is simple in character and profuse in quanti-
ty. 1t consists of banners and everpreens.
Festoons of the latter hang over the stage,
while small thicket of ceIars rises behinl
it aud forms the back ground. Many private
citizens are taking guests to their homes
fIom the hotels. The best judges are Of
opinion that there will be room and accom-
mediation for whatever tlrong may come.
The Liberal Republican force received
very considerable reinforcements to-d>V
from other sections, particularly from The
east. The arrivals from New York. Boston
and other eastern cities, have ben greater
than at any other time and q is noticeable
that there is among this class q decided
sentiment in favor Of t.dams.
David A. wells
is among the ar-rfvals. He thinks a revenue
plank can be introduced into the Platform
that VII meet the appreciation generally of
the gspporters Of the Liberal movement.
Edward Atkinson and the two Endicotts,
Of Boston, have arrived and, with Wells,

York, is also here. Brockmeyer and
Benecke, of the Missouri Legislature, and
Judge Brinkerh0f, of Ohio, have quartered

interview tonight at the Gibson House.
Senator Harlan, Of Iowa, passed through en-
route for Washington to-day.
The Illinois men to-day deny that there
was any disturbance among them yester-
day, though it was quite generally whisper
ed last night that things were not in the
most satisfactory shape. The advance guard
of the New Orleans delegation arrived at
the Gibson House tonight; Gov. War
moth will be here tomorrow. The West
ern Union telegraph wires at the Exposition (
hall have been tested and found in admir- |
able working order. The Associated Press |
