On the floor are negroes ofall shades
of blackness, surely proper persons tC
sit in a republican convention. They
range all the way from the burly ex.
field hand TO the dapper mulatto. The
most intelligent ofthem in appearance
is Senator Bruce, a handsome, broad
shouldered mulatto, sitting with the
Mississippi delegation. He smiles
now and then a bright southern smile,
as if his vice presidential fever had
not proved serious.
The man with a huge ugly body,
popularity supposed to be seven feet
long, and an ugly face, who is sitting
by the side of General Logan, is the
Long John Wentworth.
William K. Chandler is standing in
the aisle. From his dress and appear.
ance you might infer that he was a
college tutor. From his quick, abrupt,
decisive talk you would suppose that
he was a stock broker.
That mar over in the New York
delegation, who looks like nothing Sc
much as a bulldog, with q mustache,
is-wel, it would be wiser, perhaps,
not to mention the name.
Powell Clayton, of Arkansas, with
his one arm, and long dropping mus
tache, and a face that impresses you
with an idea Of the mans cool daring
and southwestern nerve, is rather an
interesting figure. General Kilpat-
rick is another man to he known BY
his long m~ustache, which have waved
in the wind Of cavalry charges. Ex-
Governor Warmoth, of Louisiana,
looks az he has always looked, since
he was old enough to be in politics,
like a tall, straight young man OIL
of thirty-two or three, with more OIL
the marks of commercial than of po-
%litical life about him.
Ghe slender man looking like Q
handsome boy with gray hair is Rich
ard @. Mccormick, of Arizona.
The short, %square-built delegate
from Michigan, with a tightly-shut
ting mouth and silvered beard, is
james +. Joy, who is to be one of the
Blaine orators when the convention
gets at the work Of nominating +,
president.
The bald headed, sturdy little mai
with a close brown beard, in the Hi
nois group, is General Green B. Raum
whom Senator Logan put into the
chair at Springfield to pound ou
forty.two delegates for Grant, ant
who did it.
Just on the other side of the aisl,
is the Maine delegation, at the heat
of which sits Eugene Hale, a com
pactly built man, rather under thI
medium size, of quiet and refined ap
~pearance, with a New England fac,
and a New England voice. Congress
man Frye, another conspicuous Main,
man, shows his moderate statute o.
the platform, He has a pleasant, cor
dial face. No one who remembers tn
broken voice in which he moved a
Cincinnati to make the nomination o
President Hayes unanimous, cal
doubt that the man from Maine hal
his whole heart in the fight 70
Blaine. The tall, slender man dress
ed in the continental black, which i
the typical attire alike of the politi
clan and the clergyman, with a sombr
face and his mouth shut nervousl
under his heavy tawny mustache VIII
moves forward to the chairman's desI
and lets the gayel fall so that the vas
audience quickly settles into silence
is Senator Don Cameron, of Peunsyl
vania.
