still hold their protracted meetings for the purpose
OF converting nominations into appointments, but
they make very slow work OF 1t at the best The
last meeting, it is said developed the fact that Mr.
Tracy, who was recently nominated for Supervisor
TN New York. is entirely too radical to make good
supervisor, SO we may regard his case as settled
Mr.. Noah, Of Tennessee, is here with his friends,
feeling around for the nomination Of supervisor for
the district which includes that State. There is no
near prospect of nearing that another Supervisor
has been confirmed.

satisfactory. In the United States Treasurers office
there was contributed to-day $3.50, Of which the re-
doubtable Spinner contributed 5000. IL may not be
amiss to add that this sum was raised among the
male clerks the ladies not deeming themselves in
cluded in the invitation.
