manifestation of disapprobatisn; but there ap
peared to be an evident suspension OF feeling rea

The breathless suspense was soon broken, for in a
subsequent resolution in which the Union ticket
was recognized the surest means of carrying the
State of Pennsylvania against the Democratic
candidates, the most deafening noise ensued with
Kisses and groans.
The reading was finally concluded, when Mr.
Du,ton moved that the resolutions be taken up
separately, or in sections. Voices" No, take

to amend the resolutions proposed by substituting
those in favor of the Fusion Electoral Ticket
adopted at the meeting held in the hall on Satur-
day evening. This was followed by cries of yes

for Mr. Lloyd"
The President then put the question on the mo-

He was greeted with hisses and cries of 'traior!"

signs of intended personal violence. He was soon
surrounded and SO clearly significant were the de-
moustrations of personal outrage, that by the sd
vice OF friends, be quilted the stand he rear of

At this point of time the gas lights in the body
OF the hall were partially extngushed, aud total
darkness, confusion worse confounded, with
