of sdlaes Of Tams BiXby's old cam
paign7sDf terial. Then he read:

their raItegiance to the party and it's
cardinal doctrines.

money .(Applause). We oppose a de-
based Currency. We favor the use of
both silver and gold as currency, but
only on such terms as shall maintain
their parity.
We believe. in the doctrine Of pro-

Mr.. Richardson had not handed the
resolutions to the secretary when HI

rising vote"
mo, no, no." came from various
parts Of the house.
But the motion was put
Then for the first time appeared the
injudicious distribution of the seats.
The First and Third wards, which had
been given the baldheaded rows, so to
speak, were the least enthusiastic, and
there was no, restless shuttle Of feet

Get up, come on and bowls of
derision greeted the patient opponents
of Cushman K. Only Sam Lowenstein

by the outburst. If these delegates had
been seated somewhere else it would
not have been so conspicuous.

First, Third and Eighth, with a few
scattered through other wards, stood
pat, but there were not enough of
them.
The machine had, convened. The con-
hict was over. A motion to adjourn
was put The delegates tried to think
what they had overlooked, for they
knew they had not done anything.
Then they remembered that they had
voted aye on everything the gang had
proposed and they did so again.
