suspended in order to carry out this
scheme to prevent free and untram-
meled choice of the party of its can
dates for supervisors. AS suspension
of the rules can only be had on two
thirds vote, these plotters did not dare
to proceed in the regular and legal
manner, but forced through their
scheme regardless of the rights of can
didates, of the rights of the members
of the convention, and in utter con-

stance the above as a specific fragrant
case where three or four men have\ as
sumed control and prevented the free
action of the party; but it is only one
instance of the way these few men die

party they style democratic. This is
mn he IL
lieves in the control by the people of
the affairs of their party and their
government can stand for such action.
1t is impudent to pretend that a party
governed and controlled by four or FIVE
men, who secretly, by questionable
and irregular means, override the will
of the members and deny to the con-
vention its free choice is the Demo-
cratic party. 1t is not the Democratic
party, it is trust, composed of Wal
Ter, Harvey, Ingham and their CT
ployes; call it, as you please, Be
Whiskey or a. Pawnbrokers Trust,
do not call it the Democratic party.
