SKETCHES OF LEADING DELEGATES
| The hotel corridors are full tonight, and
representative men are met in every arch-
| way. Senator Wallace is OF the canny
Scot, and shows his lineage IN his face

na.ured face and a handsome, blue eye,

and the Times printed the first pro-

Major Ben Perley Poore, the veteran jour
nalst, waddles like duck. He is a great
1 relic.hunter, particularly OF the aboriginal
Indians. He tells a good story, enjoys a
good drink, and can give more personal
reminisce noes OF public men than any man
| living. Ben Hill, of Georgia. looks like
a Methodist itinerant. His head is always
bowed. AID when he walks the streets one
would think he was on the lookout for a

face. not over pleasing, but has a deep
J blue eve and in conversation is exceed
ingIy affable. Senator Joseph E.. Brown,
| his colleague, of Georgia, sauntered ABOUT
the halls in the Burnett House in his qul-
ct way ard was more observed than any
| other man in the house. His long white
| beard gives finishing touch to his clear
cut, positive features.
THE MAN IN THE ALPACA COAT
Senator Joseph E. Mcdonald, of Indi-
ana, the man who is naturally affable with
every one without losing any of his ligni-
ty, is marked by the villainous cut t)f his
black alpaca coat. There IS an in duce-
ment for Mcdonald which is not dis pleas
ing to western men. Frank Landers, Dem
ncratic candidate for Governor of IRdi-
ana, displays his singular form in meat
suit of dark-blue broadcl It'll, the whole
pile surmounted by a neatiy-brushed SILK
hat. He has no lightning-rod and seems
to have dark-horse hopes. Governor Nc
Emery, of Louisiana, is gentleman OF
perhaps fifty, tall and well proportioned,
Standing nearly six feet and weighing
probably 1865 to IT'S pounds. HIS beard,
worn upon the chin and upper lip, Is gray.
with sandy tinge, hair mixed with gray,
complexion Light and eyes dark and keen.
In bearing aud conversation he is easy and
agreeable, with marked absence of the
southern accent peculiar to the region
which ne represents. General Joe Wheel
er, OF Alabama, well known to the coun-
try in his fame as dashlng cavalry leader
during the late war, is small, well pro-
toned man of perhaps forly-6ve or fifty
years, with - full dark beard, well mixed
with gray, d ark hair and eyes, small hand
and foot. and pleasant and approachable.
He dresses in a quiet but tasteful manner
in gray coat aud dark pants and vest. He
is an easy, pleasant talker, and has q hap
by faculty of making those whom he meets
comfortable in his presence, ar. Waiter
son. who for some ineXplicabie reason Was
until recently thought to be Tilden's I'M
mediate representative, is short and small
He dresses neatly and walks briskly. He
appears disconsolate and sad, but whether
lie has faith in Tilden yet or not, is a Co
nundrum with those who care to know. Il
is very certain that he was nos chosen tc
bear the letter of declluation, and he knew
no more about it than q dozen others.
