received.
SECOND BALLOT.
Tilden 535, Hendricks GO, Ham
cock 50, Bayard IL, Parker Is, Allen
"a, Thurman 2.
The convention then adjourned
to 10 a. m, Thursday, to complete
its work by nominating a Vice
President.

On the 18th the House passed the
bill to equalize soldiers bounties,
by vote of II to 46. The Kansas
members voted for it, 1t has now
to go to the Senate, where its pas
sage is looked upon as probable, as
it has passed substantially the same
bill before, and it has now been
eliminated of some features which
caused the President to veto it.
1t allows to all enlisted men-sol-
diers, sailors and marines, includ-
ing slaves and Indians-$S.33 1-3
for their percentage of services be-
tween April u, 1861 aud May 9 F,
1860, deducting all bounties already
paid under UAited States or state
laws. The bill does not apply to sub
stitute men who were prisoners of
war at the time of enlistment, or
men who were discharged on their
own application for any other cause
than disability incurred prior to the
10Th of April, 1865, unless such dis
charge was obtained with 8 view
to re-enlistment or to accept pro-
motion, or to persons discharged
on the ground of minority. All
applications for bounties under the
bill are to be filed within five years.
If this bill becomes q law, it will
bring considerable money into Kan
sas.

Now, we do not claim that the
President has made no mistakes. Ii
would be singular if he had not in
a school Ofsuch heterogeneous quail
tiles as the one over which he pre-
sides. We are not intimately &C.
quainted with him, and have no
favors to ask of him, or for him,
and he has asked none of us. Even
had he been to blame solely for the
act charged against him, out of
which the difficulty, as near as we
can learn, originally arose, to-wit,
the reduction of salaries, we assert
that the way to heal that difficulty
was not to engage in the bitter and
malignant warfare which has been
ever since waged against him by
two or three teachers and their
partisans. II was not the way to CO.
ment the school and unite it in eff
forts OF usefulness. 1t was not only
ungenerous bnt unchristian to go
to the public with the private affairs
of the faculty; 1t was even worse
to attempt to SOW the seeds of dis.
sension among the students. Yet
this has been done. Those who took
a salary from the State, not only
used every occasion, in private cir
cles, to back-bite and SANDER the
President, but they sowed the seeds
of discordEn the classes, and gath.

Bribery In New Hampshire.

Bribery at elections in the New Eag
land Stetes is a matter of public motor
iety. Neat calculations are made and
the results of the content are determined
with mathematical precision even before
the elections are held or the ballots
are coun- ID.
This is so generally nderstood that no
oeor man dare to attempt to run against
he Radical nominees. At the last cleo
ION in New Hampshire, the national Ad-
inistration forced every clerk in WASH
n. gton and the officeholders too in the
Srious States to contribute to the cor
ruption fund. This was the first gun of
the campaign and it was necessary to
Grant and his party that it be carried;
and it was known that money in large
sums would be sent into the State for
the purpose, hence, the Democrats, who
had no means to contend against such
odds, were unable to meet their adversa-
ries and had to go under. Bribery car
ried the election in New Hampshire, and
the very men who a week before con-
demned Grant and Belknap cast their
votes for the party that these corruption.
lists and peculators lead.
A few years ago New England man
attempted to introduce the same system
Of bribery, ballot-box stufing and rogue
ry in this State and city. His success
gave him great weight in the Radica
party and men of better character wer,
also found to be cheating at elections
with forged receipts and other modes. Bu
very soon the New Englander was dis
covered at his tricks and suspicioned fol
stuffing the ballot boxes of his own par.
ty at nomination. Defeat and disaste
followed, and we have heard no more o.
this fellows tricks here.
The election in New Hampshire will d
the Radical party no good. The corrup
ton and fraud which is being exposed a
Washington is sure to defeat any ma
that the Republicans may nominate, an
should the Democratic convention seleC
enator BAYARD or any other honest an
competent man, as a candidate, his elet
