The Grant method, as displayed at Chicago,
is fully illustrated by the following incident: A
jealous champion of the man ON horseback "
stood in the rotunda of the Sherman House one
evening and announced in q loud voice to .
crowd of colored delegates tnat he would " or
ganize q band after the convention to hang
every nigger who does not vote for Grant"
The Albany argus, in view of the N. 7.
HsrGlfs sudden conversion to Grantism and its
prophecy of Grantss election, has been moved
to look up the record of the HsrdlFs political
prophecies, with this result
The Herald predicted Mr.. Buchanan would
carry New York in 1856. Gen. Fremont carried
it by $4,000 majority
The Herald predicted the Democratic electoral
ticket would carry New York in 1850. Mr.. Lin
coin carried it by 5000 majority.
The Herald predicted Gen. Mcclellan would
carry New York Ia 1864. Mr.. Lincoln carried it
by 1000 majority.
The Herald predicted that Gen. Grant would
carry New York in 1858 Governor Seymour
carried it by 10000 majority
The Herald predicted that Mr.. Greeley would
carry New York in 1872 Gen Grant carried it
The Herald predicted that Mr.. Hayes would
carry New York in 1876. Mr.. Tilden carried it
by $1,000 majority.
Into all these errors abe Herald fell, because it
"hollored with the loudest."
And the Herald has missed it again
-Daggett, Of Kings county, s. C., is one of the
many wide-awake Sherman workers here. He
has parlors adjoining Cameron's at the Palmer,
and there have not been twenty minutes in any
part of the day that some of the negro delegates
have not been in his private room. Immediately
after breakfast a negro delegate was ushered in,
and then a basket of wine and so on alternately
all day 1t was the same yesterday, and last
night when one of the delegates found himself
bedless, Daggett hada cot provided for him next
to his own. The white owner of the cot return
ing to the hotel at rather late and dizzy hour,
was urged add finally persuaded, in the interest
of resumption and success, to pair up with the
colored gentleman, and they slept together for
the rest Of the night as happily brothers should
Incidents of this kind, backed by inducements
quite as potent and substantial, have endeared
Daggett and resumption to the colOred heart be-
yond the power even of Blaines genius. Daggett
is of course, confident of Sherman's resurrection.

Tickets to the convention were retailing
around the streets on Thursday at from ten to
fifteen dollars each, and were eagerly snapped up.
Many delegates, both white and colored, put into
hands of ticket spectators the tickets to which
they were entitled, and several of the colored
delegates even disposed of their own individual
delegate tickets Chicago Dispdtch.
Senator Conklng, in the course of his speech
last Thursday evening to the New York delega-
ton, is reported to have said that personally he
preferred another candidate to Grant. But not
being pressed for the name of the other man he
was not compelled to sacrifice egotism on the
altar of truth.-ABany Journal.
"A special 10 the Charleston Neaos and Courier
of Sunday, June 9th, stated that report was
then in circulation to the effect that Garfield
would be nominated after the fourth ballot.
Whoever may be nominated at Chicago, the
proceedings Of the convention have already
shown that the Republican party, which nom-
mated its first successful candidate for President
in that city twenty years age, is about TO bury
itself where it was born.-Neao York World.
The Chicago Convention resembles game
OF poker Blaine holds four flush be has only
to draw one card to fill Grant is trying to bluff
on ace high, Edmunds and Sherman each hold
ing one card, in the expectation of drawing four
others of the same kind.-Boston Herald Special
1t is said that the anti GRANTEES hired the
railroad men to mass their locomotives on the
numerous railroad tracks alongside the conven-
ton building, and, at given signal, drown the
voices of Logan and C0nkling whenever they
rose to speak, by a hideous din of steam whistles
and engine bells.
The convention at Chicago has driven Bar

only greatest show on earth" Tickets are being
hawked about the Chicago streets at $40 apiece

had gone on for some time, Gen. Arthur, of New
York, went over to the Nebraska delegate and
asked him, with some excitement, il he was q
delegate. He replied, with some astonishment,
that he was. Gen. Arthur then asked him where
his badge was. The colloquy continued for some
minutes, when it was stopped by the chairman
of the Nebraska delegation. The indignation of
the Nebraska delegation at this interference was
so great that the attention Of the chairman of the
convention was called to 1t as described above

"A large proportion Of the negro delegates
have taken the advantage Of the demand for
seats to sell their tickets at handsome figures
One Of them sold on yesterday evening for $75-
the sale including tickets for three days. The
prevailing rate on last evening was $50 for three
days. One Of the Alabama delegates, negro,
