iorelOck, they called their committee TO
meet on the 18th inst. This first call was
like spring thunder. it gave life to the reg
uiar wing led by Jsckman. Crawford and
hoCshen. The thought of having a march
stolen on them i, their minds meant the Sc
lection OF set OF delegates to the State
Convention and 4 series Of Cleveland reso-
luiions endorsing the policy of!his sd minis
trstiou aud urging him for the second term .
AL that might give the Gsruan, Conn Su-

The StaIwart Chairman McCshen, rosy
and bright from the highlands OF MaeedO-
MA Was early on the grounds and when the
Court House bell rang at . O'Clock p. NJ, IL
bad an aggressive peal that hurTied the
Committee into session. Il IS not pertineu;
to the question 70 here enumsrate how
many OF the other wing were present, bat
there sat DR.. Grubo among the faithful TO

Il was a notable love feast With Grub
and Nc Williams inside and the other dis
seniors hanging on tho rlgged edge out
eide wondering what on earth they should
DO on saturdsy, the time appointed for
their meeting.
The regulars passed resolution eadors-
ing Cleveland for denomination.
They praised him for his honesty &C.
Figuratively speaking they tapped him un
I ier the chin for his ant:-iarif message.

They endorsed everything about the
v hite House and Congress that the Fr.si- !
lent smiles on exceptin. Mrs. Cleveland, |
nd how it comes that they missed her is |
ot explained. Perhaps they left the Pres |
dents better half to the gaIlantry of the
iarrnan, Conn, uIouf people, for thsre is
good deal of gaIlantry among them, bat
that was the object in not mentioning
irs. Cleve'and's name they missed il, for

SATURDAYS CoNxrrrEE.
II the action of the committee OF the re-
;ulars on Friday did not N AXE the party OF |
iarmsn, Conn. and.S u!ouT feel as if they |
lad their eye teeth cut It caused ;hsm to |
'ealize that they hadacsPtured nearly all |
he Campaign thunder and that Il had come |

1t is not certain that the leaders sat up |
all Friday night nursing the situation to !
see what might be evolved to strsighten |
things so that the lead which was SO gal |
antly taken could be regain-d, but the |
told naked fact would not down. Taere |
stood the glariug fact, the regulars h,d |
stolen a march, had come IN one day ahead |
and IN the rush had won over one Of their !
chosen number ani coupled him with = I
favorite and successful regular as delegates
10 the state convention. There seem ed !
little lett for them, nothing but 4 wholsale |
endorsement OF the action of the regulars |
With puff tor Mrs Cleveland aud ofncs I
PeddIer Scott.
People sometime. count without their /
host and that to a cert in degree was the l
case here, tor the ulouff committee came |
is on Saturday in high feather.
sulOuf looked more Russian like than |
sver, just ss if ready to storm the citldal !
of the regulars, aud II any Of them frlt that /
they had been outwitted by the regular.
thew guarded well their feeling from the |
eyes OF outsiders. Some OF them talked !
like the fox that had lost lis tail in n trap,
aud for convenience sake urge all other !
foxes 10 cut of their tails, so some Of the
committee thought It best to get out of the !
dilemma by urging a complete endorsemsnt
Of the work OF Fridays committee, but
they all looked aSEanse AZ McWIllIans
They could'nt understand, aud TO give him \
. chance TO decline the Offer of Eridsy's !
or TO head him of or 10 provide I
for his non appearance at the state con !
yeation they appointed b. = Burchfeld al |
,srnSte for him.
The source Of the under cErr-nt of the
working of the brethrsn il not plain to every
one and II Is possible that it drws from
W sshingtou ID. G. ;or the committee WAS
as enthusiastic IN its endorsement Of CIeys-
land the regulars IL Is true II forgot TO
mention Mrs. Cleveland but then il went .
degree further than the regulars, Il gsvs q
hearty endorsement TO Congressmzn Scott
who is the ADMINISTRATION Office peddler in
Pennsy lvania, and Mrs. Clevslznd vas
present when Mr.. Scott delivered his late
sati tariff speech, 50 that in point of fac;
Mrs. Clevel,nd was not missed and the
g Garman, Conn Sulouf committee are in
the lead on the question OF administration
endorsement, and il the lead on orsanizati.

They were determined to stick TO the
regulars As close a. = brother, aad not ig-
more them in anything, and they chose the
