The belief here IS that the conven-

labors before next Saturday at the
earliest and there are many politicians
who are inclined to the opinion chat
the session OF the convention will be
even much more proTacted.
The venders Of badges and buttons
bearing ukenesses Of the several can
didates for the presidential nomina

political convention nowadays would
seem complete, are rounding up in st.
