Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The whole atmosphere at republican ma
tional headquarters is as different as pos
sible from the old fashioned, free-and-
easy way of running a campaign. 1t is
being conducted on strictly business prin-
ciples, and the whole thing is very much
like the way in which offices are run in a
business corporation. Relics of bygone
days occasionally drift in and are hope
lessly out of the picture. One of them
came in recently and seized on Chief Clerk
Hitchcock dignified, well-groomed and
businesslike, as that official walked down
the hall.

you?"

tell him important news. about the situa-
ton there and I demand to see him at
once, said the relic.
Mr.. Hitchcock fenced for a few mo-
ments, and gently drew forth the infor-
nation that the visitor wanted to see Mr..
Cortelyou in order to secure railroad
transportation back to Illinois. Then he
said it would be impossible to see the
chairman, as he was very busy getting
ready to go to Chicago. Great Scott y
yelled the survival, "he's going to Illinois

The Delights of Football.

What is the charm Of football? Why
do hundreds of thousands of people re-
gard a great football game as one Of the
events of the year? Do most Of the
people who attend games understand
the formations and strategy we'll enough
really to appreciate the game as a
game9 Or, if they do, is it possible for
them to see the plays well enough to APP
,preeiate the work of the Individual
players, or, indeed, to tell just how the
play was made? -. .'.-. II /
A very large part Of the pleasure de-
rived from football game by the spec
tators proceeds from partizanship. This
is proved by the fact that the dreariest
thing in the world to rooter for one
team is a game in which his favorites
20 to defeat. On the other hand, his
moment Of supreme joy is when his
team wins. Another part proceeds
from the grim satisfaction, the lurking
traces of savagery in all of us, take in
witnessing a contest in which conflict
ing physical force, the shock of man
against man, takes SO large a part. PEG
pie are interested in football games fol
somewhat the same reason that they
are interested in wars and 1rumors Of
| war.
A few appreciate game for it's ex
hibitions Of skill, preparation and ply
steal strength and agility. a few see
and understand the details Of every
game, but the average spectator does
not and cannot.
Most Of us like game. Of football
because we hope to see the other side
licked to the inspiring Accompaniment
of thrilling roofing, c:ashing cymbals
waving remnants and colors, and tn,
delirious abandon Of a great crowt

the following is part:

,Iowa's bad Man Plank. !"

The republicanism of Iowa is usually
regarded as of the genuine, unadul-
fterated, e1blown in the bottle brand.
Who ever heard of an Iowa mugwump2
And yet, Iowa republicans have not
only bolted the ticket, which few re-
publitans in this state have protested to
regar d as objectionable, even with
respett to one name on the ticket, but
they have gone SO far as to declare in
their authorized party statements that
under certain circumstances refusal to
support the party candidate is thoroly
|repubi Jean and commendable.
Back in the early seventies the re-
publican machine in Iowa became very
arbitr, Try and offensive, with the result
that quite a considerable body Of
young republicans declared their inten-
tion to revolt against its domination.
There we've not great many of them,
but they were organized and in earnest,
and they, made so much protest against
Objectionable nominations that they
compelled recognition, and in the con-
vention t,is 1873, under the leadership
Of "Rhet'' Clarkson, who was thoroly
saturated with republicanism, presented
to the convention resolution which
was adopted in the following form:
"To make an end of bad men forcing
their elections by securing the party
nomination, we declare it to be the duty
Of every republican to oppose the cleo

date, whether he be candidate upon
our own or any other ticket
