The National Republican Conven-l
tion has done glorious work to-day,
and the spirit of the Convention and
result of their deliberations has inspir-
ed Republicans with unextinguishable |
enthusiasm and confidence, and filed
the Democrats and Greeley Republi-
cans with dire dismay. When the
Convention met at ten O'Clock this
morning, all the available space in the
vast Academy, which seats 4 900 per-
sons, was occupied, the auditorium !
with delegates and the galleries with |
spectators, and in such q multitude of
spectators it was to be expected that
there would be many attracted by Gu
rioeity merely, having no sympathy
with the Republican party, but when
Grants name was presented not only
the delegates, but a large number OIL
the spectators in the galleries joined inl
shouts with which the honOred name
was greeted. The band struck up Hail
to the Chief" and at the same moment
an immense canvas rose at the back of
the stage, presenting splendid paint
ing Of Gen. Grant on hOrseb<nk. As
the picture rose to view the whole Con-
vention started to their feet and
igreeted the portrait with deafening
shouts, to which were added enthusi-
Iastic responses from the galleries.
