2. j. Cary and John Rinck got their
heads together last evening while
reading the bulletins from the front
at Springfield and agreed on Il plan of
action that would settle the guberna-
toriaI question. imparting their rec
concentration in Il joint telegram sent
to Speaker Joe Cannon, the chairman
of the convention. Doubtless it was

durance. Each candidate is holding
his delegates as closely as he did be

morning. The candidates sit in front
and keep their eyes straight on the
delegates when they vote to see that
there is no double-crGssing. 1t is won
derful the hold that is retained on the
delegates. Such loyalty was never be-
fore witnessed in a convention in my
memory. Every coup known to the
game of politics, and there is almost
an ineXhaustible number of them, has
been Tesorted to without result. Here
tofore the big fellows have been able
to agree. But this time they are up

must stick. To desert him means that
they will lose their positions. So YOU
cannot blame them for holding out
for their man. Combinations Of all
sorts have been tried. hut they have
failed. The candidates. sitting on the
