Edwin D. Morgan, of New York, Chairman of the Union National Committee, called the Convention to order, and Robert J. Breckinridge, of Kentucky, was chosen temporary Chairman. In the course of his introductory address, Mr. Breckinridge said: Passing over many things which it would be right for me to say, did the time serve, and were this the occasion let me add, you are a Union party.
Then the notability raised his arm once more, and took off his hat, and all the males on the platform took off their hats, and presently every boy and man in the Square had uncovered his head to the strong sunshine; and at last Edwin had to do the same, and only the policemen, by virtue of their high office, could dare to affront the majesty of God. And the reverberating voice cried
She was awful fat, and was a steppin' on her dress." Wollaston was keen-witted, and he immediately grasped at the truth of the matter. "You idiot!" he said. "What makes you think she was with the stout woman just because she was climbing into the train after her?" "Little girls don't never go to New York alone with dolls," vouchsafed Edwin, more idiotically than ever. "Leastways "
Rockett, who was just now in anguish of lumbago, tried to straighten himself in his chair before replying, but sank helplessly together with a groan. 'You can't help yourself, May, he said at length.

They were immediately separated in the crowd, and, strange to say, Edwin at once found himself standing beside Emma Lee, who, by some curious coincidence, had just parted from Netta, so that they found themselves comparatively alone. What they said to each other in these circumstances it does not become us to divulge.
The same person who, in the play, performed the school-fellow of the Nabob with a great deal of nature and original humour, here acted the part of the school-master: his name is Edwin, and he is, without doubt, one of the best actors of all that I have seen.
An American poet who won twenty-two years ago a reputation with a small volume, who ten years later seemed almost forgotten, and who now deservedly stands higher than ever before is Edwin Arlington Robinson. He was born in Maine, on the twenty-second of December, 1869, and studied at Harvard University.
But at five minutes past twelve just before Stifford went out to his dinner Darius entered the ebonised cubicle, and said curtly to Edwin, who was writing there "Show me your book."
