The picturesqueness of dress and
manner OF conventions OF other days
is gone from this. The delegates seem
TO be singularly all of one level. Judg-
ing from standards of dress and man
ner 1t is impossible To distinguish
senator from congressman. and con-
gresham from plain attorney, and at
torney from merchant.
Years ago a glance at the hats alone
would reveal the part of the country
from which delegate had come. The
style of whiskers also was indicative.
In this gathering the Kentucky colonel
wears the same straw head cover that
has been chosen by the New York
banker. It is impossible to tell the
Californian from the resident of
Maine.
A few men from the plain states OF
the west show trife more of tan on
their cheeks than do those from the
seaboard states. And now and then a
wide hat OF the old familiar western"
style appears. But the rest Of the
makeup of the wearer shows nothing
distinguishing. Some of the men that
at first glance seemed picturesque
were found to be delegates from ILL
nois and Indiana, and the most that
could be said OF them was that they
