The boss is}
frequently no smarter than other people.
Sometimes he is alt gether a saperior
sort of man of many attainments. He is
asually a plaasible schemer, and once
hie gets a reputation as a boss he becomes
powerfal through the fact that people
wanting favors give their boodle to him
for disbursement. He gathers about him
8 lot of fellows who either share the
profits or come in freely in the appor
tionment of the offices, and this aggregs
tion constitutes the ring. The worst
element of sociely may always be found
on the side of the ring and voting for
ring candidates. In return those who
have a little “influence” are given places
by appointment, or if they got in the
clutches of the law, are favored by all the
ringsiers in official places, and frequently
get off before they fall into the hands of
an upright judge.

The New York Tribune's statemennt
of the popular vote gives Cleveland a
mejority over Harrison of 98261. The
Chicago Times, with official returns from
all States but two and reported figures
from these States, makes Cleveland lead
Harrison 185546. The whole vote ap-
pears to be 11,247 857, Texas, instead of
giving Cleweland 135,000 majority, gives
him 163,262 over Harrison. The Times’
figures seem a ttle large, but that
