THAT LAMB AND WOLF; OR a
BONE FOR GREEN DELEGATEo
TO PICK.

democratic party held in Cumberland,
one of the delegates under the nom de
plume of Screen Delegate" has been
making himself very conspicuous by
displaying his ignorance and at the
same time rushing into print. He
makes a sally on some of the other
delegates and the JOURNAL. The in
tention Of &c. D." is evidently to hide
his own glaring Ignorance by pounc-
ing on others.
I propose to give a plain, truthful
statement Of facts-easily proven by
members of the delegation and others
interested.
Messrs. J. J. Arnold, August Col
myer, John McCaughan and Peter ].
Cordial ("Green Delegate") were the
only members of the No. II delega-
tion who attended the convention.
At the primary in Frostburg Mr..
Cordial &C. Do pledged himself to
nominate and vote for Mr.. ]. B. Nc
Culloh as No. 12's choice for dele
gate to the State Conventian, at the
same time telling Mr.. McCulioh he
was not the choice of the delegation.
Mr.. McCaughan positively refused to
support Mr.. McCulloh. Messrs. Col
myer and Arnold concluded, while
on the train going to the convention,
to give their support to another par
ty. Thus Cordial ("G. d. was left to
himself as a sole support of Mr.. Nc
Culloh. After the convention was
called to order and the committee on
credentials were out, Mr.. Colmyer
concluded to 60 with Mr.. Cordial and
give Mr.. McCulloh a complimentary
vote of the delegation. He met Mr..
Arnold in the hall and told him that
they had concluded to do so. To
this Mr.. Arnold very readily assent
ed. So you see it was an understood
arrangement. But Mr.. McCulloh, to
still further satisfy himself in regard
to the matter, went to the No. IL del
egation and asked them if he was to
have their first vote to which Mr..
Arnold replied, eyes, that is the un-
derstanding." That, of course, salts
fed Mr.. McCulloh and he went off.
Mr.. McCaughan, who wrote the tick
ct, refused to put his name on.
Messrs. Arnold and Colmyer contend
ed for it as they had promised but
Mr.. P. J. Cordial, ("G. d. pledged
to support him, and who nominated
him, wheeled off and said ooh, damn
him, let him go !" Now as the dele
cation stood two for and two against
him Mr.. McCulloh's name had to be
dropped add "Green Delegate" was the
sole cause Of Mr.. McCullohs slaugh-
ter. So much for the facts in the
case.
Now for that wolf and that Judas
and that delicate lamb. That un-
heeced lamb, or "Green Delegate" or
political mountebank, or Peter j. Cor
dial, the man of Protean political
principles, to cover his own cowardly,
traitorous villainy in selling a man to
whom he was pledged, wishes to sneak
out of the slime and filth Of the sty
he crawled into by shouting" Judas
in camp" bidding defiance, and
breathing threats and vengeance on
the MINING JOURNAL. Oh, Mr.. Jour
NAL, are you not scared at this mod
ern Nero Are you rot troubled by
thoughts of terrible incubus, driv-
ing peace, sleep and pleasure to the
wall2 Your case is terrible one /
How I pity you'll In my dreams l
see you like pigmy lying under this
terrible Goliath your mangled bleed
ing little frame lies quivering with
the most intense agony. But |
wake the dream is gone; the pigmy
a giant; the erewhile giant brazen
egotist Let US hunt Judas. Who
is Judas? Well, &c. D." meant
either Mr.. Arnold or Mr.. Colmyer;
he could not apply it to Mr.. Nc
Caughan as the facts show. But /
have found him. Mr.. Arnold, you
are a Judas; you betrayed &c. D. )"
you told Mr.. McCulloh"G. D." went
back on him; you should have let
Mr.. McCulloh consider you a liar,
that &c. DIS unspotted, untarnished
name would not have been suspected
Of treachery.
Now, Mr.. &c. d." people who
have known Mr.. Arnold for twenty
Eve years, know also that he is no
Judas in politics or anything else and
I defy you to prove the contrary.
His character for truth and veracity
is second to none he is and always
has been democrat. Can you say
as much? No, you can't. How
much did the greenbackers pay for
your little soul in 1876 to help Peter
Cooper? How much did Horace
Resley and the greenbackeFs pay for
your treacherous little influence to as
sist in defeating Mr.. Peter for Congress
in 1878? Such acts as these, and
others that might be named against
you, cannot be proven against the
man you see fit to call a Judas. Both
he and the JOURNAL can show bet
ter political record than you dare
claim. You will apply the advice
about glass houses and throwing
stones, so freely given by you to 9th
ers, TO yourself, and in addition take
the advice of the JOURNAL concern
