The herald., 1894-10-27


tai, used his votes to perfect their vari-
Gus combinations and won political vic
tory through his efforts.
The final, and for every reason the
most bitter and undeeerved slur hurled
OF him came from an old-time compan-
ion in politics from the Third werd, who
appealed to the convention to repudiate
the act of delege tion who were doing
the bidding OF "lunatic."
Both delegates and candidates were
willing to accept favors at Webber's
hands, but when he dared to ask for q
nomination the whole gang turned on
him like wolves. 1t would drsg down
the ticket, the iong-hairs would knife
them all, and general ruin would follow.
So he was jumped on, kicked, cuffed and
abused. Last night the friends OF the
various candidates, and even some OF the
men who publicly denounced the boss
in the convention, were around attempt
ing to square themselves, protesting re-
pentance. attempting explanation, and
willing to renew the oath of loyalty.
McLachlan's managers have been par
ticularly active, as if Webber should
sulk in his tent who would manage Nc
Lachlan's campaign? 1t is said, how
ever, that he feels so outraged at the
unnecessary ferocity displaved by his
henchmen and followers in their attacks
on him that he declines to accept the
explanation that it was necessary to
Jump on him in order to deceive the
'long hairs" into the idea that he had
not controlled the convention, and will
insist on running for the council.
