A FARCE.
THE SNlDE CONVENTION
Charlie Rines, Tom Galley, J. L. Cater.
F. NJ. Campbell and the Other
Big Guns Run the
"Old Machine" = .y.-

We call it "a farce because one
sixth Of the voters of the county were
not represented in the convention.
Had it been deemed necessary the
whole county v ould have been rep
resented. We call it the s'snide con-
vention'' because Mr.. Barker and bis
friends. in our humble opinion, were
knowingly misled into the. belief that
they would meet wit,sk.ittie or no
opposition. We .sas, that ssCharlie
.Rines, Tom Galley, F. NJ. Campbell
and J, L. Cater run the old machine:
that nobody will deny; neither will it
be denied that Mr.. j. L. Cater is
one Of the most ultra democrats in
the 30th legislative district. We
have no personal feeling in this matter,
all of the above mentioned gentlemen
have been, and, we hope. still are our
staunch friends-have been our friends
when we needed friends most. But
we do ,despise the manner in which
the convention, on Saturday was con-
Quoted. But, 1.-THE least sad is soon
est mended," so we will comment no
further. The result of the, ballot
was, I. H. Galley 20 votes, A. P.
Barker l8 votes With the excep-
ton Of five votes, which were cast
for R. C. Dunn after he and his friends
had left the hall, Mr.. F. NJ. Camp
bell was unanimously chosen as second
delegate. The delegates were not
instructed to support any candidate.

GREENBUsH LETTER.
.GREENBusH, Aug. 10th.

.GREENBUsH, Aug. 10th, '79.
EDITOR Union:
The UNION Of last week is at hand;
in it we see the question, sis there
anybody in Greenbush capable of writ
ing items?" oh, yes, but we are not
all going to answer at once. It is
rather difficult to find items in place
like this, where there is no church,
post office or store. and the people do
not meet very often; but If you were
to stroll out this way some time you
might see something worth mentioDing.
for instance, Mr.. M. Campbelps nice
orchard. in which the trees are so
loaded with apples that many of the
limbs are broken off with the weight
of them -. :
Tell US all about that packed con.
yention, in this weeks UNION. Politics
are very quiet here. The farmers
are all too busy to bother much about
politics. ....s ...E. ,........ 49,.

GREENBUsH, MINI, Aug. goth, '79.
Editor Umioa: - i
In your last you ask sis there any.
body in Greenbush capable of writing
items?.' We wish you to know that
We can-in fact many of US are natur-
al scribes, But this is the busiest
season of the year. The severe storms
which came just before harvest did
much TO increase and delay the labor.
In that part of Greenbush known
as the '.French Settlement all the
grain has been cared for without the
use of machinery. ~
They say there was considerable
fun at the convention fn Princeton, on
Saturdays. Mr.. Searle has many friends
here and they are far from satisfied

vention." -

TIE "YOUNG MAN,sv FIGHT.


The supercilious and egotistical ass who
fills the Office of lieutenant general of the
army recently endorsed q dispatch from
Gen. Miles to the war departments: ssHere is
a young man who is anxious to get into
fight, and he will get it pretty id quick.'
The discourtesy that inspired these words
while characteristic of the man is decidedly
disgraceful to the service. As rule the Of
fcers of the army are thorough gentlemen.
They treat each other with marked consid-
Grafton and all with whom they come in
contact with the courtesy to which they
are entitled. The exceptions to the rule are
few. Sheridan is perhaps the most note
worthy example. Pulled up by Unborn van
ity, inordinately praised by syco-
phantic admirers, he has reached
the stage where he imagines
that all military sagacity and bravery is
wrapped up in his own diminutive body.
He has never been known to accord credit
to any of his subordinates for the brave OF
faithful performance of their duty, but has
seized every opportunity that presented itself
to cast slurs upon them with the evident idea
that by degrading them he would build him
self up. The gratuitous insult to Gen. Miles
noted above ought to subject him to court
martial and instant dismissal from the SER
vice, but his rank will in all probability save
him from this nerited disgrace.
