The reason assigned why delegates from

10 the Chicago Convention is, thit the Re-

chance OF success in any of these States.
Apply the same logic to the Charleston
Convention, and how stands the case with

In this district--the strongest democratic

ELKeANcE IN DREss.-In everything a
multiplicity of colors is an evidence of bad
taste. The toilette does not consist so much
in the clothes, as in certain way of wearing
them. Thus every fashion, the aim of which
is falsehood, is essentially feeting and in
bad taste, as also is everything which is noisy
and loud. Ifpeople stare at you attentively,
You are not well dressed; you are too well,
too stifly, or too carefully dressed. We do
