Mr.. Dibble also makes regulations

that the most highly polished of the
marble tubs are the ones to be set aside
for the members. Thus Mr.. Dlbble
discriminates in favor of the mem bers,

indignation has arisen.
The members of the Democratic Ma

struggling in all day and tonight all
are accounted tor either by person or

The ways in which thu delegate are
going to work are as varions as the sec

gold if they will only come out there.

they say, and would secure the Pacific

Chicago is the quietest OF the three

Lake City is doing good work and it
will be no urprise if the wind should
blow strongly on her mainsails at the
right moment to bring her across the
line ahead.
Cncinnati's beer and her music halls
are at a discount. Straight whisky
goes this time, and the "favorite

York is here with g delegation
of hotel-keepers to back Tammany
Hall up, but they will never have an
opportunity to pack guests five in a
room at $40 per day. The west is
bound to have the convention, and
aside from the unfortunate faction
fights in the State the great metropolis
would stand no show.

Mayor Francis of st. Louis is here
