There are a giest j many things that aorae of our princqa' witne*.r* might tell which 1 am afraid we may have some difficulty in drawing | out, while a great many facts will probably never be brought to light at all.

Tbe | Blaine men complain, moreover, that they have been hatrayed by the mana gem in the manner of electing the delegates. The new rules provide for election by convention* rolled for the purpoee, or by a direct popular vole. When this question comes up, the machine, which Iswellorgaoized, points to the fad that the earley data of the Convention precludes the potibilitiy of adopting either of theee/expedienta, and tlioy up- left to the alternative of adopting the plan of electing by com mittee#, which i* palpably diasdvanta. genu* to the people a* against the ma chine.
