solutely. The tickets are sold by sessions. and
those sold for one session are not good for any
other.
The crowd did raise howl OF protest this
morning. but IL was not needed Moreover.
ten minutes after the session the Sergeant-at-
Arms went around and shouted to tho few who
fingered to see the hall that they must got
right out. for the building was going to
be closed at once. Then again tho
rcople were confronted as they went
out by hundreds Of ticket peddlers and
spectators with handfuls OF tickets to tho
evening session. which they offered for sale at
from So to so each. To make the purchase II
little more interesting. n good many specula-
tors ran sort OF lottery with the tickets. They
had besides tho tickets for the evening session
rork cts full OF tickets for half dozen pros
pcc.ive sessions
Nrhcy offered the pick OF any two sessions
for $l5. or tho pick Of any session for $40. or n
whole outfit OF tickets for $50. The chances
were about six to one that tho man who took
one ticket in the lot would get session that
would last only five minutes. 1t was
three to one that the purchaser would not
get any return for his money There was tho
who got tho OUTFIT for 500 could SEE some
thing. A great many persons sworc at Repub-
show in particular and paid the 500

cold and unsatisfactory. This Is not altogether
the fault Of the manaGers for they do the best
factorily feed the crowds that sleep in them.
Tho whiskey sold would kill mule.
The, West Hotel management have cause for
complaint against the visitors. and they will
probably never, cease to regret that the Con-
vcntion was held in this city. They received

tho 90 streets p themselv"s. The sidewalks are
blocked so as to DO almost i,npassab!e. The
Sirss Ias are 10 I'm pnd the men ana
worth ones life to board a ear while if you take
every two blocks. Tho managers of tho street
railways haven't had cars on hand when the
that the the ten Or aeyen Thousand PEOPLE have
been dumped out Of the huge hall on top Of
two or three runy little cars.
Pullman and Wagner cars OF the special trains
that are sidc-trackcd here is worse even than
the condition Of the others. The cars arc hot
boxes. Every bunk and every section is a hot
box in n hot box, and after q ni.tht in them the
mon come out with n parboiled appearance.
Tie legitimate merchants OF the town do
not stooD to Swindle the visitors, but tho
fnkirs arc as thick as ilees on "a yellow dog. A
collection of hoothlacks has been imported

II tho annoyances here. is the fish horn
iicnd as numerous on q New Years night
night. Brotiacks and water pitchers have no
effect on him. and the police encourage him.
Yet with all there is tC complai nabout. there
ar" n few things to be thank full for. The New
York Life building, whore the new. raper men
are. is not overcrowded. The Minneapolis
CLUB is one of the finest clubs in tile coun-
try with n building almost as fine as
that of the New Colonial Club in New
York. The members havo extended tho
courtcsicS of the club to about as many mon
as they can accomEodntc. and 1t Is now the
centre of the best political gossip evenings
There is reason to he thankful to tho Minne
apolis man generally. for he is doing his best.
but twice his best would not prevent the visi-
tors from PRAYING to he let out of the town.
The distress is kccnly felt among the dele
gates from the South especially. They arc
most Of Thorn poor Very few Of them brought
enough money to last over to-day or to-mor-
row. and very few Of them have bank accounts
or even friends upon whom they can draw.
The railroad tickets Of many Of them will run
out before Saturday night.
