The new design for the postal card win be put to
press about the LIST of December The Bureau of En-
craving and Printing preparing the plates The
new design is very simple. There is vignette of
Thomas Jefferson in circle without elaboration The
edge, lone cent under the vignette and beneath all
nothing but the address this side" The objection
to the present design is that it is too large for the size
of the card and does not give writer's sufficient space
to put the address properly 1t will possibly be the
middle of December before the new cards will be
ready for sale.

A Disguised Indianapolis Delegate.

Richmond Special to Chicago Times.
Col. Samuel Lefiingwell, of Indianapolis. one
of the ablest members of the convention left for
his home to-nightin high dudgeon. Just before
taking the bus for the train the Colonel said: ~
am Disguised with the whole affair." | might
add, aggravatedly Disguised. [ am going to take
the train this evening and go home" The Colonel
later on, in pleasant way. said that if he was
resident of Richmond he would apply for an in
junction to have the convention dissolved Some
of Leffingwell's friends say night that before
going home he will visit New York and have
talk with Henry George, the labor candidate in
that city. The disgust at the convention ex-
pressed by this delegate is felt by many others,
some of them among the most prominent mem
bers of the assembly. The indications are that
if the convention remains here until Monday 1t
will be without more than n bare majority. and
it is probable they will hurry away and leave all
the important business unfinished.
