there is greatly increasing interest manifested
among the magnates Of the democratic party in this
city and State to the duty that lies before them
With the masses OF the people, conservative repub-
hcans and democrats the nomination OF Chase Is the
whole thing talked of and the one great thing de-
sired. The duty Of the Democratic National Conven-
ton is the chief topic Of conversation and debate In
every small and large coterie OF politicians wherever
two assemble. Around the City Hall, the courts the
public ofces and their adjuncts the public houses and
