THE RADICAL CONVENTION.
NOTHING MR. SPEECHES, FIGHTS AND
H0wLs
Fourth nay.


Things little late, an hour or SO.
Convention comes TO order with q
prayer. Everything very dignided and
quiet; members as peaceable as lambs,
and looking exceedingly sober and
sleepy; In fact the convention Is on the
tail end of q big long drunk. Yester-
days whisky and howls, caucus TO one
o'clock, nightmare afterwards, etc,
have done what Pinch gavel could not
do-produeed u temporary quiet and
decorum in the convention. Members
arc physically incapable OF bowling.
Even the strong ind sonofous voice of
Burch is completely gone; nothing loft
but hoarse whisper.
Pinch leads of, Of course woos
him as mildly as sucking dove" All
Is agreed on the entire matter ended.
What is needed is simply o resolution
and ballot There is not the.least di.
vorsity Of opinion in the convention.
Tho Republican party Is again united,
PARLIAMENTARY.
Mr.. Morey offers comprehensive
three headed motion. that the con
vention reconsider the report OF the
committee on credentials, roeommit ii
to tho committee, and on this the last
vote be called, and that the vote be by
ballot
Packard is willing IL IL will only be
changed so ns to read "that the conyen-
ton reconsider the report Of the Com
mittce on Credentials. recommit IL to
the committee; that on this tho last roll
be called that the vote be taken by bal
lot that the committee report in five
minutes that the contests then be con
siderod; that on this the ballot be by
the original roll. I"
Having reached this easy PLAIN and
lucid explanation, Packard launched
out In denunciaton Of all kinds of
political trickery.
LITTLE MIXED.
Mr.. Burch moved that this roll should
be the other roll. and that said roll be
reconsidered as Il roll, and the past roll.

Ia others speak on various subjects.
The Administration, Pinch and every
(iy else have, rejected the morning
mpromisc and are back again at the
scenes. The bar only turning out
Aonade, the convention had, for
tately. been quiet up to this time, but
1sky gets a show again and the old
Hing recommenoes and goes on for
Aour or so to the kune of Red Hot,
tr Spangled Banner" etc.
Sreats OF bolt. NDumont, for the
Alinistrationists, swears they are not
gk to stand this, and will only tole-
raihe original roll. A tumor that the
stA Is going to be stormed en- ntasse,
anihat blood will flow. fThe South
erffepublicans are going 20 murder
