had q grip on several Of the state Of

When It GOT out that this young man
held credentials straight from CieVe-
land as captain Of the hosts II. thaC
state and was expected TO send an in
structed delegation 10 the national cor.
ventiOD, there was war i'm camp and the
machine leaders cut out their work 20
Kill instructions and show the little
alien upstart' that he couldn't come
into the state and run things over their
heads
They knew that the people Of the par
~ were with the young man and ssnti4

FOR Mr. Cleveland bait they als1 knew
that in case of ultimate triumph all
along the line the machine would havs

friend Of the Man from BudalO hand
out the official plums and give orders
for future business. This made them
smart with resentment and the deter
minatien to show the young man" no
matter if it cost the nomination Of the
only man who could carry the party
to a national victory
The first move they made was to put
through the state central committee 4
new programme for the coming con-
ventien that did violence TO the preoe-
dents Of years and reversed the order
Of business in such manner that the
chairman could hopelessly jockey The
question OF instructions by a confusion
of amended motions.
But the young man saw just whore
and how the tight was shaping as well
as they did. BY long distance telephone
he placed the situation before MIR

chief Then he called q conference of
those interested in tieing up the delesa-
ton snug and tight with Instructions
for Grover Cleveland, and passed o1t
the word that the one job on hand was
10 agree upon every detail of the fight
in the convention so that there would
be no pounding the air, no false mo-
tiOns-every blow aimed and timed 10
do the heaviest execution.
Now, the young captain had touched
up with the mayor Of his city who was
as smooth as axle grease and knew
every party hanger-On BY his front
name And that is only another. way
of saying that the city executive had
a large list Of hungry hunters for Of

friend and warm q nice generous spot
for himself there. As things moved
along he brought a whole lot OF his
braves into the camp of my friend and
gave them recommendations that would
have done a candidate, for Sunday
school superintendent proud.
Like yourself, the young leader
thought he had found a friend that
would stay withAhim until the roof fell
in. and he Rugged himself every time
the mayors name came TO his mind.

When the night of the pow-wow came
