Old draught, or checker" players hold 10
the belief that the game is decided by the
first "move" made on the board; careless or
ill-adrisPd placing Of the first "man" and the
mover becomes already the loser. Some
thing the same rule might be taken TO hold
good with regard to local political checker
board, upon which attention of politicians and
people is now fixed. The Republicans had
the first move" and made it last night.
The important bearing of the action was ap-
preciated to the full by all classes of citizens,
shown in the attendance last evening, on the
Republican city convention. held in Blacks

among them representatives of every
political party, Democrats and Others
msnifesting nearly as deep an
interest in proceedings as Republicans them
selves The feeling, which occasionally
found expression, was that, if mistake
were made aud the nominations of such
character as to put the party on The defer
siye, the chances OF the other party were in
creased by so much and of this or that pros
pective candidate 10 the same extent. On the
other hand, good nominations, to which no
reasonable man could take exceptions, would
be regarded harbinger OF sure success. The
opening of the doors was he signal for an
inward rush of the waiting multitude, and
seats ali over the house were soon filed and
standing room at premium. There was
roar OF voices until 7:l2, when Chairman
John ". Parsons of the Central Committee
called the house 10 order.
