Pulaski was never before honored
by the presence of so many repre-
sentative men as are delegates to
the Con gressional Convention now
sitting at Antoinette Hall. The in
terest is livelier, if possible, than
ever before, and speculation has
been the only means by which the
excited throng could work of the
inerdinate and intangible forebod
ings that each man experiences
when he contemplates the chances
Of his candidate. No bets are ven
tured, as far as we know, for it
seems that each delegate realizes
the truth OF the saying that there is
nothing so certainly uncertain as
uncertainty itself. Figures are made
on all sides, and every mans pocket
is full Of old envelopes with the
chances of this or that candidate
summed up on the back of it-and
the delegates dream figures and
hope figures and talk figures, and fl
nally winds up his cogitations and
gestations ana prognosti. atoms in
the language OF the sweet singer of
the Northwest. "we can't always
sometimes tell" Some are entan-
gled in inextricable Bonds, some
are even Moore entangled, and some
don't care a Whit. which way the
cat jumps so it jumps their way.
Below we give the delegates as
far as we could gather them;
