Armstrong, who was in the box for

said to be Thompson, Reddfng, stephen
son, and Meredyth. This list Is unau-
thorized by Mr.. O'Neifl, but is probably
correct. Steve, 1t Is said, wants his re-
lease, and Portsmouth will gobble him
up quick II they get a chance Meredyth
will be sadly missed by the bleachers,
and he is a good fellow. Thompson has
developed many characteristics of a good
a ll-player, with the few opportunities
given him. AS for Redding, the boy is
a favorite, with everybody, and the root
ers are making a kick on his release. He
has been playing great ball in right, and
is doing good stick work. The opinion
of those who a seen him play is that
his place will not be filled by a better man
and the general hope is expressed that
he will be retained. 1t would certainly
be a popular action, and doubtless a wise
one.

Included in his callers were members Of
the notification committee from several
states, who, in advance Of his possible
nomination. formally notified him Of that
event.
When in the uproar the procession Of
banners bearing the names Of different
states were started, there was a rush Of
Nebraska men for the Illinois delegation.
The Illinois standard was torn loose and
delegate started of with 1t. Before he
had gone far Governor Altgeld saw him
and had the standard brought back. The
banner was replaced. A moment later the
banner Of Missouri also appeared in the
line. Nov you can take IT, said the
governor. Missouri Is in line and 1 guess
we can afford to join" Then turning to
the delegates who surrounded him he
said: THAT was the greatesA speech I
ever heard made. 1 had rathey been able
to make that speech than be president.
Common men are sometimes made presi-
dents, but 1t takes talent and brains to
talk like that"
The recipiet Of all this honor made his
way with difficulty from the stage. For
ten minutes his friends fairly smothered
him with congratulations. When at last
he reached his chair on the floor, he
leaned back, seemingly completely ex-
hausted. One Of his colleagues famed
him, while the others of the delegation
hung affectionately over him and wrunG
his hand.
