parades with hurrah which after
all amounts to little, fascinating as
it may be to the old scheming poll
tician yet it's chapter belongs to the
bygone days, and the better and more
just plan is the public primary where
every qualified voter can express his

situation. The colored delegates all
deported themselves very nicely.
There were 6 of them. They voted
for the progressive men and principles
except one. There was many dis
