Then Mr. QuigR sat down and his eyes twinkled
more. lie had dropped into the hat a majority
Of the votes in the convention, and tho report of
Mr.. deuel. was already secure. Yet ButtlIng
apparently meant to make as much mischief as

down and roarci: ~ will when I get ready"
After this defiance Buttling demanded to
know why his name was not called to vote on
the motion to lay ITirsh's resolution concerning
Mr. Douel's report on tho table. Chairman
Woodruff informed him that inasnuch AZ the
First and Second Assembly districts OF Kings
wero in dispute. neither tho contestants
nor tho sitting delegations were entitled to
vote. Buttling attempted TO interrupt
woodruff again. but Woodruff snapped out
that the Chair Ind decided tho question.
Even then the Worth. Buttling folks were not
ready to give up tho light. Mr.. Worth camo to
the support OF his apple.cheeked lieutenant. the
Sheriff OF Kings county, and us ho began TO
speak he was greeted with cheers and Kisses.
Mr.. Worth in most philosophic fashion said:

with laughter. Mr.. worth's allusion to tho ma

There was another uproar ut this. but Worth

Both were eng ,ged in n huge game Of bluff.
They were bent on making all the noise they
could In order to cover their own weakness.
