LOOKING FORWARD. An eerie tune the old wind sings When autumn leaves are falling; It walls the death of countless springs, In tones of winter calling. Goodbye to the song-bird in the tree, Goodbye to the summer rose; To June and the June-tirne ecstasy And love in a garden close. The splendor dies on every hill And fades in every vale; The old years heart is beating still, But like phantom pale. He tolls along with feeble gait His course will soon be run And haply we shall mourn too late For the deeds we might have done.

others were cast for Bates, Cameron
Chase and others. On the second ballo,
Seward gained eleven votes and Lincoln
Lincoln went ahead, having 2311s to
Stewards 80. Then Ohio changed -four
votes from Chase to Lincoln and gave
him the necessary majority. The packed
galleries cheered and cheered until they
, were exhausted. Joseph Medill the Chi
cago editor and leader of the Lincoln
forces. rejoiced with his compatriots and
with Lane and Curtin.
But ThurlOw Weed was disguised and
heart sick. He refused to suggest a man
for Vice President when tender of that
privilege was made to the Seward forces
Hannibal Hamlin was nominated on the

sore in defeat. but they were ashamed OF
their partys newly selected leader. They

The convention itself was very like the
convention which will meet in Chicago
this month. Its or
Little tOrmalltY ganZation was not
so perfect, admission
u the HdiI WdS cdsl-
er to gain, and the convention did not
have such a sense of self-importance as 1t
has today The first business it trans
acted was to accept an invitation to take
an excursion on the lake, which accept
ance was afterward reconsidered. The
convention thought it necessary to adj
journ one evening because the hall had
been previously engaged for an exhlpitlon
drill by Zouave company.
1t was a lively, fun-lovinS body. Hor-
ace Greeley was present as delegate from
the then almost inaccessible state of Ore
gon, and the delegates twitted him as
the gentleman from Oregon All the
free states were represented and there
were delegations from five of the slave
states-kentucky, Missouri, Delaware
Texas and Virginia. Only those states
present were read out on the first roll
call. A delegate asked for full roll call
and the names of Tennessee, Arkansas.
Mississippi, Georgia, South and North
Carolina and Florida were called, while
the delegates laughed, groaned, jeered
and Kissed There was a great fight on
the report of the committee on creden-
tials the question being whether the
slave states present were entitled to a
full vote in the convention. Then began
the wrangle over the southern states dele
cations which has continued through
every republican convention from that
day until this. Horace Greeley, in his
fear of Seward. attempted to secure the
adoption of rule that would have had
thirds rule. but failed. The convention
did, however affirm the electoral appor-
tionment.

Nisqually Dam
Doesn'r Leak

Commissioner Gronen and the
ity commission which visited the
leadworks of Green river yester-
lay were agreeably surprised to
Ind that the big concrete dam
lidn't leak.
When Gonen and Manley were
up a few days ago water was pour
Ing over the top and spurts as If
from a hose nozzle came out
through the sheet of water. 1t
fooled them. When the water was
turned into the settling basin 1t
was discovered these spurts were
caused by irregular projections on
the face of the dam,
The discovery that the dam does
not leak was big relief to Gron-
en- and the other commissioners.
They found, however, that there
was some undermining of the IL
take foundation and this will have
to be fixed up. The pipe between
the intake and tunnels also leaks
some in places but not seriously.
