There never, has been made in
the history OF American politics
so determined and unmanly an at
tempt to tie up the delegations, of
the states friendly to Mckinley. so
that they could not participate in
the temporary organization Of the
convention, as has been made this
campaign. 1t is also noticeable
that never before has the nomina-
ton of a candidate been so as.
sured before the assem- bling of the
convention as the nomination Of
Mckinley is now assured. This
condition teaches that bosses do
not always boss, and that the
masses have a very clear idea OF
what they want sometimes, also
that. when that idea is fully
formed it is going to have its own
way despite the bosses and their
machine. -. .s,r aa,.--,.0
