and they found before ~ o'clock that the
forks by such ttickery could nominate Flick
I do not see Shannon's name in the list Of
delegates matter he had his seat sup
Piled And "Blathering fool" as he ex.
posed his colleague TO be, will find men Of his
own depth often exert greater influence
than any other. Did Mr.. Shannon not exert
an influence nbefore IL o'clockn himselfa Ii
is but just that his betrayed colleague should
know what took him 10 Sunbury.
| While il is within the scope Of probability
that Frick was nominated by this trick it is
equally so that Mr.. Armstrong lost the vote
Of Northumberland county Had Shannon
and Tweed been in the place assigned them
on the first ballot, Armstrong would have
had 10 votes and Quay 10, which would have
been strong leader in favor Of Armstrong.
1t is therefore not improbable that this trea.
cherry gave a cast to the Congressional as
well - the Senatorial nominations.
| am not sutfiently versed in the mythoo
gy of the pagan nations to define the reasons
which gave rise TO the belief of, some Of
them, in the transmgration of the spirits Of
dying men and animals into those inst be-
ginning to live, but. take it, that it was by
observing similarity of action between ami
NAL and animal and not unfrequently between
men and animals. Perhaps they had poiti
clans and county delegations and such tric-
kerry, which is quite likely from the part that
Arisides was oslracised and banished because
he was an honest man. Be all this as it may,
if there is any thing in the dogma alluded TO,
a pair of contemplate dogs must have yelped
their last at the birth of the Lewis ambassa-
dors to Sunbury.
As made Harrisburg point, as well as
J Lewis, let me refer to it before Iclosc.
There happened to be Il firm established
near the State Capitol for binding and stitch
ing state papers and selling stationary, quills,
&c and board placed over The door with
Clyde and Williams OH it, know not whence
they came, but they made money and be-
leve both have military titles; they are also

in the Latitude and Longitude of our COM
monwealtn which admirably fits them TO take
the command and act the Black beard of IA
numbering crew. II somerhai happens, per-
haps by accident, that one of the firm has ac-
ted as Senatorial conierec ever since Dauphin
and Northumberland became district. Three
years since Mr.. Williams was the conferee
from Horrsbnrg---w,h ilris preamble, will
let you see the clue have BY the end.
Between the llih and Goth April 1916 a
distinguished citizen of Harrisburg, at the in
stance of IA friend, called at ihe office of
Clyde & Williams, to ascertain their dispo-
siiion in regard TO "A candidate proposed by
Northumberland county Mr.. Williams, the

This same MIR. Clyde, happened, pcrhnp,
