Of all the places to buy Dry Good The House of Messrs. W. B. Hall & Co.,, which is the leading Dry Goods House of Bridgeport seems to be the most advantageous. This firm commenced business in the fall of 1878,
 when merchandise was at the lowest point, and they have purchased all of their stock at the old prices, and all through the so-called boom they kept down their prices, and they are doing the leading trade in Bridgeport
 Their last operation was to purchase a large portion of the Silks and Laces that was saved from the stock of Simpson Crawford & Simp- son, of Sixth Avenue; New York, and they have had continuous rush throughout the season, when in Bridgeport. Visit them.

The Springfield Republican makes the fol- lowing estimate of the Grant prospects at Chic rgo:
 About 278 for Grant to 229 for Blaine, S9 fer Sherman, 40 for Edmunds and IA for Wash burne is how the canvass stands at present Grant thus falls short of a majority of those already chosen he has got to gain more than 100 of the remaining 106 delegates to be cho- sen. It is highly improbable that he will cover so many votes, or that he will get 6 ma jority of them, If he fall short from 25 votes upward be will fail of the nomination. A smaller margin would be very risky. An Grants chances wane, Rlaipe's rise and he is still probably the greatest danger.
 How many delegates win take Blaine as second choice Not the hundred more he needs for nomination, we guess.

PARE ORG ANIZATIoS.-There has been
a very general expression OF opinion that
that the plan OF party organic itien ought
10 receive some attention at the hands Of
the approaching convention. Heretofore
the conventions have declined 20 take
definite action on the subject. There Is al.
WAYS 4 disposition among the delegates tn
get through with the nominations a. soon
a possible and then 20 home. and thus
party organization has heretofore been left
In statu quo. Among the suggestions we
find IN our exchanges are some
relating to the number of delegates.
to the matter OF proxies, 10 the cailiag Of
county conventions and the appoint ment
OF committees. 1t would DC better, Doubt
less. 10 limit the number OF delegates 10 he
appointed from every county. because we
have no ball which can conveniently seat
more than 500 persons. Some counties
send fifty delegates, and Others more. tt ere
are a.out Loo townships IN the State.
Some counties appoint three delegates from
each township, whereas the State conven
ton does not and cannot recognize town
ship delegates as such, but treas them as
representatives Of the entire county. one
man IS frequently appointed the proxy OF
several counties, which some Of the papers
object TO. Uniformity : not observed in
holding county meetings, aud the rights of
delegates are by no means clearly under
stood. because they never have been author
tatlvely announced 10y any convention, the
only body that has the right to prescribe
rules IN the matter. 1t is hoped that these
subjects may receive attention at this time.
There ought TO be "A committee specially APP
