contemporary, the Philadelphia Times,
in the matter that was the subject of ami,
madversion in these columns yesterday.
Some one in the Times Office has very
Obligingly sent us a copy of the paper in
which, sure enough, there is an account
of the proceedings of the convention of
the Democrats in Lancaster, and the
blue streak drawn around the item pre-
vents any mistake or oversight regarding
it. In explanation of the structures re-
ferred to we may be permitted to state
that in the copy of the Times received at
this office, the blae-ringed article did not
appear, and since it was of an edition
sold and circulated on the streets of this
city, the impression very naturally went
forth among our good people that our
contemporary did not consider the con-
vention of sufficient Importance to
warrant notice. The thing re-
solves itself very clearly when it
is stated that the Times prob
ably prints two or more editions,
and the one sent to this office did not
have an account of the proceedings,
while in the later copy, or the earlier
one as tho case may be, which has been
so kindly ringed with blue, there is
very fair and accurate account Of the
convention.
