very weary is the nerve Of . sslf-
constituted board Of managers In as
suming to dictate the politics OF the
party in every matter Of moment.
1t was bad enough during the cam
psign when even the executive COM
mittee was dispensed with and Mr..

chairman's room, as II 1t were the
sole advisor needed. Had it not been
for the very fortunate condition that

No sooner was the legislature
elected than there were secret meet
ings at which we're selected officers
for the house, 1t being presumed, ap'
parently, that whatever this select
company Of managers did must Of
necessity be ratified by the members
Of the house. 1t is to the credit OF
more than a score Of those who were
with unblushing effrontery listed up
as stool pigeons Of the Leland'Al'
baugh combination have publicly de-
nouneed the scheme and declared that
they would not be so controlled.
J. 7. Pringle, man never before
heard OF outside his own county,
was selected at one OF these meet
ings OF half a dozen would.be bosses
and announced as the next speaker
when not half the house had ever
heard his name. 1t has aroused
much interest, not alone in tho west,
