POLITICAL TAFFY.

The New York Sun in commenting on
the action o; the Chicago Convention,
refers TO the fact that the sympathy for
Clayton of Arkansas and his ''empty
sleeve was mere bosh when it Is known
that Clayton accidentally shot himself
while hunting jack rabbits two years
after the q Referring 10 the ironclad
test he SIM says: A delegate from
Tennessee lad introduced the following
Resolution, commonly known as the iron
clad test:
"RssOired. As the sense Of the Convcn-
ton, that every delegate j. bound in
honor 10 support the uami1ee Of this
Convention, whoever th-t may be, and
no L should hold 4 seat here who Is
not ready 10 30 agree"
This brought the Hon. George William
Curtis 70 his feet at once. As soon a.
he could gain a hearing, he appealed to
the Convention in Z speech quite rs i'm
passioZrl and rather mo-e grammatical
'44A- NNNs N'h-h - NAlE - A'l - AAtlt
"a resolution which reflected upon the
honor and loyalty Of the dclcgut Is. He
appealed in the name # Lincoln, IN the
name OF Joshua r. Giddngs and.
finally, III tn name Of that great i'm
mortal leader whose frce frorted Us
thcre-Jamc5 i. Garfield Of Ohio"
The delegate from Tennessee who had
introduced the test quoted above was so
deeply moved by the Hon. Geo. William
Curt:ss eloquent and arimnaacal appeal
that lie Withdrew the resolution, 18th
the distinct explanation TIA, he did so
as q tribute 10 ''the memory Of Garfield. +"
But AL this was the jack u,Lsit and
empty sleeve business over again. The
same resolution, word for word, against
which Mr.. George William Curtis pro-
tested I'm the name Of Garfield" and
which Mr.. Hawkins Of Tennessee with
drew in memory Of Garfield" was
adopted by the Republican Convention
of 1880, and James a. GARFIELD Of Ohio
voted for it,
