from the Green Mountains to the White house.
Gould was studying over that speech he
made at the Minnesota state convention,
pledging himself to vote for Blaine as long
as any of 'em, trying to reconcile it with his
vote for Lynch.
Graves was hoping Davis would make an
other mistake and vote for Arthur on the
first ballot so he could follow the lead and
not retract the blunder
Newell was toying with his whiskers and
watching his alternate, Barker, to see if he
had designs on him.
Liberty Hall was estimating the cost of a
piece OF Grape, to decorate his white hat
when he goes marching home with Blaine in
a box.
sabin was apparently relieved over having
gotten the convention organized, even
though the temporary chairman casts shad
ow over the rostrum.
The outside visitors were numerous, and
wondered why the delegation kept an empty
pitcher ON the mantel, as if they had any use
for water.
| zen. McLaren fitted in and out, chuckling
over the discontinue of the Blaine forces
and shaking the moss on his legs until t
ratified with joy. He said he knew how it
would be all the time, and says that he is so
happy that he will forgive every Swede he
ever arrested for cutting tree tops on gov
ernment land
ODDS AND ENDS.
| As passed down Clark street about II
O'Clock tonight found some noisy mem
bers of the ''grand old party'' occupying tn e
front door and steps of wholesale liquor
store which looked inside as though its stock
had been depleted. They were trying to
make Blaine man give three cheers for tine
nominee, whoever he may be-" NHeresto
nominee" they shouted, but (hic) ''Im
Blaine, was the sturdy response. He evi-
IDENTIFY thought he was the ''plumed knight
himself.
Senator sabin is quite generally compi-
mented for his irmness in holding the con-
vention up to the mark and not letting it
''take year, to get temporary chairman,
as delegate from Nebraska proposed. This
proposition was regarded as somewhat OBJ
jectionable as it would prevent the conven-
ton organizing before the election of the
Democratic president.
A Cincinnati ''Lincoln club with silk
banner, white hats and brass band paraded
the streets tonight, seventy-fve strong.
The bar tenders about the city look very
tired and the Kentucky whisky men begin to
be glad that they lost their bill allowing them
to keep the raw material in bond. If this
convention lasts week they'll have use for
all of it.
1t is claimed that Powell Clayton acquired
his "empty sleeve'' in bar room fight.
This emasculates all the poetry in Gen.
Carr's speech.
Fred Douglas is here and threatens to get
married again if Arthur is not nominated
Harrison is out of the dark horse list, and
Harrison is full fiedged candidate is the
contradictory gossip of the street.
Gen. Baker is in favor of almost any one
from Minnesota for member of the nation
al committee, except Sabin. He would even
take it himsef-if he could get it.
To-MoRRow's WORK.
There is no prospect of ballot tomorrow.
1t is doubtful whether any thing more than
the report of the committees on credentials,
rules and resolutions will be voted upon. It
is possible that the candidates.-wiH be pre-
sented, but if they are an evening session
win probably have to be held. There will be
no balloting until Thursday. 1 should not
be surprised if there was no nomination be-
fore Friday.
| A GENERAL SUMMARY.
There are stories of all kinds of plots and
combinations, which are useless to report.
The situation in a nutshell is that the Blaine
men are hopeful and the Arther men conf
dent, and the major portion of the crowd
think it will be ''dark horse''-counting
everyone as clark horse'' outside of the
the two leading candidates. consider that
this days work has added emphasis to my
uniform statement that it will be neither Ar
thur nor Blaine. 1t might be good plan
for the Rev. Mr.. Bristol to take his prayer
and go up and see where the lightning is 60
ing to strike. II. P. H
