The old fashioned ward boss has out
lived his period of effectiveness in Ala
bama 50 far as delivering votes is con-
cerned. according to a prominent state
official who has had wide political ex-
periences. The official did not care to
nave his identity revealed in connection
with his comment on the fallen state of
the ward politician, but he was positive
in the assertion that the boss of the
type referred to can today be of service
only by acting as "a barometer of con-
dltlons. He may furnish worthwhile
information as to the state of affairs
In his precinct, but he no longer carries
the influence in elections as of yore, the
official declared. :,
When asked as to the cause of the
decline Of the ward boss, the reply was
that personal contact with the voters
is needed to win today" In other
words, officials of the present age must
handshake themselves into office.
The capitol official cited a case from
his political history in the not distant
past, when he, was making a canvass
OF the voters and asking their support.
he did this in spite of the fact that
he had no opposition.
At one point on his ytriumphal pro-
cession farmer and his wife were
setting out potatoes. The candidate
gave the farmer an appropriate hand
clasp but neglected to walk over to
where his better half was at work and
solicit her assistance. He was informed
by one of his hackers in the campaign
few days later that he had been guilty
Of grave error, which would have cost
at least one vote in the election if there
had been any opposition. Voters of
today like to be hunted up, and their
assistance asked by the candidate him.

Turning Back The Pages OF National Convention.

HORACE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
THOR thirty years Horace Greedy
peppered the Democrats with bruis-
ing words. He helped to assemble
the opposition into the republican ma
chine that held fast the doors OF the
White House against democratic ten
nants. And his reward, strange to re-
late. was a presidential nomination,
not by orthodox republicans, rather
by the democratic party and by those
who, like himself, believed that the ma
chine should be thoroughly cleaned.
The liberal republican convention
in Cincinnati May, 1872, was the out
come OF widespread discomfort with
President Grant. Democrats and re-
publican liberals united in the cry
for reform. The civil service, Wash
ington departments, every branch of
the national government, in fact, had
been poisoned by the virus Of the
Grant Dynasty" according to the en-
thusiastic advocates of Reform assem-
bled in the Ohio city.
Those close to Greeley knew that ne
wanted the nomination, but not at the
sacrifice Of cherished convictions. In
the critical days preceding the con-
vention, the editor made clear his dis
approval of the free traders twho
threatened to dictate the platform. Sec
ond to the need Of reform, on which,
all agreed, the tariff became the CEN
trail topic of discussion, giving rise to
a bitter struggle in the New York del
egation, which finally decided to vote
for Greeley.
Senator Carl Schurz, one of the
strongest leaders in the movement, and
permanent chairman of the convention,
struck the keynote of the campaign in

a stirring arraignment of the admin
ties to support the liberal republicans
in their reform crusade.
Greely's ideas were upheld in the
writing of the platform, submitting the
open question of protection or free
trade on decision of the voters trans
mitted through Congress, and hailed
by one enthusiastic delegate as a New
Declaration of Independence"
On the eve of the nomina ton, one
faction slated Judge David Davis, ex-
ecutor of Abraham Lincoln, for Presi-
dent, with Greeley in second place, the
assumption being that Greeley could
not win the Democratic vote. Davis
was considered strong because of his
connection with substantial interests.
Another clique, engineering the COM
bination of Greeley for President and
Governor GRAFT Brown for vice pres
ident, succeeding in drawing delegates
away from Davis so effectively that
when the balloting started Davis was
practically removed and a decision
rested between Greeley and Charles
Francis Adams, of Massa chusetts.
Greeley was nominated on the sixth
ballot.

day it appeared that the allopathic
doses of Liberal Republicanism were
too bitter for Democratic digestion.

counted. Broken and disappointed, he
