The GAMBLERS IN CONVENTIONAL ex-
change gives the following account of con-
vention held at Chicago:
"Astrapge convention was held at Chicago
recently. 1t was that Of the gamblers of the
United States, in which every State was rep
resented. Although a gathering Of hard
cases, morally the appearance of the dele
gates is described as having been highly res
pectable The Chicago Democrat said of
them: "A finer looking set of men we have
never seen than they are, taken upon the av-
erage. They are all fat and well, very we'll
dressed, with jewelry in abundance; and some
of them are said to be what their looks indi
cate, men Of talents. F"
"Two important matters came up before the
convention. One was the revision OF the old
rules and the adoption of new ones for various
games 1t was found that these rules were
construed different in different States; that
several lives had been lost in broils arising from
this difference in their Interpretation. Uni
formity of construction was demanded by all
the delegates. The other subject of discussion
was the non.interference of professional gamb-
lers in politics, which led to very warm de-
bate, and vas finally laid upon the table"
