occasionally tried to put forward the
claims of their favorite with but little
success, however. Some of the Penn
sylvania delegates mentioned Packer

also supported by some delegates from

feeble show compared with the Pen
dleton men, who had il pretty much
their own way, and almost silcnced OPP

looking man from Tennessee was trying
to convince small company that the
tax on the bonds would reduce the cur
rcncy to the condition of that of the
Southern Confederacy, at the same time
exhibiting a $500 rebel shinplaster, but
with small success apparently. The
bond question was in fact the main sub
icct of discussion. Negro suffrage was
touched upon once, but strongly disap-

The main body hangs out at Masonic
Hall, while q corporal's guard do their
drinking at Lovejoy's Hotel. Iester-
day each hero went off on his own hook
to ''doo the city and suburbs, while
ty of the hall all day. Not few went
to hear Henry Ward Beccher, with the
fervent hope that the eminent divine
would speak under theinspiration ofthe
Democratic Convention and eulogizC
George II. Pendleton. Unaccountably
that Important individual escaped the
memory of Henry Ward Beecher. anC
the heroes of the body-guard had to en-
dure the torture of having their demi
god left severely alone. Some of the
members, of more boyish turn, playeC
hide and seek around the stack Of mat
tresses piled up in their bedroom, while
some turned somersaults with the agili
ty of a circus clown, and others danced
financial hornpipes, George II. break
downs, and PendlctOn reels. The few
sensible leaders who expect to run 70
the Ohio Legislature on the musculaI
Christianity ticket, talked seriousl.

their chief. The fact that Kentucll,
was pledged to hissuppOrt, and that Ten
nessee would vote for him after And,
johnson, was not encouragementen enough
to dissipate the gloom that lay close t.
their hearts. Several stated they would
go home to-day if Pendleton is not nom
mated. This was considered by many tt
be Il confession of weakness either OF
their Pendletonianism or their pockets
A small supply of the ardent laid in OF
Saturday night was quickly consumed
but the consuming thirst of the body
