While Sherman sustained defeat at
Saratoga, the Ohio utterances of Sec
retary Carl Schurz found as little
favor. Instead of denouncing the
greenback and demanding its retire
ment, the platform insists upon its
w1rofe taiIsfasHGtTs yithu aal.d- The
beginning to end it turns upon reten-
ton of power to use both army and
navy on election as we'll as other days.
and bears not the slightest resem-
blance to the proceedings conducted
by the Flying Dutchman in 1876, or
those advocated by him since. Next
to that gentleman's extreme desire to
dictate platforms, the most absurd
thing connected with him is his want
OF conception of the tendency to stall
wartism, that is being developed in
the Republican party in regard to ev-
erything national.

culture has long article endorsing

NEW YORK.

Despite Sprague's shotgun, Sena'
tor Conkling controls the New York
Republican machine with as firm q
grip as ever. His late triumph at
Saratoga cannot be too profoundly
studied. II it means anything, it in
dicates that the Republican party in
New York does not favor the presi-
dental aspirations of Secretary Sher-
man.
The administration can now writhe
and wrggle, it may even protest
against Conkling's dictatorship, but
it is difficult to discover how it is
going either to avoid or upset it. 1t
may be, and DOUBTLESS is true, that
Mr. Alonzo E. Cornell is not, in any
sense, representative man that he
impersonates no policy, State or Ma
tional that he is only wire-worker
and dernagogical manipulation, ejec-
ted from the New York Custom House
for his advocacy of Conkling; but all
that intenslfies the disgust excited at
Washington by that Senator's an
nouncement, that Cornell's fight was
his fight and that his protegee's VIC
tory would be his triumph.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1879-09-11

electors and representatives. With
such platform, in such a contest,
the Democracy must be successful,
and winning New York the election
of President with follow, as mat
ter of course.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1879-09-11

At this moment it looks as il the
backset administered to Sherman will
be irreparable. The convention at
Saratoga was no ordinary assembly.
Whatever may be said of its choice
for governor, the body itself was
highly representative. The building
occupied by it was filed with an array
of ability that Is rarely witnessed.
President Wheeler was called to
the chair, and with Conkling, ad-
dressed followers and supporters.
The platform unanimously adopted
amid the greatest enthusiasm, refer
red to resumption, not as the contri-
button of John Sherman, but as the
crowning element of Republican
financial policy, originated by the
senators of that party after a veto OF
imitation by Grant in 1874.
The slightest allusion to General
Grant was followed by exhibitions
OF enthusiasm. Senator Conk-
ling was obliged to pause in his ad-
dress, as cheer after cheer arose for
the mailed man on the dark horse
with the Senator himself behind him
as heir apparent in case of q declina-
ture or defeat.

Ice Cream Feast.

ON Wednesday afternoon his Honor the
Mayor, Mr.. g. A. Lyon, paid a graceful
complainant to the typographical fraternity.
He invited the entire corps, editorial and
Topographic, of both the newspaper offices
Of the city TO partake of ice cream, shebet
strawberries, lemonade and cakes at his new
saloon established for the purpose. On our
arrival we found that the gentlemen of the
Tobacco Leaf had anticipated us and seemed
to be industriously occupied in doing justice
to Mr.. Ligon's liberal hospitality Ligonis
establishment, however, was equal to the
occasion, and our table was soon spread with
delicacies which would have tempted the
palate of an anchorite. Very soon Riley
abandoned his comrades of the Tobacco
Leaf and Joined our table. He complained
that such was the voracily of Ingram, Bats
and Brandon that he had been unable to
secure for himself more than a gallon of ice
cream and peck of strawberries, and SO he
proposed to join party of more moderate
consumers. We gladly welcomed him, and
we hope ne got enough. After copious in
diligence in the Apician luxuries furnished
us, we returned our Acknowledgements in
the name of the party to his Honor, and
Riley attempted TO follow suit, but the
superintendent weight of gastronomic lux
uries overwhelmed his efforts and he was
compelled to recognize the hospitality of his
Honor
mot with vain thanks, but with acceptance
bounteous."
We here reiterate our acknowledgements |
to Mr.. Lyon and West Perkins for a very
graceful act of hospitality.

Nothing so much promotes the progress of
a fire from one story to another as the wood
en- mantelpieces which have so long been in
vogue, and we are glad to notice the intro
ductiOn of different article, which avoids
the inaccessible prices of marble and at the
same time is beautiful, durable and an OBJ
staele rather than an aid to confagrat-Sns
These remarks have been occasioned by an
inspection of some very beautiful mantels
of marbelized iron at the establishment of
KincannOn, Wood & Co., which cannot be
surpassed IN appearance by the finest mar
bic, and are offered so cheap that no excuse
can be given for the continued use of wood.
From SIG to s35 is stated as the price of man
tells as eligible in appearance as well as du-
rability marble articles which would cost
at least four times the sum.

/ Next Monday morning the c. W. Ander-
son leaves tine wharf at this city for Nash
Vile, and with her, If we guess Alright, a
large number of our people, both from town
and county. 1t is only now and then that
an opportunity is offered of joining an ex-
cursion at such moderate rates as are offered
by the Anderson for next Monday, and we
do not doubt that q great many will avail
themselves of the opportunity. The boat
will leave GAINESVILLE Monday morning at
6 o'clock and arrive, on return trip, Wednes-
day morning, the fare for the round trip
being, SINGLE ticket, So 90; gentleman and
lady, s. 90.
The present season of the year is in every
way suited to such excursion, being
neither too cool nor too warm, while all
nature viii wear its loveliest aspect. The
borders of the Cumberland, frfnged with
the rich veTdure of spring, with here and
there a rugged, picturesque cliff Jutting out
over the waters edge, the river shimmering
in the warm sunlight, and sweet strains of
music floating out upon the waters as the
boat plOws her way nike thing of life"
through the ripping waves, presents a pic
ture to the minds eye sufficient to tempt
an anchorite, much less the eyer-pleasure-
seeking youth of our county.
Whether there will be any dramatic or
other entertainment going on in Nashville
while the excursionists are there we cannot
say, but, even if there should not be, no diff
ficulty will be experienced in finding plenty
of amusement in the sightseeing line, and
those who might possibly fail to do so may
look upon it as their own fault. Those who
have in contemplation a trip to Nashville
on business should arrange, if possible, to go
on board the Anderson next Monday, and
so make their trip both one of business and
pleasure-not neglecting to take with them
their "better halves" The officers of the
boat will make all necessary preparation
for the comfort and pleasure OF their guests,
and will also provide an excellent string
band for the occasion in order that the lads
and lassies may
"Chase the glowing hours with flying feet"
to their hearts content. Those who can't
enjoy themselves without their "tea" would
doubtless confer a favor by remaining at

With such an embarrassment Of riches as
we were supplied with last week as the ma
teriaI for our notice Of the Grand Procession,
il would not be surprising if some item were
omitted. We now supply the omission of
]. g. Joseph d Bro, who had splendid
Nv decororated wagon well filled with arti-
Giles of clothing ana personal ornament; we
also neglected William Hays wagon adver-
Using his dry goods and Notions. Il wagon,
also, containing a fantastic structure of tub
ing, etc, from the Gas and Waterworks
shop, had a very attractive appearance.
The splendid appearance of the FIRE COM
panies and the c. {. G.'s it would hav beeE
superfuous to mention as IN every process
sion in GAINESVILLE they form the nucleus
and very often the procession itself
