WILLING WORKERS.
Members Of the League Taking
Lessons in Politics.

The Young Men of King and Pierce
Shake Hands and go In for all
They are WOrth---EIectiOn of
Officers.
Members of the state league of repub-
ican clubs were prominent workers among
the different delegations this morning.
They seemed to be eager for the coming
fray, and the old-timers in the business
appeared to derive vast amount of salts
faction from seeing evidences of strong
political blood at the boiling pitch.
OF course they endeayored to do things
on the sly, but their efforts to be mys-
terious only served to make them all the
more conspicuous. Their own business
affairs had been nicely adjusted, and they
could devote their time to the events OF
the day without having their thoughts
diverted in other directions. Pierce and
King had exchanged courtesies in the
good old-fashioned way, spilled small
amount of bad blood upon the floor of the
theater, and then made everything all
right by fallin 8 into each others arms and
Pledging eternal fidelity and good fellow
ship.
