' And the delegate remained "uaeatd." Men were let ut of their delegations for any or no r-asoas. The only question was to hare the majority, or at least the loudest and most pugnacious minority. This latter, with the able aid of the chairmen aad the secretary, will enable any combination to jam through the nomination of their candidates. Snpposiac. for Instance, that Smith ts the candidate the "bosses" want, and Jones the opposition candidate. The Sereuth ward, we will say. is called on and the chairman of the delegation roars oat -Fourteen votes for Jon aad one for Smith.' Aa assistant secretary repeats to the main secretary . Fourteen votes for Smith aad oae for Joses.' aad it is so recorded
, The chairman fro the Seveath ward may think the vot of his delegation ( has bee recorded properly. SometiBMs. when thing appear to be run

The old stagers always enjoy these interludes. They smile grimly, get a fresh grip on their cigars and elevate t tbe weeds rominlsceatly In a skyward angle. They keep watchful cognizance 1 when their wards are about to bo i reached and. If chairmen, rise las' antly at the word, shout clearly the cte aad, whether it be recorded tight or wroag. they settle down stoically into the attitude of mere spectators. Far be it from them to holler" If the cards are "stacked" against them. They would do tho same If they had the power. The other fellows have the whip-baad today, when it shifts, they will give their opponents the same dose. But f3 cavort around oa the floor walllag out -Meestalr Chalrmaann." aot for them. They are too wise to resort to sach puerile foolishness. Nothing can exceed the perfect reTvse which marks tho proceediags as !aTes to the officers aad head mea whu have It la charge. There Is not a shadow of a smile oa the countenances of the chairman aad his assistants .and the "bosses" move around on the floor of the convention or ascend to the platform with an entirely serious aad virtuous air which would indicate extreme self-sacrifice aad Utmost absolute fairness to their opponents. But once the business is concluded, over the cigars and cocktails these genial gentlemen will unbend aad relate delightedly aad with rare humor the amusing comedies played oa the convention floor. They .have remem

They enjoy these things with

Then possibly a "boss'' gets up. or the chairman gets ia a happy remark or two .aad there Is a thunder-roil of applause from the bosses " gaag. The respectable gentleman haa simply talked for the pleasure of having! his cerebellum vibrate. He might as well have recited "Mary had a little lamb."
