but slightly filled, the reading OF deposi-

Colonel Breckenridge walked over to the

In response to the call OF Gen. McCook and
the news that Col. Strong had showed yielding
disposition, the Republican district leaders
gathered yesterday afternoon at Col. Strong's
headquarters In the Sturtevant House. II was
noticed that they all wore old clothes with big
pockets that were stretched from wear. The
Hon. Jacob NJ. Patterson wore cuffs on his wide
boots. The Hon. Frederick s. Gibbs brought
along market basket. 1t was noticed, too, that
the gentlemen all wore smiles and looked par
ticularly happy. Col. Strong went up TO meet
them after he had closed his bank and the
store They were all in the inside room when
he got there. The colored man let him in. and
then Locke he double doors. They were there
something like an hour. Mr.. Gibbs came out
first. He threw his basket across the street and
walked away. Then the others came out, all
looking glunI as could be.
What happened I" they were asked.
''Oh, talkee-t alkee," said one.

they all went away unhappy.
