ALBANY, FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1S7G
Tlio National Democratic Convention
assembled in St. Louis qii the 27th in.st.
John a McClernand, of Illinois, was
elected permanent President of tiie Cour
vc-ntion. Fum tl.e telegraphic reports,
the delegates have no idea that they
can place in nomination a ticket having
any show to lieat Hayes and Wheeler,
-and therefore there J no. eutlmsiaMn
manifested.
" The next President, Gov. Ilnyes, of
Ohio, has thrice been elected. Governor
of his ttate, each time runnii. against
the most popular Democrat that could
be found in the State. lie was twice
elected to Congress, where he served
liis constituents well and a.blv. Now i
he is the Republican candidate for the
highest office in the gilt of the people,
and he will certainly, be elected to that
office.
Count one for the women! Old
Connecticut has cut the Gordiau knot
that tied the women down to silence, or
at least tied them so that they could
not vote. The House ot Representa
tives ot Connecticut has passed- a bih
allowing women over twenty-one year
of age and possessing property to th
:unount ot five hultdred dollars, to vot
in'scbool, borough, and town elections
Now will the Senate pass the bill ami
will the Governor sign it ?
A young lady from. this cjty, who at
tended the Cincinnati Convention, write
that there were seven hundred and fifty
five de'egates in attendance, and that
there were about 5,003 spectators pres
entonly those having tickets (other
than delegates)heiiig permitted to en
ter the hall where the Convention was
held. The excitement after. the ballot
ing commenced .vas tremendous. After
the final ballot, and Hayes was declar
ed the choice ot the Convention, the
hall was the scene of the wildest enthu
siasm, delegates and audience joining
in cheers and shoots that entirely drown
e4 the music of the brass bands in at
tendance. It is generally conceded to
bave been the largest and most enthusi
astic Republican Convention that , ever
assembled.
At the outbreak ot the war, Gov.
Haye was appointed Major of the 23d
Ohio Infantry. For bravery and meri
torious service he was severally promo
ted to a Lieutenant Colonelcy, Colonel
cy, Brigadier Genera'cy, and. iu 1S64,
for bravery at Fisher's Hill and Cedar
Creek, he was breveted ;Major General.
As a soldier he was one of the bravest
and mostdaring,winning laurels wherev.
er Le went, j In the spring -of 1865 he
was given command of an . expedition
against Lynchburg, and was preparing
to cross the mountains of West Virgin
ia when the' war was brought U a close.

SAHCEl J. TILDES
On Wednesday, as the telegraph in-
forrqsos, Samuel J. Tilden, ot New
j Yctk, was nominated as the Demo
cratic Presidential candidare, on the
third ballot.. Mr. Tilden is probably
tlie strongest man the Convention could
have nominated out of the Democratic
party.. Immediately after nominating
Mr. 'lilden, the Convention' adjourned
n:ii il ThiTi-wlay, when a candidate for the
Vice Presidency will be nominated.
VV ho this will be remains to 1k seen.
If the telegraphic reports ate to re-
ceive credit, the proceedings of the Con
vention wero decidedly inharmonious,
the majority shown g anything but fair
play to the minority.
The platform is entirely too lenctliv
for our eo'utnus to-day we will try
and give it room in our next. It is
very distasteful toa large number ot the
delegates, who already predict the utter
annihilation of the men put upon it. In
fact it is a kind of ' double entendre.
capable ot almost any construction to
suit the views of the citizens of the difl
'brent sections of this great country.
We are not disappointed in either the
nomination or the platform. No mat
ter who is tacked on to the ticket will
rrden, Hayes and Wheeler will be th.
next President and Vice President of
the United States, just so sure as there
is an election.

Physically, the nest President, Gov.
Hays, is a powerful man. He weighs
ISO to 190 pounds, and, his friends say,
ho can jump any fence he caii place his
hands on He is also a splendid horse
man, a crack shot, and , can swine a
scythe with any Granger of the conn-
try.
Delegates in attendance on the St.
Lous Convention tredicted that it was
the last National Democratic Conven
tion that would ' ever be . held. Well,
to sjieak the unvarnished ' truth, there
was blamed little use ot holding the one
on the 27th.
Tire President has nominated Albert

Just before going to press we learn
that Gov. Hendricks, ot Indiana, is the
nominee of the Louis Convention
for the Vice Presidency. , As between
Hays and Wheeler, awl Tilden and
Hendricks, Oregon will cast her electo
ral vote for the two first named the
Republican nominees.
Our Democratic friends employed the
band and burned some owder, and had
our long.faced Governor on for a speed
i lnst "''-Xht, but with all their efforts the
Democratic heart wouldn't fire there
wan t anything' to enthuse over, and
the "leaders" couldn't make the rank
and rile see it in any other light. T e
Democracy never put in the field a tick
et which they at least the better in
formed of that party looked upon, as
so hop lwS f o'ection as the preseu.
national Democratic ticket.
Seven States will have their electioi
before the presidential vote is cast it
Novemlier. These are Arkansas, Yci-
niont aid Maine in Sep'embtr, ano
Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia aim
Georgia in October. Pennsylvania
winch formerly gave the .key in Oetoliei
no.v holds her state election in Novem
ber. If any one ever doubted the unfitness
of Democracy to rule, the doubt must
have been dispelled bv this time. Si
months' control of the House of Iiepre
sentatives proves Democracy to be little
batter than an imbecile iu the manage
ment of pnb'ic affairs. While the in
dustries of the country are languishing
tor needed legislation, nothing bas been
done to revive them.
A Big Game of Draw. Recently
in Washington, John Chamberlain, Un
well known turfman, and a metnljer o
a great London banking house, quietly
set down to a little game ot "draw."
The game soon became interesting, and
was. prolonged thirty-six hours. Lhau-berla-n
got up from the game winner to
the tune of $140 ,000.
Raise a charge against a -Republican
official and the news will travel from
Maine to California before the ink is
dry. Investigate the charges and find
them 'a'se, and the news of the acquit
tal travels with snail-like pace to d .

done. How true the old snying, 'a he
will travel around the globe while truth
is pulling on its boots."
Prominent delegates to the Demo
cratic C onvention aro already predicting
the defeat ot Tilden and Hendricks.
They predict that New York will give
a rousing Republican majority and we
do not doubt the prediction.

eyes, and is a brunette, while the other
has auburn hair, fair skin and bine eyes.
The two heads can converse on dillerent

well informed and inte'ligent. This is
a most marvelous cast, and it is strange
that nothing has ever been heard of it
before.
A IXiren FImIs.
We give twelve g od points-why the
Uqmiihcaii party shonl.l I preferred
o Democracy. A hundivd eqnal y a
;od could be given :
1. It represents the intc'iigente and
yalty ot the i.atim .
2. it is the champion of free educa
tion, and an advocate of the rights ' o'
ialMr.
3. It preserved the Republic i the
ace ot the greatest rebellion of mod
tii times.
4. It restored through its legiida
iive wisd.m-lhe SouMiem States to
r- all their former rights ai.d privileg
es in the Union. - ,
5. It abolished slavery.
6. It made freedom universal.
7. It settled the vexed San Juan
boniidary question. . , !
8. It obtained 15.000,000 from
England, and se ttled amieab v the Ala
bama depredation question.
9. It gave to the nation a good na
tional hacking system.
10. It has paid nearly $600,000,000
'fthts. national debt ,
11. It built the Pacific railroad.
12. ' It has opened a pr fitable com
merce with Eastern nations through fa
vorable treaties.
