- Senator Bruce, of Mississippi, is
presented for the consideration of the
Chicago Convention in making up its
ticket. Bruce is the colored Senator
from Mississippi whom Hoar and Ham,
lin are SO fond of and SO glad to see
anywhere except in their own society.
The Senator's friends labor under the

his possession a very close and clear
history of Grants Administration. He
walked into court at st. Louis with the
atmosphere of the President blue-room

Grant, and suffered for eighteen months

public the deepest disgrace which could
befall it. He is not sure that the Chi
cago Convention will nominate Grant,
but if it does, he will show by docu-
ments in his possession that he should
not be elected Chicago Times.
