AN OLD READING CLERK.
Nicholas Bell Attracted Interest of
the Democrats.

One of the interesting figures of the
pre-convention gathering was Nicholas
Bell. who used TO be reading clerk of the
Democratic conventions. The sight Of
his spare, dignified. alert figure circu-
lating among the crowds inspired an old
delegate to tell a story of the conven-
ton OF 1884.
I'm that year" said he, BELL was an
enthusiastic Bayard man. As clerk it
was his duty TO announce the votes.
He would announce in a brisk, business
like, conversational voice, New York
casts so many votes for Grover Cleve-
land In a rather tired, listless, apa-
thetic tone he would say, Indiana casts
so many votes for Joseph E. Mcdonald.
And so IL would go until he reached
Bayard vote. Then he would
straighten that trim figure OF his TO
its full height and roar out in the voice
of a lion and with the intonation of a
tragedy king. The sovereign State OF
Delaware casts her six votes for
Thomas Francis Bayard.'
He had the friends OF all the other
candidates swearing mad. But it was
no use. And every time he let out that
roar there would be cataclysmic DEM
onstration from the Bayard men"

related it 10 a man at the other end of
