GAINESVILLE, June 20, 1876
Mr. Editor We have heard here in Barnes
vile of the action of the National Republican
Convention and we talk about it. OF course
its none of our business as we have SO few
radicals here--but then we talk Of il any way
People generally talk most Of that that is
none of their business. We can't help but
sympathize with our radical citizens in losing
their favorite, Blaine. For they do love a
rascal, aud Blaine suited them exactly But
that cruel convention left him in the midst of
his bonds, his faniing spell, and his very sus-
| picious Caldwell dispatch His personal mag
netism couldn't reach Cincinnati, not even
with the help of the magnetic telegraph that
was extended 10 his private library for that
| very purpose. And there was his great rival
in the bloody shirt business, Morton. In spite
of the physician certificate that he presented
| the convention thought his legs were too sick
to make good run. The Connecticut "fa-
vorite SON. wasn't considered n brilliant
enough jeacel 10 be in the radical breast-plate,
! and he was dropped. Hartranft, although
much endeared to all loyal republicans by his
hanging of Mrs. Surrat aud by his proficiency
in addition, division and silence, was so far
ont-sripped by Blaine in similar radical yir-
tues that his light glinmered and faded Then
that iurkey-cock, Conkling, had the stutlng
pretty well knocked out of him Please ex-
cuse the neegance Of that remark for The
sake of its appropriateness. Brislow, of course,
had no chance in such an assembly. There
were too many there who suspected that he
was honest, besides he had alicnated the peni-
tertiary vote and that was consideration
not to be over looked by any means. No

influences brought to bear that have driven
him from the cabinet. An honest man in the
cabinet would be fatal to the party. So Hayes
hazed the whole of them and won the prize
ticket that will carry him up Salt River next
fall, Just because nobody wanted him. 1t can
hardly be thought that the Ohio delegation
wanted him, but they had fit of 'fayorile
son" gush and must be in the fashion. I'm
less, however, it can be proven that be stole
something during the war or since, has in
some similar way fitted himselfto belong to
the party and control the vote of the army of
the indicted, he will have poor show Why
didn't Iowa present the name of her favorite
son, Belknap? There could be doubt of his
fitness What an oversight it was, TO be sure
Or, Delaware might have favorie son. Har-

Well, as | said at first, its none of our bust
ness-it isn't our funeral that is, we are not
that the corpse is. ready next November, and
we'll do it. No cards. friends will attend
without further notice-that is, those who
can get out of the penitentiary. Mr.. Grant
will probably see 10 that
of course we talk a good deal about the
presidential nominations, but not half as
much as we do about dogs. We have gotten
over the horse fever. Every body knows some
thing about mad dogs and can relate person
al or hearsay adventures with those interest
ing creatures. The result is two more dogs
killed, and some more yet tied up waiting
further Developments
Our Grange met last Tuesday, and divided
amongst it's members stores necessary to carry
them through harvest don'i know whether
they got them any cheaper than if they had
bought them at the stores but then they
spted the middle men and are therefore happy
Farmers are commencing harvest to-day
and harvest hands are having preliminary
drunk. Tie prospect for a good harvest CON
tinues, and the prospect for general drunk
of harvest hands after harvest is done is be-
yond the pale of doubt
TO make local letter right down right in
teres:ing somebody ought to be well showed
up that pleases every one except the party
shown up And what right has Just one to
let his feelings stand in the way Of pleasing so
