WATCHING THE TICKERS-ANXIoUS TO HEAP
THE CANDIDATE NAMED.
Interest in the result of tho Chicago Convention is
Intense N Wall Street and IN the afternoon the news
tickers Of more Importance than the quotations from
the Stock Exchange. 1t is strange fact that Dem
ocrats of the deepest dye, watching the proceed
!Dgs closely and in every brokers' Office In Wall Street
the who stands nearest the tckers is sure to
be Rebel Brisadler The Republicans stand apart in
mute wonder whether their political enemies look
ing for the name of the man who shall vanqulsh Them
Even the oppressive weather fails to suppress the
anxiety to know the latest regarding the pro-
ceedings Of the Chicago Convention shown by most
members of the Consolidated Stock and Petroleum Ex
change They ask with eagerness for latest bue-
tin from the West, that the time of decided action
Is approaching and speculatons intermlnable are
dulged In the chances of the different Candidates
1t Is impression not confined to party that the
effect of any nomination will at least for the moment
DO beneficial to values and significance lay in the
ocular cry OF Of the brokers when prices Of rail
way stocks enjoyed squirt In the afternoon: They're
buying em on Biaine's nomination !" In the oil crowd
are many who have interests producers In Ohio,
and these persons show decided sollctude respecting
Jonn shermans boom, and many of the Western Penn

traders will be as much devoted to the news tckers
as to the market quotations. Little betting tho
result Is iodulged in, but there are many opinions
held that the Convention after all viii demand the
vices Of the Pumed Knight
In the Court House the prospects Of the convention
were discussed among the clerks from a Democratic
polnt of view. Much animation manifested In
the proceedings, although It claimed with more
or less earnestness that whoever nominated by
tho Republicans would be defeated. The Judges, OF
course had nothing to say about politics Among
the Republican lawyers who were IN during the
dav there was as much diversity Of sentiment TO
who would make the best candidate as there Is at
Chicago, and a general expression of belief that II
good man selected as standard bearer success on
the issues so fully defined in the coming canvass
would surely perch upon tho Republican banner.
IT is significant that the interest taken the present
convention in Brooklyn completely oyershadows that
manifested by even the most ardent, ofiiceseehdns
Dcmocrats whom the whppers-ln of the Administration
were going through the form OF holding National
Convention In st. Louis. At the various Republican
clubs in the evening the rooms we're crowded with
men anxious TO learn the latest news. Many interest
inc discussions arose, and between the bulletins the
relative merits OF the various candidates freely
discussed
The Charles Sumner Club Of Brooklyn Is making
tensivo preparations to begin tho campaign the mo-
ment that the candidate Is named. This organization

the Twenty fourth Ward. and has done fne work dur
