MILLIONS OF WORDS BY WIRE.
A Fair Estimate Of the Telegraphie Ser
vice at Chicago During the COnven-
finna

vice at OhtCaBO OuflhE the OOnNen-
tiOns.
Washington Correspondence Boston Globe.
The special telegraphic reports of the
proceedings of the last two national con-
ventiOns were unprecedented for their ac-
curacy and completeness, For the four
days of the Republican Convention 1861
lis words were telegraphed special
through one Of the companies, an aver
age of 10000 words a day. During the
four days of the Democratic Conven-
tian 1,522, ,960 words were telegTaphed
special, or an average OF over $50, 900
words per day. A competing line, which
also did excellent service at the cOnven-
tions, sent about 10000 words day and
the other companies probably sent an
amount equal to that. Ii is safe to as
sumo that over 1000, 900 words of specials
were telegraphed from Chicago during the
eight days that both conventions were in
session. Hundreds of thousands of words
were telegraphed the few days preceding
the assemblage of each Of the conventions
and the revenues from specials TO the
telegraph companies during both, cOnven-
tiOn weeks at the Chicago offices could
not have been less than $50. 600.
