waiting upon the candidates, with view to finding
out which of them is willing to pay the most for
nomination. Moses seems to have no means at COM
mand and Chamberlain is in about the same situation,
but there is a general impression among impecunious
delegates that Senator Patterson, and other friends
of the latter, will foot his bills If neces-
sary. Mr. Chamberlain says. however, that
he will spend nothing, and wishes MOTH
ing spent in his behalf. He declares that
he will go before the Convention on his own merits
Gov. Moses saws that he is satisfied that he Is the
strongest man before the Convention to-day and
asks nothing more than vindicaton OF his admin

candidate and Judge Green, Hardy, Solomon and
Cunningham are thus named

No Danger from ExpIosion-NO liability
10 get out of Order.

In short it is the SIMPLEST, SAFEST, most
DURABLE and most ECONOMICAL. Engine in
the world We fully guarantee them in all the above
particulars COLTS ARMS CO. have spared no
expense in getting up SPECIAL TOOLS AND MA
CHIMES with which to build these Engines, SO that
every part is made up to gauge and perfectly in
Interchangeable, the importance of which will be un
ierstood by all who at all familiar with machin-
cry. Thus, every Engine of given size is exact
duplicate of every other of that size, and
OF breakage, the broken part be Immediately re-
placed by its perfect duplicate.
The inventor Of this Engine had in view, in its
construction, the great need that exists for perfect
Steam Engine-of small power-adapted to all kinds
OF light mechanical work, and that should also
hne all that is good in Steam Engineering.
The first point was, to secure perfectly pAilo-
sophical Boiler and Furnace in order to insure the
most perfect combustion, and to take up the greatest
possidte amount of heat in generating steam.
The second point was, to make perfect cutoff
Engine, working steam expansively, and keeping up
the temperature OF the cylinder to prevent loss by
radiation or condensation.
The third point was. to combine and make the
whole mechanically and scientifically correct ma
chine; all its parts being provided with means to
take up lost motion, that it may be used for any
num1er of years, and always run smoothly. In all
these particulars as much has been taken as in
the largest and most perfect engine constructed.
The result is-THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF POWER
PRoPoRTIoNED TO THE AMOUNT OF FUEL CON-
sUMED-thus proving the fact-well known to men
OF scence-th0t scater is the best medium to trans
init the mechanical forces, generated in the COM
6astion Of fuel, to the production of NOTICE poaCer.
