see what could be done
The Mckinley wing of the party,
which, by the way, hadn't ought to be
designated as a wing, either, because
there are nothing but pin-feathers on
it. was in session, turning down Harry

and the chair having thanked the COM
mlttee for renewal of its confidence
IN the ability and integrity of him
self as manifested by the vote, the am
bassadors from the silver wing were
admitted. With them came Layfayette
Holbrook, candidate for congress.
Mr.. Ldppman acted as spokesman for
the ambassadors and ministers plenipo-
tentiaTy.- He stated that a desire ex-
listed on the part Of the members of the
Independent committee for an execu-
tive campaign committee composed of
members OF the two organizations. It
was suggested by his committee that
this proposed committee be made I'D of
three from the Silver men and three
from the McKinleyites, the six 10 elect
their own chairman. He understood
the members OF the so-called atate com
mittee would agree with him that there
was no chance for Mckinley to carry
this state, hence it was necessary for
the Republicans TO unite on the ticket
for state and county offices, The organ
ization suggested by himself could
handle the business Of The state, legis-
Iative and county Offices. while the ex-
ecutive committee of the McKinleyites
would transact whatever they thought
best for the interest of Mckinley.

Rapp Of Cache did not think so, and de-

mated congressman and are now a
thing of the past" he exclaimed, why
should we bother with them?'

a ticket and that your men want to
get on it?" inquired joe
No, / do not. What do we care for
your ticket? We have a ticket Of our
own and we can run our own ma
chine"
1t was then that Joseph pulled from
his pocket a we'll written document and
mildly remarked: ITO convince YOU
that you do not know of what you are
talking, / exhibit here the certificate of
nomination of Mr.. Proutt, of the Eley-
enth senatorial district, which ne has
asked me 10 HE With the secretary of
state. This certificate must be fled this
evening or you will have no candidate
for the district l have alluded to. The
same condition prevails elsewhere. You
have got TO have your men on our
ticket or else have no one to vote for.
l shall suit my own pleasure about fill
ing this. But you are too late in
great many instances to get ticket on
the official ballot, and if you do not
