recently that an important element

Lord Kitchener's plan Of operation in
South Africa, harsh though it appears

mercy is TO be extended to those in

Of the long drawn out war. II has

NATIONAL CONVENTIONS.
The "GaIIeries" Are an Important
Part OF Them as They Are
Now Conducted.

Goldwin Smith. describing In his
history of the United States the con.
yention which framed our federal
constitution, says that II "sat with
closed doors, as every assembly must
II it means really to deliberate, not
to talk to the galleries and the re-
portsrs."
Once In four years, after the great
national conventions for the nomina-
tion Of candidates for president and
vice president. says Youths Compan'
ion, many persons are of opinion that
spectators ought to be excluded from
these assemblages. 1t is not pro
posed to exclude the reporters, which
would be done were the doors strict
ly closed, In the sense referred TO by
Prof. Smith, but to limit the conyen'
tion to the delegates and alternates
the newspaper reporters and perhaps
q few distinguished guests.
The system which permits the pres
ence OF many thousands Of visitors
applauding and shouting, permits
them also to exert great influence
over the deliberations of the dele
gates, and renders the convention
subject to the control of passing fren
zies OF emotion.
As conventions are now conducted
the spectators, or, as they are popu
larly termed, "the galleries" play 1
not unimportant part. They do th'
cheering; they raise banners; under
an enthusiastic leader they have beer
known TO start q march through tn,
hall in behalf. of some candidat,
whose name is before the convention
The delegates are naturally influenced
by such demonstrations; and yet I
is far from certain that the galleries
typify "the people" outside, for th'
galleries are often packed in advance
with friends Of a particular candl
date.
However desirable more deliberat,
conventions, state and national, MAJ
be, the proposed change does noi
make headway. 1t would take away
half the fun" Of convention, snC
would thereby disappoint greai
number OF people. But, after all, "th'
fun" is the last thing to be cohsid
cred when men are selecting tn,
rulers Of the nation.

few changes will be made, excepting
for cause. This can be stated, with
confidence, by anyone familiar with
the operations of the department.
1t win be great disappointment
TO hundreds OF thousands Of repuh-
licans in the various states who
hoped to get into Office under the
administration OF the next four years
There are some $4,000 post Offices,
and the current work Of the depart
ment, filling changes caused by deaths
and designations, Is very heavy. The
post office department officials would
not unnecessarily undertake the enor'
nous work OF making anything like
