The Republicans under the lead of the
Minister Extraordinary and freshly inn
ported Carpet Bagger, Hughes, are max
ing heavy strides. Hughes is running
the machine at Republican headquarters
as Bisbee thinks in his interest, but will
when too late find out Hughes is working
only for his personal friend Conover.
hxve the a true inwardness " as to how
he (Hughes) got here and why sent,
which is not proper to let the public know
just get.
The Republicans have had flaming
transparency fixed up and took the op-
portunity to place it out in front of their
Den on Saturday evening just about the
time the negro population were going to
market, SO as to raise q crowd-having
the Band stationed near the Den. A pa
rade was made in placing the Blue
Light Signal I"-the chief cook and bottle
washer was the fresh "Carpet Bagger,
Hughes" He was very oficious in at
tending to placing the blue light" and
when in position rallied the crowd of
colored brethren for speeches, he being
the first to embrace the opportunity. His
unfortunate language at the ratification
meeting caused him to be unceremoni-
ously pulled off the stand Ia failure No. y
and at the Reed and Abbott meeting
when he forced himself upon the meeting
for the purpose of extolling Simon and
was checked by Abbott and hooted down
by the audience, IA failure No. 2.) Being
overcharged and in danger of bursting,
now was the grand opportunity to venti-
late, clear field to exhibit his oratorical
powers and show the people of this be-
nighted region " to whom he had been
sent as q political emmissdry and carpet
bdgger of the freshest water, that he was
some pumpkins as an orator and fit
champion Of the rights of his colored
brethren. Simon, Bisbee, Ledwith, Lucas
q Co., all crowded around to hear the
freshly imported magnate all the way
from Brooklyn via of Washington city,
expecting to hear an oratorical effort equal
to Webster or Clay, for his abilities
had been sounded long and loud and now
the benighted community" when about
to be gratiied at words of wisdom from
thie political missionary, Tor carpet bag
ger,) after ten minutes blow they wrote
him down an lass no connection In
his language or his arguments-no argu-
ment in fact-a TRADE of abuse, but in
word and delivery so sceak had no effect

80 aoeGkly it reacted in ridicule by his au-
dience. The judgment is our ambassador
is fraud of the first magnitude and
would not make respectable tramp. Lee
followed and made very sensible speech.
lie said Bloxham was gentleman, would
make good Governor and he knew
enough of him to say his word was as
good as his bond and it was useless for
any one to charge him (Bloxham) with
anything derogatory to personal honor or
integrity" The truth is the Abbott and
Read convention had been held that same
day and respectable ticket nominated
as compared with that of the first con-
vention. The Den was excited and mad !
over the determination to put men of
even moderate respectability and charac-
ter before the people to reprimand the
ring against such candidates as Bill Lucas
and sssch lake. Bisbee and Conover being
hard dose for many to swallow, the ad-
dition of Lucas was an overdose and
would not stay on their political stomachs,
hence the Reed and Abbott convention
and nominations Oh, how they squirm,
Il mean the Den,) over this second ticket.
ALI goes to prove that the Democrats are
the party to be relied on for good nomi-
nations and worthy the support of the
people. We present good county ticket
and give them choice between good, bad
and indi0 i0erent, and be satisfied with re-
suits, depending on the future to open
their eyes to their true interests.
