It must be rare fun to attend Demo
cratic Congressional Convention. al
though, we fear, it would become just a
little monotonous, after while. At Mt
Vernon, they succeeded in nominating
Judge Geddes, on the 1,255th ballot. At
GAINESVILLE, Gibson Atherton was nomi-
mated on the 10th ballot The new Con-
gressional Districts appear to be bringing G
a great deal of trouble to the Democratic
statesmen. The trouble appears to be
that there are too many statesmen in the

the Jackson Standard in such a pitiable
role as it at present occupies.-[ Bucyrus
Journal
Now one thing more, which we have
been urging the Hayes papers to tell. If
it is all right and proper to put an unre-
pentant rebel General at the head of the
Postofice Department, and copperhead
Democrats in the Postoffices under him,
and they all work and contribute to the
cause of rebel Democracy, why do these
papers p, etend to support the Republican
State, Congressional and county tickets
We never like to impute dishonesty or
bad motives to any one; but how can a
paper favor the appointnaent of rebels and
Democrats to office, and urge the election
of Republicans, and be honest?

The manner in which some people can
be gulled is marvellous. Some time be-
fore the adjournment of Congress, reso-
luton was passed almost unanimously,
that the title of President Hayes is good,
and cannot be disturbed whereupon all
the papers took it for granted that the
Democrats were very fine fellows. and all
would be lovely. In the mean time the
Potter investigation proceeded, and the
testimony of Maj. Burke, which no one
disputed, clearly and conclusively estab-
lished the fact that Stanley Matthews,
Gov. Dennison and others, did make
bargain by which the electoral count
was to be permitted to proceed, and in
return Hayes was to turn South Carolina
and Louisiana over to the rebels, and the
MacVeagh commission was in fulfillment
of this bargain. The easy souls who can
be gulied by Democratic sharpers could
see nothing in all this. But now one of
the Potter committee has been telling
of the family secrets, and short dispatch
in the Cincinnati Gazette says:
"WAsHINGToN, Aug. f.
Springer, of the Potter committee
talks very freely of the case as he calls
it, which, to his mind, has already been
established by the Potter committee He
regards it as one which will not only JUS
tify impeachment, but which demands it.
He thinks the Wormley Hotel confer
ence, in connection with the subsequent
action of the Louisiana Commission, quite
sufficient to sustain articles of impeach-
ment and he fully expects the House to
present them at an early day. Such talk
doubtless reflects the views of several of
the Potter committee"
Dispatches in other papers say that the
disclosures of Springer have caused quite
ftutter in Washington City.
