ginia as a remedy for political Ills, equal TO
Mrs. Winslow's cure for babies. While

on, and Smith man was heard to inquire
Of Senegambian delegate from Caroline
what objection he had to John Amber
Smith. The delegate promptly replied,
"HE MORTIFIED DE ClBIL-RIGirTs BILL"
Another side-show was. the action OF an
ebony-hued suifragaD recently turned out
OF the lunatic asylum. This eminent
statesman regaled crowd In the jury
room with wild and violent harangue,
during which he waved his bloody butcher
apron in the most approved John-Logan,
Zach-Chandler, Roscoe-Conkling style.
At 3:45 O'Clock the Convention was again
called to order. This task at one time
seemed hopeless, until q cOlored sergeant
alarms went around ordering white and
black TO take Off their hats, and crying,
"Order, gentmen," Come to order, gent
men,"
Mr. Brooke, OF Louisa, offered resolu-
tion appointing an additional committee OF
thirty-two to look after the old committee.

committee OF one to see why the committee

name was John Wallace, from IIanracker"
TO which Wallace replied, "Thank you,
SIR"

out to look after the Committee on Creden-
tials and find out what was the matter with
them.
The committee OF inquiry reported that
the Committee on Credentials would make
