An examination of the records shows that the increase has been going on from year to year, and this increase would seem to de- mand an enlargement of the Means of accommoda- tion. No illeffects that I am aware of have re- sulted thus far from the crowded condition of the dormitories, but they are occupled to their full ca- acity, and any further crowding should be avoided Ile. ‘The dining-room fs of capacity to seat only 340, whijgt the whole number present 1s 741 (including those in the hospital), so that it ts nec- essary to Prepare several second tables for each meal ° * An extension of the dining-room appears to have been projected several years aio, as indicated by the fintshed foundation and large amount of material on the ground. If this exten- ston could be completed, and in such a manner as asto admit of sleeping apartments in the upper story, it. would be a destrable improvement, would relieve the pressure now felt for nore room; and in my Judgment would be largely conducive to the comfort and health of the inmates.” ‘THE INTERNAL POLICE and discipline of the Home, the messing and ‘sleep- ing arrangements, and the character of the food, are all spoken of in high terms.

At Randall's headquarters the lst of Carlisle votes published yesterday and to-day was critically dissected and considerable sport made of it. The opinion of the Randall men was that Carlisie was claiming more votes, according to that lst, than he will get. At Carlisie’s headquarters a list of Ran- dall votes, published tn some of the papers to-day, was torn to pieces and ridiculed. ‘VOTES CONCEDED TO RANDALIL. ~ It was conceded that Randall will get 4 votes from New England, 14 from New York, 2 in Indiana, 8 in New Jersey, 11 in Pennsylvania, 4 in Alabama, 2 in Texas, 1 in Florida, 2 in Georgia, and 3 tn North Carolina; but tt was asserted that the count for him of 10 in Ohio, 2 in Arkansas, 5 in‘Missouri, 4 in Tennessee, 3 in sUiseissippl, 8 in South Carotina, 3 in Virginia, 4 in Maryland, and 2 in West Virginia was excessive. It was admitted that Randall will get votes from all these states, but that his Segre ate vote In the states named will be from 12 £0 15 fess than the number claimed. ‘MR. ELLIS’ FIGURES. Representative Ellis, of Louisiana, sald that the Ust put forth as coming from him did not give Car- Usle as many votes as he (Ellis) counts for htm. In- stead of giving him a total of 9 on the first ballot, Mr. Ellis allows him 101. MR. MORRISON'S VIEWS. Mr. Morrison evidently thought that Fllis was counting more votes from some states than could be safely estimated, but he had no doubt of Car- Usle’s election. “Carlisle is undoubtedly ahead to- day,” sald Mr. Morrison, “and we belleve will stay ahead.” “Will the sectional cry hurt him’ “No it wont. The democrats are not such fools as to get scared at that.” HON. ‘MURPHY, of Iowa, sad: “One of the very reasons why I am such an ardent supporter of Carlisle 1s that it gives mean opportunity to say louder than words can speak to the south ‘we have accepted the recon- cillation between the sections as sincere and fnal.” ‘That's the way northern democrats look at it. This 1s the first opportunity we have had to elevate a southern man toa Position of high trust, and we mean to show our falth by our votea” REPRESENTATIVE GfBSON, of West Virginia, says two of the three democrats from that state are for Carlisle, MR. COX CONTINUES T0 GET GOOD NEWS. Mr. Cox spent most of the day at his headquar- ters. He sald toa Star reporter that ‘good news” continues to come to him. He reiterated his former statement that any calculations which do not give him the solid democratic vote of New York are erroneous. He says the entire New York democratic delegation will be here next week, and that every member of it will work diligently and earnestly for his (Cox’s) success, JOUN KELLY NOT COMING. ‘Mr. Cox said there was no truth whatever in the report that John Kelly is coming here in his in- terest. The indications now are that the New York democrats intend to make a united effort to elect Cox. ‘MR. SPRINGER: received visitors at the National and discussed the speakershlp, but gave no information as to what Yotes he counts upon. He thinks there is room for ihn to win, so he says, eee The Base Ball Players, ANNUAL MEETING OF THE’ NATIONAL LEAGUE.
