Republicans" Had 1t not been for the great
kindness Of "minc host" Of the Bates House,
who managed to Gnd place to "hide u.s. our
chances to swatch for the morning." would |
have bcen decidedly promising. This Convcn-
tian has satisfied oil pariics that the Nutional |
Republican Committee acted wisely in selecting !
the larger city Of Chicago for the Convention |
in June next.

vaszing and caucusing in The halls Of the Bates !!

friendly spirit with which, it was carried on af-
| iordcd mes. cheering evidence Of tie unity of
the party aud the success that is sure to attend
/ it. as this was Mass Convention, some fears
we're eutertalued that it might be unwieldy aud

ersy, tact, courtesy, and thorough knoHledge Of
