gotten lost while returning from
church. This is the story which he
told to Officer Morrow into whose
presence he was conducted. 1t was

When tho Democrats OF Massachusetts at their

yenton of 1900, which has not yet been called
II was thought by many persons that this pre-
cipItAncy OF Democratic partsans, especially in
a strong Republican State like Massachusetts
was grotesquely III advised, and there were many
protests among the Democrats Of that State az st
what they stgmauzed as "a practical denial Of
ycritable JeiIersonlan representation" The dele
gates were elected nevertheless, regardless OF
the fact that mono Of them yet knows or can
know 10 what city he Is accredited, when he is
expected ~ he Ia attendance, and what viii be
the nature OF the call upon Democrats toward
his election. II Is decidedly a case Of putting
the cart before the horse for the choice of dele
