combined with useful occupation, aud
a lively interest in the welfare of 9TH

the affections warm. Though gone

ticket in opposition to Garfield, which
created great CONSERVATION i'll the
ranks OF the faithful aud there was a
terrible rushing to and fro about the

out and one of the public 1reservoirs,
near Citizens Hsll, where the caucus
was in session, was exhausted before
the thing had sufficiently cooled off to
determine the result. The count
showed that the ring delegates had
