CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DAILY AppEAL
WARRINGTON, d. c., June 10. 1875.

The building in which the body was
honsed for it's deliberations is an i'm
mepse structure, capable of seating.
with comfort, not less than five thous-
and people. All the seats were chairs
and every chair was numbered. The
various departments were divided into
sections. Nobody, not even delegates
or members Of the National Committee,
was admitted without . ticket. This
ticket told the holder where he might sit
and he must sit there aud nowhere else.
The delegates were fenced off from the
al.ernates, the alternates from the peo-
pie and the people from the distinguish
Ell guests. The National Committee
issued tickets to the chairmen Of dele
cations, and the chairmen to the dele
gates, the alterna;es and their friends.
There WAS o brass band of forty
pieces, more or less, that occupied the
gallery opposite the Presidents plat
form. 1t was engaged in doing an
operate piece when We took our seats
the first day. Then they played
America" very 1nagniicently. Then
followed what has been reported in the
papers and press kilograms, and which I
shall not attempt to repeat.
Among the delegates and lockers on
were many noted men. Among the
New Workers were Theodore NJ. Pom
eroy, man OF first rate ability. He was
chosen temporary Chairman. His ad-
dress, which has reached you, was a
splendid effort, full of fine, grand ideas
and the true tone for the hour. Here
also was George William Curtis Of Har-
per's Weekly, VIM. Ortou. President of
the Western Union Telegraph Company
(who looks nightly like Deacon Rice) :,
A. Is. Cornell. very likely man for the
next Republican Gubernatorial caudi-
dacy in New York: Stewart L. Woodford,
and others. Among the notable men of
Pennsylvania were Dan Cameron, Sec
rotary of War. Congressman Cessna and
Secretary of State Hon. N. S. Quarry.
Maine had among her delegates John B.
Brown. the great merchant, by the burn
ing of whose immense warehouses on
the Fourth Of July. 1866, the city of
Portland was swept by its greatest con-
fagration; Hon. Eugene Hale, and
Frye. the brilliant representative from
the Lewiston district. In the Massachu-
sets delegation sat James Russell Low
ell, the poet and scholar. and in front Of
him was Richard II. Dana. As con-
spicuous a figure as any was Hon. Luke
Poland, United States Senator from
Vermont. Lieutenant Governor Van
Zandt of Rhode Island was one of the
most prominent men upon the floor. He
is possessed of voice which, am sure,
considering the dimensions of Little
Rhody), must be heard far into the adj
joining States Of Connecticut and Massa-
chusstts when he lets it out in full VOL
ume. 1 am willing to back him against
Fog thorn Allen or any other man. In
diana was ably represented. Will Cum
back, one of the livest men from the
live West; Col. Dick Thompson. vet
cram politician of the old Wing school;
Second Assistant Postmater General
Tyner, and General Tyrell. were con-
spicuous and active among these
Hoosiers. Bob Ingersoll Of Illinois was
the central figure not only among the
Suckers but on the floor of the Conven-
ton. He has been quite fully described
by the busy gossips of the press. He is
in all respects entitled to his reputation
of the "besr speaker in the West" Sen
ator John A. Logan, black and Indian
like, was conspicuous figure upon the
platform where sat the distinguished
guests. Harland of Kentucky, with his
fine, large, manly presence; Ramsey OF
Minnesota, grey, round and full of
Winning 0eAItlucb6 VI MduuSl, ANOJCS VI
Ohio, black whiskered and vehement.
the champion of the Hayes interest;
the white haired politician and veteran,
William A. Howard of Michigan, who
turned the tide for Hayes; and black
Bruce of Mississippi, who acted as
chairman of his delegation and an
nounoed its votos-these were figures
which one, in a leisure moment. was
tempted to make note of.
I pick up the Washington Star of this
evening and find the following COM
ments:
The defeat of Blaine at Cincinnati is
quite generally attributed to the blunder-
ing of the Blaine men in the Pennsyl-
vania delegation. They were outgen-
sraled by the CamerOnians, who, by
getting some scattering complimentary
votes from Nevada, Georgia and else
where for Hartranft, held the Blaine
men in the delegation up to voting for
Hartranft until Blains's forces and the
fence men began to scatter. Had the
thirty Blaine men in the delegation car
