The test of strength between the die
tatOrs and those who had already tasted
of the sort of syrup served by those die

called halt on the persuasion.
The earth began to tremble when the
reading of the resolutions introduced by
The committee had been finished and the

Lippman brought forth his laws OF what

convention strongly insists upon, to-wit:
that only faithful adheTents and Staunch
supporters of the American party be
named in all appOintive positions within
the gift of the American party: and be

Resolved, That should any candidate
nominated on the American ticket in this
convention, o. by the American party
ward conventions. after he shall have
been elected. fail TO carry out the pur-
pose and intent of the ideas herein ex-
pressed and which the members of this
convention insist uDon in the interest of
harmony and party responsibility. that

tactOrily explain his position to said CITY
committee that then in that event the
said city committee shall call upon said
offending member for his resignation. and
this resolution shall be the warrant for
the said city committee IN so doing
