10 O'Clock az night at which there are NOT single
ladies' both young and old. either in the parlor or
on the yeranda. They are constantly on the look-
out Tor the President, but more than half their
number never caught glimpse Of him until

from this village and neikhboring cities

"When Clint Wheeler went out" said one man.
"he always looked after all who went with him
and made them feel comfortable for the start but
the PreSi lent is so used TO attention that he looks
upon the utmost we can do for him as no more

But with all the Others who have seen the Presf-
dent day after day he has come TO be looked upon
as the most polished, digni1ed, and handsome of
citizens, and there is just a chance that II he Is
nominated for second term there might be an
extra dozen or republican votes cast In this hot
bed OF JackSonian democrats He goes by the reg

thence TO Utica. From there he Will take the night
