committeeman, or Jafet Lindeberg's. as the case may be, made all the mo tiOns for the temporary organization from a paper he held in his hand. Mir. Shackieford sat directly behind him and issued several orders in a low tone. Chairman George Irving, of Ju- neau, read all the committee appoint ments from a paper, All of the names were Shackleford men. The protest ing delegates from the Third division were not allowed to name anybody. although in national conventions, even when driven by steam-roller process. each state names it's own members of all committees.
 Mir Shackleford complained that the opposition that he encountered from the Third division had added largely to the cost of his steam roller campaign He was particularly az grieved because one proxy on the old territorial committee had cost him a large sum of money to secure, when certain prominent man could have obtained it for him, he asserted, with out expense, but had refused the re- quest that he do so. MT. Shackleford mentioned freely that the freight bill of his campaign had been very heavy, but he did not disclose the source of the mazuma. Mayhap he considers that the business of nobody but him self and the contributors.

All for the Offices.

The reason given by Mir. Shackleford for naming the committee members from the Third division was that he did not intend to leave his friends in that division, small minority. un- der control of the majority. He made references to taking care of them hereafter, which seemed to indicate that he was proceeding upon the sug- gestion of the immortal Flanagan in the Chicago convention of 1880, What are we here for if not for the offices ?"
 The convention wound up with the bizarre proceeding of naming a com
 mittee to pick candidate for delegate to congress thereafter. This was due to the failure of Judge Wickersham to wire a stipulation agreeing to keep his hands eff the federal patronage. The judge seems to have beea too

 Forty-three votes from the Fourth division were cast by Thomas Lloyd, proxy, for the band wagon. It is mo- torious that the Fourth division has always been overwhelmingly opposed to ShacklefOrd.
 The Shackleford majority. at his behest, refused to allow the three fourths majority of the Third divi- sion to name it's own members of the new territorial committee. No seri- ous attempt was made in debate to refute the fact that in national. state, district and municipal conventions everywhere, in all parties, each poli tical division names it's own commit tee
