Tho other callers were mostly senators and representatives and olllco-seekers. Tho Connecticut nnd New Hampshire dclgatlon called in force. The delegation from tho Nutmeg stato pressed the state for tht local olllces agreed upon last week. The Green 'Mountain delegation presented John G. Crawford, of New Hampshire, for minister to Colombia. .As the present minister is a Now Hampshire Democrat they claim that tho place should go to their state.
