cinct of each district there was get
ting together which leaves in the field
only one ticket before the members of
each club. The method employed was
the comforting of representatives of
each wing of the party, their reach
ing a decision as to the men to be
chosen and the resignation from the
ticket of those on either side selected
to be left at home, There was but one
