tain Childs is the right man, although
they voted for Douglas. It's a pity
some one didn't tell those people that
the first ballot was complementary to
give the ont Of town candidates po-
litical standing. Otherwise the con-
vention would have been cut short an
hour. At no time was the nomination
of Childs for attorney general In
doubt. The first ballot was perfume
tory, the second obligatory. If there
had been any doubt as to the result
the wires would have been pulled, and
the Schiffmans would not have been
released by Gen. Childs from the Ram

have, been given a rap to drop a white
ball in the bag. Nate Kingsley had
been promised the office three times,

standpoint was the logical candidate
