NOTES OF THE REPUBLICAN, SEM
ATORIAL CONVENTION.
IFrom the Carroll Chronicles


From the Carroll chroniclel
Look at the awful and alarming pic
turtl Twenty Confederate Generals and
but four Union Generals in the United
States Senate, exclaimed Maj Gen. Bill
Day, with theatrical flourish at the Mi
nerva convention. just 30, William II.
The Senators from the Northern States
have been principally chosen by the Re-
publican party, and the few Union Gem
erals who yet remain with that party
would have very little chance with your
Jim Blaines, who hired a substitute, or
your Don Camerons, who had mule con-
tracts during the war. Contain yourself
General. The Democratic party will
soon have the pleasure of sending up to
the Senate a few real, live Union Gener.
ais in place of your feather bed warriors
who have sold out the people to the
money lords OF Wall street and Europe.
We propose to send zen. Ewing shortly.
There were five candidates for State
Senator before the Minerva convention.
Not one of them were soldiers in the
late war. They are all Major Generals
in the war inaugurated by the yardsdck,
featherbed, officeholding, stay at home
heroes who commenced hostilities when
Lee surrendered at Appomattox, The
officers and orators of the convention
we're also Major Generals; every one, ex.
cept Private Ulman, the Corinthian Cap
tain. Republican love for tie soldier is
generally put into the platform.
Major Gen. Underhill got up on his
military ear at the convention. Consid-
ering that, during the war this General
Judge was smelling the battle from afar;
was fortified behind his desk in the Pro-
bate Judges Office of Stark county at So.
600 year, during all the late war; he
exceeded old Jack Fastaff himself on
Wednesday. As a manager of con-
vention of offiCeseekers, James, from his
long experience, has become brilliant.
How he would control company of SOL
diers is yet hidden in the future.
Major Gen. Trip, in the Minerva con.
vention, emptied himself of his usual
epithets of "villainous Copperheads,"
rascally Democrats" scoundrelly oppo-
sitioD," &c. In fact the discharge from
this big gun reminded one of Capt. Nc
MulIen's Jackass Battery, which was
known in the mountains of Virginia in
the early part of the war. The only diff
ference was that in this case the howit.
ger was inside the mule, while in the
other case it was mounted on the mules
back.
Admiral Taylor made magnificent
little speech Wednesday. He had re-
peated it so often out in his coal house
that he could recite it perfectly. If the
Admiral had held his chin about two in
ches higher it would have been the
proper thing. A years service in that
other war in 1875 would have improv-
the Admiral in this respect.
The Canton Republicans like no better
afternoons entertainment, of conven-
ton day, than to spank the Carroll Rs.
publicans. The Canton bulldozers strike
from all sides, but the Carroll county in
nocents step up each year smilingly say
lug, "Here we are spank us again."
Gen. John c. Mong says the Republic
cans of Stark will not vote for Carroll
county man. The officeseekers who rep
resented Carroll at theconvention swear
that the Republicans of Carroll shall
vote for Stark county man.
1t is only the u s. Senator that will
save Hartshorn, said full hundred dis
gusted Republicans yesterday, in Car
rollton. They were swearing worse than
"our army in Flaunders."
"Your id little whippoorwill county
doesn't deserve any district offices."-
Maj Gen. Underhill to the Carroll dele
gates,
The Minerva convention opened up
with a grand charge ON the confederate
brigadiers, and ended in Kilkenny cat
fight.
