gart as Committee on Credentials The conven-
ton was such wriggling sort Of committee affair
as TO AFFORD very little opportunity for discussion
or speech making Mr., Folger had the floor and
managed to relieve himself to some lextent, both
on accepting the chair and leaving IT, In his first
effort he thought this manner Of eectIng dele
gates as they did in older and better times was to
open new era In the success Iof the Republican
party, and that he dared to hope for the election
OF The Republican ticket this fall by united labor
This issubime audacity IN Folger did not seem TO
fnd response, Every move made In the con.
vention showed how useless they thought their
work would be. Judge Heldenbrand twice spoke
OF having been the heiRepublican candidate pre-
ylousy when their ticket was elected and felt It
duty 10 accept now that the tables were turned.
About 10 OF 80 delegates were present and com.
mittee OF one from each township delegation was
appointed TO 6ll vacancies. In Jackson township
1t had not been thought necessary even to elect
delegates A committee Of one from each town.

During the greater part Of the proceedings an
Italian, in all probability subsidized in the inter
est of those delegates who expected to have dry
time, twisted out the beauteous strains of otis
years since last we met and 1--WE may not meet

no further business being before the convention
