The delegation from the District
of Columbia, at St. Louis, is composed
of an Irishman and Negro. No
chairman of the delegation can be
elected for neither will vote for the
other, and Columbia is out in the cold
at St. Louis. Good enoagh for her.
She hos no business in that convention.
The IrIshman should go Out, or if be
don't he ought to be kicked out.
Let the Niger have it all his own
way. 1t is no place for an Irishman,
nor Columbia.

The most distinguished character
in the convention was Judge Robert
Wright, of our town, a veteran DEM
ocrat in the S7th year of his age, and
the only survivor in our county and
in the district who voted for Andrew
Jackson. The grand old man occu-
pied front seat and at every men,
ton of promised democratic sue
cess cheered as enthusiastically as
the youngest, warm blooded boy in
the hall.
Sol Bader of Fairfield and Scott
Moore of Perry were the Nestors of
their delegations, Democrats who have
been voting for Jackson, his princi-
pies, for the past forty years.
Seven postmasters from Perry We're
in the convention, and all were Dem
ocrats and all were for the ticket
nominated.
Ed Wetzler of the Lancaster Ea-
gle was present, and reported the con-
vention for bis paper, and kept his
admiring eye fised upon the charm
ing ladies in the gallery. If his re-
port is cross eyed or not complete,
this will explain tie why of tie
wherefore.
