convention held caucus just before the re-
assembling of the convention this morning,

agreed that Blaine and Sherman should each
have an equal number of adherents on

make the conventions work easy, but scarce

the more pronounced Shermanites began
kicking, and asserted that they would not re-
cognize any such agreement
