How 1T OPrRATEs.--Mobs sometimes do
good 10 way that their ge,ters up little
dream of. A Baltimore correspondent OF
the Boston Advertiser writes.
Last week the Republican party of this
State met in Convention in this citv, but
she deliberations Of the Convention were
broken up by a mob. No resistance was Of
fered, no appeals was made to the proper
authorities for protec ction, but the Conven.
tion re-assembled secretly, and chose dele
gates to attend the Chicago Convention
1t was wise policy to do so. But It was
not wise policy for the mob to do what II
did. Now for the result Of the mobbing.-
Hundreds of new names have been added to
the Baltimore Republican rAssociation. A
wealthy dry goods dealer, ono of tho richest
men in the city, am informed upon good
authority, went voluntarily before the As
socia,ion, and said "Put down my name, and
when you wan, money call upon me-" A
wealthy banker did likewise, and daily 9TH
ers are following the example. Said my
informant, "The mobbing will give us five
undred votes for the Chicago nominee in
this city.
