delegates to the Chicago Conven-
ton, was found on Monday in the
Bullion Bank. AS the writer en-
tered he found Williams just fork
ing over 500 for some stock in

well project.

to this artesian well scheme. /
have seen what big thing it is in
California, ard why not here?
eyes, 1 had good deal OF pleas
ant experience in Chicago, and
good deal that was-well, just ex-
Deiience.
Eyes, hotel charges were at high
water mark, and / had 10 pay
$37 so day for my wife, and three
! children and myself. But l saw
enough to realize that | was getting
u sight at big show at really
low admission. 1t was worth $500
day TO see the big Convention in

"No, the California delegation
would unite with 10 one. 1t was,

them and the Western States and
Territories we could have swung
about so votes, which would have |
been a big factor in the fight, and
we would have had more weight.
ayes, the California delegation |
killed Blaine, just as Bob Ingersol's |
speech killed Gresham; but it is all |
over now, and the result is SO salts
factory that no one has any right to

ticket grow like we'll watered hop
vine, you would have no doubt
about the result.

rich in the last few years
that people would suspect that his
riches had not come honestly. The
Democrats, even in Michigan, how
ever, all agree that ne never owned

luired.
1.-THE charge that he was buying
Southern delegates was all nom
sense. His managers had plenty 7
If money and used it very literally, I
,ut there was no crooked work, and
10 well informed men really be-
ieveG there ever was an attempt at
t. Alser would not accept nomi
lation under such circumstances.
cat the last the Convention felt
hat the nominees must come from
oubtful States, and Indiana and
lew York doomed up as the ones. 7,
