prevent any persons to bring pressure
upon them. At the caucus rooms particu-
lar precautions were taken that none but
the members should be allowed to enter.
Besides giving grips and passwords, each
member was obliged to show his creden.
tials from the speaker. It would
have been as easy for outsiders to
obtain admission to the caucus as
for an uniEitiated man to get into a
masonic lodge.room. On account of the
late adjournment of the house, the meet
ing did not begin until nearly 9 O'Clock.
1t is by no means certain that the nomina-
ton will be made tonight. A new plan has
been in consideration this afternoon, its
object being to prevent the opposition
from learning the name of the nominee.
If the nomination is made to. night an en-.
deavor will be made to keep it secret until
the Joint session, and when the house
meets tomorrow, the vote will be scattered
so as to give no hint as to who the lucky
man may be. e
