The finger of kind fate points to the cleo
tion Of Horace Boies, history seems TO be
Waterloo and allies viii flock to his standard
which win destroy Mark Hanna's Napoleon
number two as efectually as the European
allies destroyed the French Napoleon number
one.
A Boies demonstration was started by the
Iowa deIeg alton. but made no progress till two
young women dressed in white in the south
gallery stood up, and wildly waving their arms
began shrieking for Iowa's governor. Some
body handed one of them a couple Of flags, and
by this time the attention of the whole con-
vention was directed towards them. and every
body faced that way The Boies banner was
handed to them, and between them they man
aged to wave it few times, and then sank
back in their seats exhausted
As soon as some slight degree Of order was
re-established the nomination Of MIR. Boies
was seconded by Nj. A T. SmithsOn, Of Min
nesota.
