not straight Ford, the present incumbent, was
long Democrat, and the st. Joseph county
delegation was solid for him, with the exception
of one mana Knight OF Labor. Mayor Nye of
LaPorte, was another lifelong Democrat, and his
county was instructed for him. Other lifelong,
honest Democrats, with strong followings were

who had given the years of their manhood TO the
Democratic cause, and were available as candi-
dates and strong in the district.
It seemed impossible that some one OF these
men would not be nominated, yet the South
Bend Tribune, leading Republican paper. in
the district and the State declared that Shively
would be the nominee of the convention, and he
was, and by one of the thinnest schemes ever
palmed upon political convention. A few of
his friends in the Knights of Labor met at
Mishawaka few days before the convention and
prepared a resolution which they said would be
presented to both the Democratic convention on
Sept. 8, and to the Republican convention at
Goshen one week later This resolution de
manded, in the name of 5000 Knights Of Labor
in the district, that the convention to which it
was presented should nominate Shivelv for Con-
gress. When the candidates were being named
at the Warsaw convention. this resolution was
sent to the secretary's desk and read. 1t fell
like wet blanket on the convention Old Dem
ocrats looked at each other aghast. One of
them moved to table the resolution,
aud this was done. 1t looked like Shively's
cake was all dough, but one of his Greenback
friends suggested that tabling the resolution
was an insult to the Knights of Labor organize
ton that would be resented. The suggestion
was made quietly, but it had its effect, and the
chairman. parliamentary ignorant, explained
that no offense was meant. and after painful
silence, during which one could hear Democratic
jaws drop, some one nominated Shively.
The candidates were then called upon to
pledge themselves and here was a painful pre-
dcament for Shiyely. He was afraid to trust

Why. Mr.. Senator replied the

to write the initials Of certain words
on leaving cards. For example, had
