fabrication reminds me of the interest
ing story told by Charles Lamb of the
Chinaman who discovered roast pig:
The hut of Chinaman having burned
down, and some young pigs that were
there among it's tenants having been
roasted the Chinaman proceeded to
deyour them with intense satisfaction.
He was so Well pleased with the viands
that he turned incendiary and burned
down several establishments belonging
to his neighbors, in order to roast the
pigs therein confined. He continued
his hazardous course until it got
through his Mongolian head one day
that the pigs might be roasted without
the burning of the dwellings,. 1t will
occur to any one who reflects a moment
that if there We're any papers in Har-
rishurg for which destruction was nee
essary for any purpose. it is not likely
that they would be carefully preserved
and filed awav in the public buildings.

In many counties the candidates for
gubernatorial honors submitted their
candidacy to q vote of the people The
delegates Were elected under party
rules. AT the convention AIR. Wana
maker, finding that he did not have
sufficient number of delegates to NOM
mate himself, withdrew from the con-
test and transferred his delegates in
body to another candidate, who num-
bered among his delegates many of the
most prominent organization men in
the state. The union of these forces
was not successful. and the convention
nominated another candidate. All the
contests brought before that conven-
tion We're decided in favor of Mr.. Wan
amaker and those With whom he COM
bined his forces. In not a single in
stance was a decision made in favor
of the prevailing candidate. On the
floor of the convention the fullest lat
itude was given to Mr.. Wanamaker
and his friends, and no decision was
made against their interests. The con-
vention was conducted in a spirit of
generous fairness, and no reasonable
person can find fault with anything
that was done in it's proceedings.
