southern States oppose the repeal OF the TWO
thirds rule and while the delegates seem to
have their preferences as individuals, they all
express the determination to support the man
who will afford the most certain assurance of
success 10 the coming election. Most OF them
are in favor OF the repeal OF the resumption act,
and wish plank inserted in the platform to
thar affect.
The ST. Louis Globe Democrat (radical) con-
tans the following sketches Of some OF the dele.
gates already on the fed and at work
10 point of distiDguc appearance, Hon John
BlgeloW bears the pain. This gentleman is a
favored son of fortune He was appointed
charge d sffaires at Paris By President Lincoln,
and succeeded to the post Of Minister to
beirg in turn relieved by john A. Dix, Mr..
Bigelow returned to the United States. and be-
gan work upon his Life of Frankln." After
the death Of Henry J. Raymond he became
editor Of the New York Times position which
he held for a short time only. His next ap.
pearauce before the public was as member of
the Canal Investigating Board appointed by
Gov. Tlldel. The prominence whish his work
in that capacity gave him led to his nomination
as SECRETARY Of State by the democrats last
year. Up to this time Mr.. BigeloW had been
republican, but in bis extraordinary position
as the head of the democratic ticket his usual
good fortune attended him, and be was elected
s'by large maj"rity" H. is now here to for
ward the interests OF Gov. Tiden, and talks as
gliby a. the oldest of the Bourbons about the
traditions Of the democratic party.
MIR. Bigelow is tall. we'll formed and pre-
possessing. He wears side-w hiskers, and mis-
dark hair is we'll spriukIcd with gray. The
expression about his eyes and mouth, as we'll
as his dress and manners, reminds one some
less of fop and less OF s:hular than Curtis,
and very much more Of a politician. He is
not delegate, and appears as volunteer.
Reverse Bieclow, and you have Johu Kc-
ley. Taumaoy's chief is DO pet OF fortune.
He is man of hard sense and hard work,
and carries hard head set square upou a
short, stout neck. His hair is thick and cut
short, as is his Iul! beard. His appearaoce
is that Of an average railway boss" but his
langu.g, and manner betray ultimate assoca-
Ii III with nubl.c mcn and great events. Ooe
glance al keey's visage IS enough to con-
viuce any onr that 'rilien's chief enemy s a
hard seIf.wiIled, determined and unrelentng
foe.
Augusta, Schell is tall mau with scanry
hair almost white, closely shaven face except
that small .ufs of hair are allowed to remain
10 front OF the ears His manner is rather
suhdued aud his address is not very good.
He looks like German Matchmaker or
p4wobroker You can duplicate him in any
town in the country. Schell and Kelley are
associated 10 the work OF killing Tiideo. and
ale always together. 1t is union of money
and plwrr Scbcll's face represents "sheDt
per sheu.;" K:ey's face is not Interesting;
the eye invcluntary quits the face and
searches for the fist.
Nature built John G. Thompson for SER

might reach the intended place be went into
politics, and succeeded He is a ma0 of iue
! Appearance, medium height, with black hair
and chin wiskers. His head, frame and mao

Gov. DorsheimeG, of New York, is, like
BgcIow, representative of modern democrat
ic desperation and expectancy. He Devcr voted
democratic ticket 10 his life uotil he voted
for himself Tor Lieutenant Governor of New
York. He is the chief representative of the
rilden interest here. Physically, he is the best
mau in the crowd. He is powerfully built but
his great height gives him 6uey proportion
| d frame. He is not unlike General Burnside
in appearance, but has better mouth and
stronger face than the Rhode Island Senator
