CINCINNATI, June 13.-The oauousing and
~roselyt,ng, which was kept up to late hour
i..t nlsht. was resumed this morning bright and
.,riv. The m ost IMPOSING display was made by
,hs friends Of Roscoe Conklins from New YORK.
They have four spacious parors for their PUBIC
r,cantion. at the Grand Hotel, aud half dozen
smaller parlors ON the same floor for private con-
,rl,a,lon, with their friends and supporters
,ro,, other States. In addition to this, they
h.vs invaded the Gibson House, whore the Re-
,o,,, Ciub OF New ork city have their headquar-

IA covered with the fags, banner, bunting, ana
r,ottoes Of tho Conkiing men. WIN ther orass
n.na and vrhite and blue silk banners the Conk-
rfus clubs are the feature OF the show. They
make tho gr tnd rounds OF all the hotels two or
fhree times day, and eivo as many more con-
,,rt, in tho SD lclous lobby Of the Grand Hotel.
II Is conceded that the men who are here urging
the claims "of the noble statesman from Oneida"
are the host dressed the best looking, and the

They have conducted their canvass in that high
toned and courteous manner which so well
eOmports with the character OF their candidate.
There has not been ono unseemly act, and not
IN unbecoming word from them In disparase-
msnt OF rival aspirants for the Presidential
honor.
Their nrst act after their arrival here was to
ssrenade the Morton people, and although God
love g. Orth. who responded on behalf OF 1n-
diana, was so uncourteous as to say a good
word for their man, Mr.. butcher, In his reply,
did not even make an allusion to the pride OF
