the Democratic party of New York, will re:
mind those who have had much to do with
State Conventions how those two astute man.
ayers combined to bring forward the men
whose names were to be put upon the sIate'
for nomination. The writer recalls an incl
dent that occurred at a Democratic State
Convention. held at Syracuse in 1857, which
nominated the ticket that was elected in No
vember of that year. Richmond and Cagger
were in consultation at the Syracuse House;
on the evening before the assembling of the
Convention, as to who would be likely to i'm
part most strength to the ticket
"Well, Cagger, about the Secretary of
State-what do you say?"
'The newspaper men, replied Mr.. Gag
ger, ''seem to have taken up Gid Tucker:
what do you think about it?'
"Don't know much about him; smart chan
they say; writes well, and knows the boys.
Best to go him."
Il reckon so."
Put him down.
The ''slate" was commenced with the
name of Mr.. Tucker
-"What about Comptroller ?"
'Oh Church, of course; there isn't any!
body, but him we can trust"
''Fact !''
And Mr.. Church's name was inscribed.
WHO for Treasurer ?"
Don't know;' says Mr.. Cagger tsome
of your boys talk about Vanderpoel, and no.
body else seems to be pushing for it,"
VANS good fellow knows about the
lager, talks Dutch, and is a favorite with the
women.o
Down went the name of the handsome

"Tremain's got it pretty bad, )" said Mr.. c.;
''how'll that do West ?"
"Oh, we go anything but don't some of
those New York chaps want ?''
No; they're in little fight about the
State Engineer, and are not pressing anv
one. Iremain's with u.s." guess we had
better 20 him."
"All right; scratch him down."
''What about State Engineer ~
s'Well, on the WHOLE" replied Mr.. c.,
Ivan Richmond's our best man, but the
New Workers are in row about it. Sickles
and Sam Bntterworth are strong for Charley
Graham General c. K. Graham;) but Fer
nando and John Kelley are against it. If
we so Graham. who is nice fellow, there'll
be split, and that won't do"
"Oh, no-no splits Give them Rich.
mond /; they'll swallow it-they must I"
lie was swallowed, though Graham made
a bold dash.
well, Mr.. Richmond. about Canal Com
missioner? important that must have a
good man."
That's so there's been too much steal
ing there, and it ought to be stopped How
will Jaycox answer?"
"Jaycox is pushed by John A. Green and
the Onondaga chaps he's smart and sound;
think it's best ?''
"On the whole, yes"
"Put him down"
"And now this Prison Inspectorship-
what shall we do with it? Fifty are after
It, from all over the State, and every man
that don't get it will be mad as hornet"
''Fact it's a regular nuisancel I've been
button-holed four hundred times about it in
the last two hours. I'll tell you what, Pc
ter; suppose you and don't bother our
selves about it, but just let the Convention
nominate the chap ?"
agreed"
And they did, The "slate," as agreed
upon by these two astute old heads, was reg
ularly put through but when it came to the
State Prison Inspector, Dean and Peter qui
etly left the hall, went over to the syracuse
House, entered private apartment, pro-
ceeded to place themselves outside of cooling
fluids, and chuckled Just little. The Con.
vention nominated William G. Rhoades, and
that is about all the Convention did do.
The WIFE.-It is astonishing to see how
we'll man may live on small income, who

me live and make a far better appearance
on six or eight dollars a week than others do
on sixteen or eighteen dollars. The man
does his part well, but his wife is good for
nothing. She will even upbraid her hus-
band for not living in as good style as her
neighbor while the fault is entirely her own.
His neighbor has neat, capable and indus.
trious wife, and that makes the difference.
His wife, on the other hand, is Whirlpool,
into which great many silver cups might
be thrown, and the appearance Of the water
would not be changed. No Nicholas, the
liver, is there to restore the wasted treasure.
1t is only an insult for such woman to talk
about love and devotion.
A GOOD illustration was given lately in a
parish in Louisiana, by negro, in speech
