Chief Justice Salmon T.. Chase. who
had lately come back Into the Demo-
cratic fold after having Joined the Re
publicans during the Civil War His
Srooms were holding his bride tight
awaiting the right psychological mo-
ment. but they held him too long.
The chairman of the convention was
Horatio Seymour. former Governor OF
New York After a long and fruitless
balloting, his name. apparently without
MS own authorization. was sprung up
on the convention. He baked. rArus-
ing at first TO enter the race, but after
being whipped into tho ring won the
very next neat. He Was buried the
following autumn in the Grant land
slide.

Vention OF 1896 plunged Immediately
INTO the ring as dark horse. gaining
second place even upon the first bal

being pressed for third term against
his will. and Conkling's address nomi-
mating the old commander on that oc-
cason Is classic never to be for

Grant and Blaine forces became dead

compromise few delegates let Gar

On the thirty-fifth ballot this hither-

But, after all is said. this business of
breeding dark horses" Is a dangerous

The fact that most OF our vice.presI-

been weak men. whose succession to
the highest office woud have proved a

Grand Opera For Honolulu
Plan Of Local Enthusiasts

Planning to bring to this city for a
season of several weeks the noted
Lambardi Grand Opera Company.
which in the past few years has built
up what is said to be the most capa-
BILE touring organiZatin in the world,
Robert p. McGreer, manager of Ye
Liberty theater, has laid his ideas be-
fore several well-known music-lovers
and businessmen of the city. The
scheme has met enthusiastic support
from the outset, and If enough gen.
eral encouragement is shown, the pro-
moters will go ahead on their cam
paign for the most elaborate musical
productions Honolulu has ever seen.
In fact, if the present plans are sue
cessful, it will be the most notable
venture in the history of grand opera
companies on the road.
J The success of the movement de-
pends upon guarantee of financial
support The plan includes the issu-
ance of subscription tickets which
will assure a definite percentage of
the expenses of bringing the big grand
opera company here. The expenses
will be many thousands of dollars,
but Manager McGreer believes that
the venture would break even"
