I'm CROWD At ST LOUIS,
Every indication points To an immense
| crowd here az the convention. Col
| Richard { Kcreus Of the natl nal com
mttce, and Senator Tom Carter each
/ estimate that there will be at least
$50 600 strangers IN ST. Louis a. that
/ time and there is q probability that the
number will be exceeded. There will
be al least 10000 from Missouri. Col
| II aim tells me that there viii be from
twenty to TWENTY-FIVE thousand here
from Ohio. anu thai Cleveland will send
a delegation for Mghulgy OF az least S.
UlJ. From IS So lo -, go p.ap H.H
expected from Iowa to shout for Allison,
and among these will be / 600 men who
| will ride into the city ON white horses.
The question OF taking care OF these 1000
| white horse, will not be great one for
| 81. Louis. for people say that this Is The
| largest horse and niue market IN the
| world, and they could stable 10 600 such
| animals. There will be 10 O5J men from
| Indianapolis and is surroundings. Col.
| Manley tells me there will be large dele
CATION from Maine, and there viii be
| thousands OF Rtpub leans here from New
| England to shout for Thomas y. Reed,
| About S 600 men are expected from Chi.
caro NrwYork, Il Is said. will send S 600,
and am told that In all the states special
cars ard trains are being engaged BY
the different clubs and by private par
ties.
RAILROAD FACILITIES,
St. Louis is peculiarly favored as t1
railroad facilities. Tie country sur
rounding her is thicsly populated. Twen
ty.ix gTeat railroads center here, and
the I'm on depot Is said TO be the larges
IN the world II Is certainly the fines
depot In the United States and the roaC'
running INTO II have Il Is said, a mileag,
greater than that Of all the railroads o
England and France combined. tn,
cars are all backed into the dcpotln suct
a way as to leave the engines outside
and the smoke OF the ordinary station d
thus avoided. There is big corps o
messengers about the station. Il has {
barber shop and hotel connected will
IL. Il Is, IN fact a little city In itsyli, hav
| lux u pNhloAllNt a bh1h pAolNI AlAiiAk aA'
lunch rooms, and more other side estib
llshments than any other depot | hay,
ever entered. The street cars com
right to the depot and the visitor
ior day can 20 directly TO the conven
ton hall. The railroads will il is thought
charge only one laTe Tor the round TIL
to ST Louis and return.
In addition TO the railroads there vii
be large number Of steamers TO brlni
VII itors from up and down the river,
is estimated that there will be five hun
bred passenger trains going in and on
OF the depot daily during the time OF tn
convention, and II Is safe to say that Their
will be no trouble in landing the 1850 90
people expected,
A more important consideration, how
ever will be the taking care OF them
How ST. Louis will do his, what Il vii
cost a man to stay at the convention an'
something OF the arrangements whicl
the city has made for housing the guest
