An cathuslasm prevalled foru long time unknown in this Democratic district. Two years since Jess than 100 were in attendance, but to<lay full delegatious from h county were ju attendance, and many rep- sentative men of the party wero present. In addition there wae a large nuinber of citizens who usually care Jittle about politics, and rarcly atteud conventions, Frobably 1,200 pursons wero present.

Converse to sccure the numination by the Democratle Conven- ton, ltc ssseried that the nomination waa bought aml paid for, and that hestood ready 1o prove his words; that they were facts, and courd not be disproved. Jlo atated that the delegaten who came to the Democratic Con- veution from Madison, Fayette, Delaware, and Prekaway Counties had no voice In the Conven- tion whatever; that they were ridden aver, and even given to understand that Mr. Conversu would ba nominated whether they lked it or not, Jie claimed that the ward-bummers, blood-auckers, pimps, mamblers, and thieves were hired snd paid for the work they did. Addresstug_ the Conventlun, be sald: ¥ Gen- tiemen, can yprove by a Demo- cratie paper that the party In this city Is governed by the class of peoplo re- ferred to, aud no man who I8 too poor or tun hounest to buy a nomination could secure one.” He then proceeded to read a leading editorlal writteu by 8 Democratic editor, giving ficures aud the amount nowninations were considertd to be worth, e then continued at considerabls feugth in his review of Mr. Converse's past his- tory, and in the most delitierate way atated that, it uecesrary, he woukl be uble to prove before any Democratic Jury fn this district thut George L. ~ Converse eccured his nomination by the uss of money.
