TWEED TO THE FRONT AGAIN.
The Republican Convention Of New York
Choose Boss Tweed's "Right-hand
Man'' for its first ElectOr at Large.

The Republican Convention at Sarato-
ga has nominated at the head of its elec.
toral ticket, as its candidate for first cleo
tor at large, Mr.. Abraham Y, Parker Of
st. Lawrence. In so doing, one Of the
most intimate agents of William M.
Tweed, one of those leading Republicans
whom he bought and owned and COM
manded at all times, is brought to the
front and placed in a position which is
regarded as one of very great honor,
Parker was Republican member Of
the State Senate, and at the same time
he was Tweed's right-hand man. When
Tweed held control of him, the majority
of the Senate were Democrats; but the
Boss knew how advantageous and even
necessary it was to be supported by in
fluential men of the opposite party. Ac-
cordingly he made his arrangements
with Parker, as he also did with Mr..
William B. Woodin, likewise Senator
at that time, and one of the noisiest and
most effective enemies of Roscoe Conk.
ling in this Convention at Saratoga.
There were Democrats in the Senate
who were friendly with Tweed, but not
one in whom he placed such reliance as
inlParker When ANYTHING was tc be done
there, Parker was the man he sent for;
and he always came at the summons.
The charter of 1870 was warmly support
ed by Parker and so was Tweed's infa-
nous election law. Without these meas
ures his great robberies of the city treas
ury could not have been perpetrated
and no one individual is more truly re-
sponsible for them than this first candi-
date for elector at large upon our present
Republican ticket.
Such is the entertainment which this
anti, Conkling reform con-
vention offers to the citizens of New
York. Abraham X. Parker for eleCtor
at large 1t would have been more de-
cent and more honorable to nominate
William NJ. Tweed himself-N Y Sum-

For ten days two factory girls, named
Deverel, ofCohoes New York, have been
lying in lethargic state in their room
in Cataract street boarding house, On
the 9th inst. they retired to bed as usual,
bnt had complained all day Of a singular
sensation Of drowsiness. Next morning
they did not appear, and their landlady
went into their room. They were both
asleep, The landlady could not arouse
them, and until Sunday, the 18th, neither
of them gave any evidence ofawakening.
On that day the elder of the girls awoke
and dressed herself. Soon afterward she
fell asleep, and with her sister has re-
manned asleep ever since. The case has
attracted the attention of medical men,
who are watching its result with great
interest. The girls are to all appearance
in natural and healthful sleep. Food
is forced into their stomachs by artificial
means. The sleepers are sixteen and

SEVERE BLOW TO HAMILTON O.

The Cincinnati Enquirer has these de-
tails: The old and well known manu-

been carrying on in that city the business
of making steam engines, steam traction
wagons, steam threshers, etc., whose
buildings and yards cover an area of an
acre Of ground, and which has in
good times given steady employment to
over 800 laborers, has decided to put the
fire out Of the furnaces, stop the hhnd-
reds of wheels and lathes in its shops
and wind up business.
This establishment is an incorporated
comany, and yesterday filed the neces-
sary papers in the Common Pleas court

AN exchange says; "If people will
compare the recent excellent letter Of
Gen. Mcclellan with the malignant and
mean campaign speech of Wheeler, the
Republican candidate for Vice President,
he will find it instructive. The letter of
the soldier shows he knows the war is
over, that the country needs peace to
bind up hurts and build up its industries.
The speech of the politician assumes the
war is still going on, and is for firing
the Northern heart" with bitterness
The man who was at bis post in the day
of battle knows the war is over, but the
man who sat in Congress and voted sub
sides, thinks it is still going on, wants it
to 60 on.

SENATOR Sherman recently made a
speech at Mansfield, Ohio, and being sur
rounded by his neighbors, who did not
hold him responsible for his nonsense
and falsehoods, he felt it incumbent to
say, that among the numerous investiga-
tions which the Democrats had institu-
ted, the very first move they made in
every case was to run against guilty
Democrat; that he was appointed because
he WAS Democrat, and, as the President
supposed, could, therefore, be trusted
but, like other Democrats, he had proved
false. He had no doubt Belknap will
support Tilden, like all the other "refor-
mers" of his class. Now harmless and
homeopathic lie like this, coming from
Senator Sherman, does not startle his
neighbors at all, who have long been
aware that he could discount Gulliver
when dealing with political matters. The
Radical Administration and Senate hav-
ing vindicated Belknap and given him
certificate of character; 1t is highly prop.
er for Mr. Sherman to insist that he is a
Democrat and is going to support Til
den. But does the Ohio Senator believe
that there are even ten idiots in his own
State who will believe him PITTS. Post.
