The Republicans, in the formation OF
the convention, drew the color line yery
decidedly. The central aisle did service
as the traditional line. When a white
nan entered the hall no naturally found
his way TO the white side, and when
colored man entered he felt an irrepres-
slOle inclination to hunt the "niggerr
corner; and this was IA Republican con
vention, too.
Most of the delegates left for home To-
night.
