A Pen Sketch of Mr. Fuller.

The Republican National Convention will be composed of 822 delegates, as follows: Dclecatmat Urjrc. 5? District delegate* 650 Territorial delegate* „..v .... 1? District of Columbia delegate* - 'lt will require 412 to nominate.

Franck does not seem to be a unit for Boulanger, the dandy. But if he adopts Napoleonic tactics he can help a good deal to make it so. Panizzi says of those killed at the time of the coup d'etat of Napoleon III: “No register was kept. Probably Napoleon did pot know —he could not wish to know. How can I know? But from such details as I gather I account 20,000 rather too few than too many.” He planted his cannon and raked the streets until he thought the people were cowed into abject fear and non-resistance. That was all.. He only killed off enough to make France a unit. Now France desires ' another Napoleon who has another “idea.” The Napoleonic idea cost France some hundreds of millions of money; and of lives, who knows how many, from first to last?

Philadelphia Pre«*, Withington dispatch. Mr. Fuller is a leader of what is known as the “silk-stocking faction” of the Democracy in Chicago, and is not popular with the rank and file of the party. He ran against Joseph Mackin for delegate to the last Democratic National Convention and was beaten by one vote. The ups and downs of their experience since then have been pretty exenlv divided, but one of them has taken all the ups and left the other all the downs. The man whom the Democracy of Mr. Fuller's own district pre-‘ ferred to him is now serving a term in the IlUneis penitentiary. The defeated candidate is about entering upon a lifeterm as Chief-Justice of 'the United States. The Democrats of Chicago do not seen to be quite* in harmony with the boss Democi it in the White House, but if the defe itod candidate of that delegate election leserves his fortune as well as his successful rival, there ought to be no questions about his confirmation. He is a natty little man, with a flowing white mustache and silvery hair, which he wears long. He” weighs about 125 pounds. It is well that he will have time to get a gown made for himself before his installation. If he should venture to go through the ■ceremony nrsgown borrowed frnnr one of his associates, as Mr. Ijimar did, the clerk of the court would best tie a string to him when he gets into it or there will be some difficulty to find him afterwards.
