1t is generally conceded and COM
mented upon by the papers that M. M.
Taplin acquitted himself with credit as
chairman of the second district conven-
ton at White River Junction last
week. Chosen upon the moment and
without preparation he made a very
acceptable address and presided in
most creditable manner. When it was
moved to adjourn for supper after
many ballots Mr.. Taplin suggested
that in his business as an auctioneer it
was the custom for the one who was
selling out to furnish the crackers and
cheese. This caused some amusement.
