CONDENSED TELEGRAMS.

THE New York Republican State
Convention, held on the 9th, proved to be a
fairly harmonious gathering, considering
the acrimony that prevailed in many Of the
primary contests. The Half-breeds had an
undisputed majority in the Conven-
ton, and controlled its organization and
shaped matters generally after their own
fashion. The contrasting Conkling delegates,
from Oneida and other districts, were re-
morselessly excluded. Gen. Joseph B. Carr
was renominated for Secretary of State, Ira
Davenport was nominated for Comptroller,
Leslie W. Russell for Attorney General,
James W. Hustled for Treasurer, Silas Sey
mour for State Engineer, and Francis M.
Finch for Judge of the Court of Appeals
The resolutions adopted deplore the asssas
sination of President Garfield, warmly COM
mend the measures inaugurated dur
ing his Administration, especially the
prosecution Of the Star-route frauds, and
promise President Arthur hearty support
in pressing them to the full limit of his au-
thority. Confidence is expressed in Presi-
dent Arthur's integrity and patriotic inten-
tions, with the hope that his Administra-
ton will be in line with that of his lamented
predecessor.
The Massachusetts, Democratic State
Convention placed in nomination the follow
ing ticket: For Governor, Charles P. Thomp-
son; Lieutenant-G Governor, James H..
Carleton; Secretary Of State, Gen.
Michael T. Donahue; Treasurer and
Receiver General, Col. Francis j.
Parker; Auditor, Charles r. Field; Attor-
ney-General, Gen. Patrick A. Collins. The
resolutions adopted favor revision Of the
the encouragement Of American shipping by
the removal Of onerous taxation, etc, etc.

Let the Fool Remain

Mr.. Septimus Brightly was An aristo-
crat, and man of mark. He had held
many offices of honor and profit, and he
deemed himself we'll worthy of all honor
that had been conferred upon him.
This was the man who. somewhat late
in life, took to himself young wife.
The woman whom he had chose thus to
honor was several years younger than
himself. She was tive-and-t thirty and
he tive-and-ffty. However, though
younger, she was a widow, and pos
sessed of considerable wealth. And she
was quite handsome, also, besides be-
ing intelligent, witty and vivacious. She
had but one failing, one drawback, in
the Honorable Septimus' estimation;
she was Scotch by birth, and retained
much of her native idiom and accent,
of which haE.t her husband tried to
break her. More than once Mrs.
Brightly had begged of her husband not
speech; but she laid it upon him most
emphatically that he should not, under
any circumstances, allude to her Pc
culiarity of pronunciation in public. For
time this all went well. Atlength,
however, the autocrat manifested him
self. 1t was at an evening party, given
by himself and wife, where many nota-
bles were present. In the course OF the
dinner the lady called to a servant and
babe him take away the fools Cher pro-
nunciation of fowls). Said her hus-
band. very pompously and pointedly:
"You mean fowls, my dearn'
eco - che ,.ot,,rpoJ !,
charming smile; and then to the serv-
ant:
John, you may remove the fowls
and let the fool remainr'
1t is doubtful if he ever ventured
upon like experiment again.-N. Y.
Ledger.
