The delegates from Georgia, Alabama,

The Alabama delegation, twenty for Grant,

sentatives have left the city that it would
not be at all surprising if quorum was
lacking this week. In fact last week it was
barely possible to get quorum in the
House on some very i'm ortant votes.
Senators Conkling, Logan, Carpenter. Hoar,
Jones of Nevada, and Others leaders of the
Senate are already away. Prominent Re-

Conger, FRYE, KeifeIc .Butterworth, and
others, have also turned their faces in the
direction Of Chicago.
Other members have gone to their homes
to look after their nominatios s. All who
have gone have made pairs. In some
cases there is reservation that pairs are
not to be respected if vote shall be nee
essary to make a quorum, but in mos
cases pairs are made without reservation
Pairs will be prettyssrigidly respectes
