The Scenes About the Headquarters at the
Palmer House.
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE scenes Of activity about
the Palmer House, which is at present the great
national political center, were renewed early
this morning BY o'clock the main corridors
Of the hotel and the thoroughfares leading up to
it were filed with great masses of people which.
by their very numbers, made the progress Of ca
ble-cars and carriages very slow, and at times
well nigh impossible. In the dining rooms and
cafes in the vicinity there was an army of men,
hats in hand, waiting. their turn for seats at tho
breakfast tables. In fact. the crush had become
so great as to make comfort matter of only
faint possibility, and the discomfort has been
greatly increased by the fact that the headquar-
ters of the party have been centralized. instead
os being divided and scattered, as was the case
with the Republican national convention Still,
the crowds to be accommodated are much great
er than at the first convention, due largely to
the presence of the great number of marching
organizations, some Of which resemble A full
marching regimentsby their numbers. and while
it seemed probable, last night that all had ar
rived on the scene of action, this morning wit
messed the arrival of additional hosts. Dele
gates clubs, parties, and individuals came pour
ing into the city on the early trains without
limit. AS they moved directly upon the head
quarters, those places became, as the day wore
on, inaccessible to everyone except staiwart

CHICAGO, July Very few of the States
which perfected their organizations to-day took
a test vote as to their preferences. The position
of Pennsylvania is known to be for Randall,
Delaware for Bayard. and Indiana and Kentucky

Iowa today took a vote. and will, on the in
formal ballot, give Cleveland q, Bayard 2, and
Tilden votes. One blank vote was cast.
The Georgia delegation to-day was addressed
by General Faulkner. of New York, who pre-
sented objections to Clevelands candidacy A
reply was made for Cleveland by Joseph
Pulitzer, of the World, who spoke
at length and with great earnestness
The impression on the delegation was favor
able to Cleveland While there was no formal
vote. it was understood that the vote of Georgia
would be cast for him.
Vermont instructed her chairman to cast the
vote of the State as unit for Cleveland

would be divided rather evenly between Nc
Donald, Thurman and Bayard
1t is contended that the split in the Ohio Cele-

that Mclean will be chosen for chairman unaui-

time that Thurman has twenty seven votes in

THE project of laying out track and ar
ranging grounds for a county agricultural
fair on the level plateau in Moretown near
Billings mill and about one mile from this

passes over this plateau and divides it into
two fields. The plan is to turn the road
down the little ravne westerly from the
field, coming out on to the DuXbury road at
the bridge. The site is fine one and we
trust the project will succeed.
ONE of the benefits desired by the ncor-
poration of the village was the improve
inent of the streets and sidewalks. Some
work has been done on the Streets-some in
the nature of decided improvement, some
of doubtful utility The thing which most

are lower than the street and form a water
course during showers, and during thaws
in winter and spring the slush is several
inches deep. 1t is the walk over which
there is more travel than over any other in
the village and over which strangers invari-
ably pass. 1t ought TO have received before
this the attention it demands, and it ought
now to be putingood condition before winter.
From the corner to the bank there is a plank
walk and this was one of the best improve
ments made under the old order of things
If this walk was extended to the hotel a
dry, clean and very desirable thoroughfare
from "the hill " to the railway station
would be obtained over which pedestrians
could pass dry shod in rainy weather and
free from dust in dry times. Why not have
the plank walk?
