HON. PORTER DuHADWAY.
DEMOCRATIC JUDGE,
AND HON. ISAAC T. M0NAHAN,
DEMOCRATIC STATE
SENATOR.
UnbOunded Enthusiasm Of the
Democratic Masses, etc.

All day last Wednesday Democrats
were torn up in their minds about the St.
Louis convention. All Of them except
Senator Monahan, were bitterly opposed
to Tilden and Thurman, and declared
that if either OF these gentlemen was
nominated, they would not support him.
Among these was the "cheerman" of
their county central committee, who de-
clared that Hayes could beat Tilden one
hundred thousand in Ohio.
Senator Monahan gave his brethren
notice that if Tilden or Thurman should
be nominated and elected, he, the Sena-
tor, would have the distribution of all the
Postoffices in this part of the State. and
none Of these, his brethren, should get
even q smell of office.
Matters were in this happy condition at
dusk, when a crowd came up from the
Depot, Senator Monahan in advance, an
nouncing that Tilden had been nomi-
mated. The crowd stopped in front of
the STANDARD Office and opened one of
the liveliest ratification meetings that it
was our good fortune ever to hear. The
speakers were the Honorable Senator
Monahan, and the Honorable Judge Du
Hallway. If the speeches were not elo-
quent, they had the merit Of truthfulness.
The Senator was dressed in neat, clean,
white pants and white vest, black coat,
and that plug hat was thrown far back,
exhibiting to good advantage his classic
forehead. The Judge was also neatly
dressed in a suit of fine black broadcloth,
heavy gold vest chain and breast pin,
plug hat, &c.
The exercises opened as follows
Senator-"You was elected Judge by
fraud"
Judge-"You are a liar. You are
damned liar. You are damned liar
You are a DAMNED liar. YOU ARE A
DAMNED LIAR"
Senator-"Oh we'll; your saying that
does not make it any stronger. You
was elected by fraud in Pike county, and
you know it. l do not claim that you
was party to that fraud, but every body
knows that you was elected by fraud. /
supported you then; l am sorry for it;
will never do it again"
Judge-"I supported you; l am sorry
for it; will never do so again"
Senator-"Porter DuHadway, l care no
more for you than any other man. You
are not God, il you are Judge"
Judge-"I never claimed to be"
Senator-"You had me arrested and
dragged into court last winter. pay
my honest debts. You do not Pay me
what you owe me. will sue you"
Judge-"I do not owe you anything"
Senator-"Oh yes you do. You know
you do. You owe me three hundred dol.
lars. Haven't got your note1 Every-
body knows that you will not pay your
honest debts
Here profound silence reigned for the
space of FIVE minutes, when the Senator
deliberately walked to the Isham House.
In few minutes the Judge and two or
three others walked the same way, and
as they passed the Isham House the
Judge remarked: Doctor, bring that
suit" The Senator replied II intend
to when get ready. 1 would have Sued
you long ago, but il was not worth while.
You are so utterly worthless that could
not have collected anything off you"
During all these eloquent speeches, the
assembled Democrats held down their
heads in profo und silence and admiration
of these two great leaders, whom they
had elevated to high and responsible pc
sitions
