was discovered that 2. NJ. Hail. who had been
on four tickets, had received more votes than
all the others. HowlS and yells rent the air,
the chairman climbed down from the table,
some one fired a brick at one of the smoky
lamps, breaking it into a thousand pieces. 1t

was decided upon, and an entirely new set OF
delegates were elected. Then the men on the
first ticket elected were wild. XIII the chair
man., Lynch the cuss," 'Put him out, ]"
and various other yels were begun, and the

policeman. No violence was offered him, and

he was scared out of years growth. The
first ticket elected was composed mainly OF
men flom the mills, and all of them were
swearing to down the Pillsbury faction. In
