ebout as follows: Years ago, when Texas
tions were few and far between, when two
strangers happened to meet they intro
duced themselves to each other to establish
an acquaintance. and the second question
always was: "Wall, stranger. wnat old
state are ye from, and what mout your
name have been outen thar"
We notice now, however, that when two |
delegates to the republican convention, |
now in session here, meet ON our streets or |
In our hotele, who are strangers TO each |
other that the main question after they |
have given each other personal introduce
ton, is: "Ah, my dear sir, what position |
do you hold?" and 80 far, the following az
swers have been noted oh am United |

he holds" his eyes dilate, his mouth ex
pands, bis teeth glisten and he only replies,
"Sahl'i which evidently contains volumes,
as to mo Office" aud. perhaps, in time to
come, no vote for those he has heretofore
supported.
From the foregoing facts II Is easily to be
understood thst the convention IS entirely
In the hands OF the administration party.
But will IL instruct its delegates TO the com
ing Chicago convention to support Arthur?
Not much. The old political wife-pullers
that hold the leading strings in the conveu.
ton are too shrewd for tnat, o. II would
place them In dilemma, neither horn OF
which could they safely-for Themselves
afford TO take hold of. There evidently
will be no instructions to the Chicago dele
gates.
