Later on the afternoon l met Col Taylor
himself, and he, in the course OF few
minutes conversation, voiced nearly the
opinion of Col Anderson. He also said
that he felt quite hopeful OF the result:
His friends were working we'll for him, and
he thought that successive ballots would
demonstrate his latent strength. Speaking
of the attempt of Updegratf, through
Ross Anderson to divide and split up the
delegation from Guernsey, Col. Taylor said:
"If DIR. Updegraff can get himself nomin.
ated by turning out our delegates and then
get himself elected without our 5000 votes

Taylor's competitor from Guernsey county,
was sighted holding communion with Col.
Poorman on the court house steps. Mr..
Anderson was one of the most melancholy
looking individuals that we encountered.
He is candidate for Congress and his
claims are pretty good. He was soldier
q good one, too, it is said, during the late
war, and has since practiced his profession
in Guernsey county with varying success
but he, like Col. Poorman, is poor, and
stand less chance than even the Col. for q
nomination. He is here to come before the
convention in the shape OF a contestant, re-
or in other words, the power OF the conven-
ton to throw out the Taylor delegates in
sufficient numbers to give him (Anderson)
II of them. This move is very doubtful,
and unless it is bright about, Anderson
will have to get into he convention by
ticket.
Col. PoOrman.
Col. Poorman came up in the forenoon
and took rooms at the National Hotel. He
is not exactly cheerful, but somewhat puz'
zled. He regards the knotty problem OF
nomination with>much solicitude, and his
lightning rod has reached an altitude it has
not had even in his own opinion since the
Belmont county primaries. He expressed
himself to the REGISTER as very hopeful,
but was not at all confident of success He

factor at the inception of business to-day,
but he thinks that when matters become
involved, and delegates begin to be dis.

him, 'come over and help us" This is not
the Colonel's language verbatim, but it is
a pretty good duplicate of some OF his
ideas.
