view, and the latter made a motion, which was
carried, for a division of the caucus before bal
loting, which division showed a large preference

arose, in the course of which some interesting
disclosures were made regarding the proceedings
of certain Clark lantern meetings" so called by
one of the speakers who had attended them and
whose name was on the list of delegates there
nominated. Another speaker who had irequented
these cOnclaves preferred to call them "secret
meetings" and objected strongly to the descrip-
