became intense.
When Tennessee made his nomination certain,
tremendous cheers broke forth, and the crowds
from all the bulletin boards made frantic rush
for Gen. Harrison's law ONCE in Market street,
shouting, waving hats, umbrellas, and canes as
the broad street was packed with Thousand OF ex-

them were too much excited 10 give any express
sion OF their feelings. The general bore
himself splendidly and to each ne extended
his hand, smiled, and now and then
thanked those who could ind their voices for ut

by an interesting scene. While bulletins were
being received in Gen. Harrisons law Office, quite
a number or his personal friends were there,
but he was apparently the coolest person
present, opening and reading the dispatch

coolest possible manner. when IL became known,

office became so great that he was conducted into
an adjoining room, where he was forced again TO
appear at the balcony ia response TO the calls OF
the people. While the cheering continued, Gen
eral Harrison's carriage drove up. Some friends
accompanied him down stairs, the crowd fell back,
and he stepped into bis carriage and was driven
away to his residence amid tremendous cheering.

The heat, however, will probably not be felt so
severely as yesterday or Saturday. for the air now
is comparatively dry, while heretofore IL has been
damp. This makes considerable difference In the
sensation produced, for when the air Is dry the
evaporation OF the moisture Of the body takes
place with much more rapidity than when the
atmosphere Is already saturated. This fact caused
ane prediction made Yesterday morning to fall

The prediction Office said that the temperature
