in accord with the letter and spirit OF
the law OF the Republican party. The

Gresham's friends insist that he is
gaining. They will not admit, even in
confidence with their own kind, that
Gresham is out or likely to be soon.
Neither will they admit what am sure
is true, that Harrison has gained since
the convention opened. Allison is COM

special point is TO be made by taking
him. This excellent material is not SO
much in request rs it otherwise should

THE WEST vIRGINGANS.
The West Virginians continue to pour
in. A few leave but new arrivals more
than take their places. The lowest esti-

Captain Dcvries, OF the Baltimore 4
