HOTEL ExroRTIoN AT CINc1NNArI.-The
Rochester Union, whose editor was at Gin
cinnati during the Convention, speaks Of
the general dissatisfaction felt by the dele
gates at the cxtortionate prices charged at
the Burnet House. The Union says:
We hear of gentlemen being charged SIS a
day for board-though even at that price
they could not get single rooms. Bills were
made out in the gross--and the sums were
stated in round numbers. One of the dele
cations from New England paid some $3.50
for small room for their conferences. The
Hard delegation paid $3.50 for theirs. And
the Softs paid $S05 for room rent alone In
one of the two rooms occupied by the latter
were several beds, in which the delegates
slept. But their board was probably the
same as if their room rent was not already
paid. Other delegations had corresponding
bills to settle but we doubt whether any
other state suffered SO much as New York.
