There was not SO great crowd present at tn
Grand Pacific Hotel yesterday as On prcyiou
days, but still there was great anxiety, and

'Duftng the afternoon the crowd increased, but
the anxiety to hear news was not diminished
There were no universal outbursts Of en-.

Rebel "bu1ly-ragging will change it.

rooms Of the City Campaign Committee were
thronged with the rabble, and tainted with the
scent Of horrible whisky and cigars. This mob

yesterday, Gen. Licb, the County Clerk, calling
to his assistance Justices Hammil and Haines.

elected or not. The Canvassing Board started
