The left wing Of the democrat and
greenback party, 1--WE call it the left
wing because the whole thing will get
left in Novemberl held a senatorial
convention at this place last Saturday.
Less than a dozen democrats and green
hackers met in the school house, and
organized by e'ecting s. H. Brad ey, of
Kirwin, chairman and w. A. GarretsOn.
secretary. On taking the chair Mr..
Bradley said great many hard things
about the republican party but no good
for the democrats or greenb8ckers, but
accidently, or thr ugh ignorance, gave
The late democratic congress a sumner
in the short ribs. He said daring the
last congress q bill was introduced to
repeal the pre- empt on and law re4uir-
ing the publication of proof notices.
thinking this would gain the favor of
the hOmesI eader, but in order to not
displease the capitalists, this bill was to
pass the House DuU die Al the Senate,
and thus both the hUmesteAder and
capitalist would be satisfied. This is Il
pretty hard lick at the demOe ttcY when
it Is known that the last congress was
democratic. MIR. Bradley SAID the re-
publican party freed the negro, but
had never done thing for them since
Well the republican party never took
any especial pains to favor the cOlOred
man over any one else, but wherever
he republican party has been in the
ascendency, there the cOlOred man has
had free and equal rights wifH the
white man, and this every body knows
is more than can be said of democracy,
IOr instance witness the bulldOZiug at
elections in the south. Does any one
know of an instance in IA republican
STATE where a colOred man was deprived
Of the free and untrameled liberty of
the ballot, or hold an office. The idea
OF dem Gratis claiming to be friends of
the cOIOTed man is one of the most reck-
less statements we ever heard, Mr.. BIS
speech ali the way through was about
as void of reason aud truth as his re-
marks in regard TO the republican par
" and the cOlOred man.
A committee of three consisting of
Two greenbackers and one democrat
was appointed on resolutions and TO say
hat they we're highly seasoned with
greenbacKism IS putting it very mild,
No reference whatever was made to the
democratic party, They resolved that
the present railroad law under the COM
missioner system is a failure, while the
democratic speakers, Click inciGded,
are using this law as inVircible argu-
ment in favor OF his re- election. They
resolved in favor Of .e-submissiOn; this
will strike the average democrat ri at
plump in the stomach, sill there are a
host # democrats, De it said to their
credit, and for the good of society and
the morals of the country, who de-
nOuRce this resolution and will repudi-
ate the candidate who stands on plat
form containing = plank Of that kind.
They resolved in favor Of the repeal Of
the spring election law. A good re-
solve. otter the resolutions had 0een
disposed Of, which was not done until
the chairman asked some one TO make
motion to adopt them, the business of
nominating a candidate for State Sena-
tor was introduced and Mai. L T. War
ner nominated by reclamation. The
Mai. was sent for aud heard the read
ing of the resolutions, after which he
delivered a little speech thanking the
convention. etc, but never once re-
ferred to the resolutions as good, bad
Oh Indifferent, whether they met his
views or not. But then he had an OBJ
iect in this, undoubtedly, as there were
some democrats present who are Op-
posed TO re--ubmissiOn, and while 1t is
fact Maj. Warner accepted the nOmin-
alton on a platform containing q resO-
luton in favor of ie-~ubmissi0n, and If
elected will have 10 work and vote for
that measure, he can say TO the temper
ance democrats that he is not in favor
Of re-submissiOn, and never endorsed
that resolution when he accepted the
nomination He occupies the same Pc
sitiOn that the tariff question does in
the memorable national platform. He
