got Cleveland, now. By compromise, how
will it be at Chicago, under the unit ruler
well, you are right in one sense. and
wrong in another. We have Cleveland, it
is true, not BY a compromise; in that you
ore wrong. We had a majority at the Sar-
atoga convention, hence there was no COM
promise"
"Then he will have the majority of the
delegation at Chicago as matter of course,
and eventually the whole delegation?'

we didn't want to try. That's all there is
about it,
