Representation in the Republican


Representation in the Republican
National Convention.
The Chicago liner Ocean reminds some
mistaken delegates to the Republican
League convention at Denver tina. their
body cannot change the basis OF rnpre-
sentation in the poxt Republican M
tional convention to nominate presi.
Dental ticket.
1t is odd tina. anybody has to BIO told
this. Nor can the change be mado in
the national committee, which is with
out authority in the promises. The ns-
tional convention OF tho Republican
party can make the change. There is
no other power that can.
Tho IrELLlGEycER does not agree with
the ntt- Oceau that the Denver conven-
ton will make mistake to incorporate
in its platform anything regarding the
basis OF representation in tho regular
nationa! convention OF the Republican
party. Anybody may recommend any

The duke of Northumberland, in
spite of his vast wealth, is very unaf-
fected and simple in his life. When
ever on a railway, he usually takes a

| determined to break him of this frugal
habit, and they filed his compartment
| with chimney-sweeps carrying bags of
SCOT. When the duke arrived at his
destination, he took the sweeps to the
booking Office and bought them each a
first-class ticket back again, and put
one in each frst-class carriage, sacks
and all.
