Who Cleverly  Secured Control of
the Convention for a Eenomiuation.
above phrase it is well to say that
there wasn't a ripple upon the surface Tuesday morning. The boyft
of the old school were concealing
the art of manipulating convert
'tions beautifully, therefore whm
the result became known all had to
admit that the old bojs were as
clever at tho game as of yore. The
fellows from the country, who send
to the district school and thought
they had some right to be heard
upon the commissioner proposition,
found themselves lost in the avalanche of smiles and glad hands.
The old gag of "Democratic inter*
fereiiee," "Patty loyalty," aud
"Harmony" came inlo good play,
and serenity o'erspread the countenances of those who have for
many a spring told the novices just
what should be done for the good
of the party, and without any reference to the good of anything else.

corner, and so was the Anything-for
Welch fellows. Confident of victory the insurgents were gloating
upon their foregone winning, but
o. the vote hadn't been taken
When all was over Welch had 25,
Aldrioh, 19 and Brown 2.
W. H. Browne, was chairman of
the convention and Del. Gibson, of
Lake, Secretary. Elmer Cluta, of
Bheridan, presented Aldrich's name
and Johnny-on-the-spot Mart Temple, of Temple, presented the name
of the present school commissioner.
Delegates to the state  convention
eleeted were A. J".. Doherty,   L.   L
Kelley aud G. J.  Cummins.     The
committee upon resolutions neglect
ed to report.
Thers is apparently much opposition still in the air to Mr. Welch
and all kinds of threats are heard,
but at present he has the best of it
because, through the aid of the
post-gniduates in the art of convention manipulation he has the nomination, and that means a whole lot.
