A PRETTY MESS.
CONTINUED from page H.

Of those whose interest in party sue
cess was more personal than otherwise.
Evidence points to an increasing de-
nomination of party affairs by private
interests ascending superior to party
welfare. To the minds of many the
nlrpose of building up a powerful or
ganization for the party's sake has
been subordinated to the purpose OF
erecting a potent machine for George
Fred Williams sake.
The most prominent fact history VIII
record about the state convention just
held was the open alliance of the state
organization with certain elemsnts OF
the Boston Democracy. There was
time when the party in the state at
arge was appealed to to uphold me

1897 was an instance in point. where
the issue was clearly drawn on that
line, and the state rallied in force SUI

leaders whose underlying motives have
been gradually becoming apparent, has
warned the state committee that us
hold was becoming weakened, and thus
it found it eXpedient to cast about for
new methods whereby to maintain
itself and the leader to whom it was
submissive in all things.
The point to be gained. this year. in
the state committees view, was the
election of a delegation to the next ma
tional convention which could be de-
pended upon to support George Fred
Williams in any plan that gentleman
might formulate to secure to himself
national recognition. 1t was no ques-
