but little less majority than that OF Converse In

Coalitions were erected In several Of the

notably the case in Rutland ana Burlington, both
OF which give an increased republican majority on

at three O'Clock r. M. to-day. An organization
was effected after some trouble and amid much
confusion. The Committee on Credentials was

OF the eastern and western parts OF the State are
divided against each other, and much bad feeling
is exhibited. A petition was presented, signed by
Governor Furnas and other leading republica ns
requesting the Convention TO take an ad-

They were powerless for few minutes

could easily do to escape from the flames. The
fire eaped into view redundant with life and

as far away from the contiguous vessels

were cut aud IN few minutes the burning boat
had swung around, so that the fire was
some thirty or forty feet from the wharf The
flames did not extend further forward than mid
