The city is fast tilling op with slrau

In Ibis connection it may be stated
tbit one of the most ab.e, useful and
influential members of the present Con¬

Following the M<ss<sippi River Con¬

of the delegates to the r>ver conven¬

that in that city was nominated Sam¬

commission, and that they are entitled
to tiie honor of having the convention
which is to nonruaro a President who
will not only be elected but inaugura¬

the finest convention hall in the count¬
ry, ample hotel accommodations, and
tbe most hospitable people in tbe

iuciiueu to eudorse all they say and
claim.

Q^en. Butler and hie minions have
been in Washington tot a couple of
weeks past trying to lead Democrats
into the idea that it would be wire at
proper ti ae to bring forward the hero
of Great Bethel, Foit Fisher, aud Tew¬
ksbury as the Democratic candidate for
the Presidency. The leading members
of the party, however, have about as
much confidence in Butler* reliability
as a Democrat, as tbe old deacon bad
faith in his clock as a true time-piece,
which would, with the hands pointing
to ten minutes to ten, strike seven at
thirteen minutes p u gt five.
