There was no mention Of Curtis by

descended through the impersonal "some

No man who has seen the latter, with
his pretentious manners and little iolics
OF dress; who has beheld his spare cover
ing OF hair parted in the middle; who has
observed his sort OF training day style Of
oratory, could fail to recognize the figure
which COnkllng held up before the con-
yentlon andcharactcrized as "a man.mll,
liner and carpet-knight Of politics. And
so with every other allusion-each
was put in such way that it
could not be mistaken, and il
cut to the bone, first, because 1t was in
measure deserved, and, secondly, because
it was put in language charged with in.
dignation and tipped with contempt and
disdain.
The scene was notable one, and
though we regret the alienation and iii.
vision that II must necessarily cause
among New York Republicans, we can
not but admire the ability displayed IN
what was certainly one of the most re-
markablc rhetorical tournaments that has
been witnessed in political convention
Tor years.
