at a recent dinner at Vancouver Bar
racks, discussing popular novel Of

'The pathos of the book is really

widow. The good woman was about
to sell her household furniture, her

she was going over these articles her

been elected governor Of New York by
a huge majority and had shared IN the
Democratic victories OF 49, Every
body believed this would be a Demo-
cratic year and that Cleveland, al
though he had had absolutely no expe-
rience in national politics, would be the
man to lead the party TO victory
Tammany Hall hated him., and John

VentiOn. Henry WatterSon was there

day before the convention and adopted
the unit rult, binding all y delegates
to vote for Cleveland. There were p
Tammany men who were opposed 10
Cleveland and they attempted to start

an attempt was made to stampede the

cry was "a little more grape. Capt.
Bragg" Cleveland was nominated cas-
fly on the second ballot. and Hendricks
was chosen as his running mate.
