pushed and crushed for about au hour
beforo his section of tho procosslon
arrived in the Bioo lloora, where
the President stood with the ladles of
his Mbfaet ofneers on his right, and
Col Mc Michael, tho master of cere
monies on his left. I gave my name
to Col , wa presented to tho Preal

all along the line to tho ladles, pasaod
through the Rod Parlor, and landed
In the spacious Eist Room.
A party of six Flathead Indians
were presented to the receiving par
ty, end then formed In line against
the wall opposite, and stood for a
while watching tho "Great Father"
receive his family. They wore
brightly striped blankets and beaded
moccasins, eigte feathers, glass ear
lugs, and other spangles and banglos,
their own hair flowed gracefully down
their hacks. Their ehaporon, Hon.
Mr. MaglunU of Montana marched
them Into the East Room, where
another reception was held by the
scalpers. While shaklag hands with
the Indians the curious crowd closed
o tightly around them that they
could scarcely draw a long breath.
One of of them remarked to me "Ugh!
It is mighty hot here! Vghln
The densely packed parlors woro

tho body, and occupied the platform
during the seMsinns of the convention.
Among titose who Mpoke were Sena
tors Walker, Swyer, Jonas, and Le-
gan. In compliance with a vocifer
ous doaaod for a speech Sent tor L

lego of meeting such a representa
tive class of men, who were horn and
bred beside the great waters, and
best knew ita wants ; he dfd not pre
sume to offer counsel or suggestions
totne convention, out was present
to be taught. Delegates boldly asser
ted In presence of their visitors from
Capitol hill, that tho Congressmen
who did not encourage this great
work would be left out at the next
election. The convention Is not on
ly a business like body, but appears
to be patriotic. When the national
colors were brought into the hall yes
terday the cheers were load and pro
longed. Toe delegates called in a
body upon the President, who ex
pressed sympathy with tbolr outer
prise and said he was always glad to
meet western men.
During the week the Senate has
had under consideration the subjects of
copyright, Mexioao land grant till oj,
Pleuro-Pneumouia, a Congressional
library building.and a romoval of tho

trance of tho Capitol grounds. The
House saw the safe delivery from
committee of the Morrison tariff bill,
which marked with emphasis the
present week of Congress.
