I&cUr AND DRIED" WEEKS AGO


 Tp-nfgflt, the Republican Town and |Cfty convention will be held. It will snonainate candidates for Mayor, City Clerk, etc., in the usual pre-arranged and well-lubricated manner Malcon- kents will be allowed to cast a few non-effective ballots and perhaps to |xnAke a few equally non-effective re- marlxs Really, the convention is a Rauperf9uity. It's action was "cut and dried'' several weeks ago at a con- sGerence between the machine mana gers and the district chairmen, when the latter received orders which have since been obeyed.
 The prdvates of the party-mere au- |t<H11atas>-were not then, and have not since been, consulted. They have no Spdce in the nomination of candidates Or the formulation of policies, and ap- parently they are too spineless to de- sire any It is even doubtful if they are aware of the fact that issues of Importance depend upon the coming election. It is almost certain that they do not realize the actual mean ing of the Posts citation of the rec ord of the Lee administration ass the
 main issue of the campaign, or of the Standards plea for an opportunity to s.do more along the same line;;'' it is absolutely certain that if they could be brought to sense the real meaning of these deliverances of the organs, they would nevertheless delegate their priv Gege of Judgment thereupon to the 0achine for they are mere automata.
 And so 'the' regular, well oiled, full pocket Republican machine as glee- fully described by the Post, will dorn- mate to-night's convention and will pull the wires for the dance of the puppets, as, has been the case in the past, with local and would-be county boss Rogers directing the farce from behind the scenes. The full pocket machine is for Lee first, last and all the time; it desires a vindication, as does the Mayor, as does the Post and as does the railroad, a unanimfty of desire which is easily gratifed in so far as the Republican automata are concerned. At the risk of being char acterized as "denagogic,' ,'' the Farmer suggests that there may be some con- nection between the 'full-pocket'' ot the machine, asserted as existent by the Post, and the railroads desire for vindhcation.
 The automatic convention, profes- sedly representing the automata but will assemble tonight and carry into effect the programme which was "cut and dried some weeks ago.
