deliver up my manhood as deliver she vote which my ueighbo. s had me with J udjre Crampacker. 1 said ihat politics was ont thing and principle another and 1 would he guided by the latter. V.B a last resort they seut one of the best *.riend6 that 1 have to dissuade me from my purpose, but I said if friendship had to cease with mv voting the choice of our eaucus, I would still hold the trust of mv neighbors above the considl- - of old friendship. They saw that 1 would not give in ana let up. There was another Benton delegate who could not be dissuaded from his obligation to his constituents who were for Crum*, packer. But when Tie convention was called to order that delegate, 1 need not mention his name, was not to be found and 1 leave it to Mr. Hanly’s friends, who knew where he was, in what condition they had left him.”

And now the Crumpackeiites declare Hix a model of political virtue and integnty; that the other delegate who would not give in was made drunk bv the Hanly ites. On the other hand llauly’s supporters declare that Cruinpacker was nominated bycorrupt moths oils. In i 4 s convention notes the Tribune says: “ )ur l’ippeeauoe fiiends” h ve awakened to tLe fact that that the Lake county crowd are a trifle more advanced in political ma leavers than they gave them cr -dit for.— lhe Lake county Crumpacker beuteuauts have long known vhe value of holding something in reservo- of having something “up their sleeve,” as it were. » * * Politics is a game which two can play at, and the Tippecanoe organization which has been wont to knock down and carry out by reass on of main strength, must-concede that it lias met the enemy and capitulated. * * * * While tlu convention hall was evidently packed for Hanly the packing process had to cease with tue delegates and that is where Judge Crumpacker proved to be the better packer by just fiftystwohundicdths of a vote. It will thus be seen tlui Hanly’s friends claim that he was deteated by unfair methods and improper influences, and the Crumpacke r side side admit the charge, and oast of their cunning.
