leaders. held In this city yesterday, was
one Of the most emphatic proofs ever

In Q Presidential canvass. In this
respect II was hardly inferior to Q Ma
tional Convention, for the foremost men
of o party are usually present In Q
National Convention only as candidates.
not as delegates /; whereas this notable
gathering OF Republicans included ct
least two Of tho most conspicuous can
didates before the Chicago Convention.
The u%ndisputsd leaders OF the body
were Blaine, Sherman and Logan, all OF
whom made most admirable impressions
by their addresses and general bearing.
Blaine made an ugly hole In Hancock's
armor when he pointed to the fact that
the Democratic candidate was the only
great soldier he had ever heard Of who
seemed to be ashamed OF his success In
war, as his recent letter OF acceptance
showed. Though without intending 1t,
Blains's words will make Hancock's ears

did impression upon oil who have met
him OF manliness, sincerity. directnsss,

Utah has purchased $500 feet Of finch

will be an economical move In more
ways than one. since the water will only
thsn be raised to the Sutro' tunnel level;
in fact will DO above that level when 1t
leaves the mine through the pipe and
will need no more pumping. 1t will.
however, be rough on the little ranches
