The above ticket created commotion in
camp. Ed Shaw, colored, denounced it on
the streets, and but for the unfortunate inter-
vention of white Democrat, would have had
bloody encounter with another man OF color
over the ticket. Other representative Radl-
GALS and Nationalist likewise, denounced the
ticket. There was a stormy time on the
streets between the boys representing differ
emit elements, but all awaited the afternoon
secret session of the delegates.

THE TICKETS IN AUGUST.
1t is generally believed by the wise ones
who know something of local politics, that
three tickets will be in the field in August
| the Democratic, National and Independent
The National ticket is the joint ticket OF the
National and Republican parties; SO no he
publican straight ticket will be put out ex,
cept as blind. The Independent ticket wll
also be blind to take votes away from the
Democratic ticket, for the benefit of the
National and Radical ticket published above
CONG RESSIONAL.
