assembling. q snap Convention is u cheap
sort of-well-lle that ought to be left to Mug
wnmps. whose armory Is full OF that sort OF
weapon. That to assemble the Convention
was in any way tho least unfair, or that It

OF New York. which Is just what Conventions
are for. is a silly and sinful perversion Of the
truth. Boilers from tho party harness have
sometimes had at least pretence Of excuse in

Van Huren. but the gettrrs-ar Of this May Con-
vention have none whatever: and you will find
