iiornia, the Illinois delegation quit the
Convention, leaving New York and Cali
fornia, with the assistance OF President
Sharp and one or two scattering delegates
from Maryland and Virginia, TO proceed
with the farce OF adopting plat
farm and nominating candidates. " This
is why there ls no National Amcrl-
can party this year. But who is this James
Langlon Curtis whom the New York
Tammany Hall British Americans forced
upon an unwilling party? Amcr'cd an
swcrs and says that he lis an aged million
airc, who fingers superilOus on the ragged
edge OF imbccility and dotage. He is
mark for political confidence men. Once
upon atime he ran for Governor OF Conncc-
ticut and received about $50 votes. A few
years ago he lost his wife, Since then he
has been a Spiritualist, and about the
time that the call was issued Tor National
American Convention he received COM
muncation from Caleb Cushing, from the
spirit world, informing him, Curtis, that
he was TO lc the next President OF the
! United States. This was received as a call
to take the leadership of the new party,
| and being made known to a set OF design
ing men in New York, opened the way for
! the job, which, with the aid OF Democratic
managers 1.-THE Tammany Hall British
! Americana they proceeded to put up on
the conddng old dotard and the young and
unorganzcd American party" And this is
why there is no National American party
this year. America, concluding its doleful
history says ain the language Of the
resolutions adopted at meeting OF the
! boiling representatives OF Illinois, Maine,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts,,
Louisiana, Vermont, Virginia, Maryland,
Mississippi South Carolina, Alabama,
FlOndn and Delaware, and one each from
California and New York, we declare
that the action OF that convention is no
more entitled TO the support and respect
OF tho American party than ii it had been
held at some underground ward meeting
in New York city, the cost oi which was
| betrayed by some person interested in dis
honoring the American party. That is
/ the reason why there is no National
American party this year" II has gone
