The vicinity OF the Chamber was the scene OF con-
siderable excitement and much discussion immc-
diately after the adjournment Of the Convention.

The shibboleths OF parry were heard every

through hotel with the stride OF an army
on the march. Barroons ros0unded with eo-

winter; anthracite ana hickory would be better
perhaps, for political excitement than 'gln sours"

This excitement almost led to amentable acts Of

healthy exhibition OF popular energy. Jefferson

and the seeming interest OF the delegates and their
many social friends may be kept up to the proper
tone by this idea. TO Keep cool and discuss ques
tons calmly and never quarrel and never bet and
behave in an exemplary manner has not entered the
cranums of these men. Blu. human nature will be

may not be worth while to moan over their inciden-

"NO Pm id II do, put let's drinkn; and the
bearded leader OF this group led the way TO the bar

''olr OF EVIL CONFETTI GOOD"
striking illustration OF this truth was manifest
in the feeling OF the New Hampshire delegation late

just the cheese, but at that time Chase had many
champions. Said promlnet man OF this throng, as

VERMONT DELEGATION.
These members were quiet last evening, their
rooms being vacant Yet from an alternate 1T was
evident that the same apathy In regard TO their non
conntta feeling still continues. Some prefer Pen
dleton while others like Chase, while Hancock has
friends Vermont will keep stepr with wha. their
leading brethren do. Vermont is "mxed."
