CHICAGO, September 14.-Although great
DreparatiOns are made to insure a success
i'm Indianapolis, where the Republican clubs
meet tomorrow, the news from Maine
created such CONSERVATION in the hearts OF
the Republican managers here that it was
deemed wise to call consultation in the
western headquarters OF the National Com

picture OF despair. Cigar after cigar disap-
peared in smoke, and when ! ventured to
ask what he thought he mildly smiled, I'M
coilcd himself. aud said:
