night, Saturday, 1t had exhausted itself
physically and exhausted tho patience Of Its
vast auditory. It had occupied four days In
performing tho work Of two. AS Its 11'en-
bers poured out OF the hall, perspirtng with
tho heat md depressed by tho stor,n-laden
atmosphere, they mingled with 10, 900 retiring
spectators to hear nothing but disparagtng
reuarks Everybody was out OF temper, or
rather In high temper, IN u temper, a
faultflndInx temper. Dut 1t was through
tho audiences which packed Exposition Hail
last week ut every session that time was
wasted. From the start tho Grant managers
adopted tho Fabian policy. They secured
every delay possible to the tricks Of debate:
md when these tricks were on tho point OF
being exhausted the audience came to tho
support OF Afessrs. Conkling and Logan by
converting Itself Into d mob ofhowlers. q.
Thua, by calling the public to thotr assist
ance- tho thirtl.termers gained moro than
llalf Ut two long evening sessions. In this
wasted time score, at least, Of ballotsnltght

case was desperate, md In desperate cases
tho most desperate remedies arc resorted to.
Tho Grant managers had everything to gain
nnd nothing to loss. Hence they appealed to
| the audience to come to their ntd With q
! noise: and tho noise was equivalent to q
postponcment over Sunday
What might not happen In the interim
| Their bosoms swe1led with tho hope which
inspires desperate mon engaged In desperate
enterprises, ind thls hope WIS reflected IN
the sullep faces Of tho Grant Democrats and
Republicans who clbowcd and showed them
selves through the vast crowd hastlng out
OF tho audience portion OF tho g1cat an'plt!'
theatre at the close Of tile session which
brought tho Convention face to face with the
real business 1t was convened to perform.
But tho anti-third-term men, members and
non-men1bers OF the Convention, wcro pcne-
trnted with feeling OF profound fntligna-
tlon. They had been tritled with. They felt
that tho great Interests OF tho Republican
party had been trllcd witt. by the managers
of the Grant faction. They felt that the purity
