TAS.LNO A DEMOCRATIC STAND
We shall publish in to-morrow's Post a
declaration of adherence to the great national
principles of the Democratic party, and an
expresstcin of disapproval of the Anti-Demo
cratic action of the Convention in refusing to
adopt a Democratic platform, signed by a
large number of members of the Democratic
party, who are unwilling to be considered as
agreeing with the Convention in placing a lo
cal issue over and above the principles which
lie at the foundation of the Democratic or,
ganization„ :
We shall also re-publish the declaration
made last year by the Convention and by sev
eral prominent Democrats, in regard to this
very issue of railroad taxation, which has
been this year allowed to override and swal
low up the true doctrines of the Democratic
party.
It is greatly to be regretted that the De
mocracy has allowed things to get into their
present position ; but they see their error, or
rather the error of the managers of the Coln
vention, and will provide a remedy. They do
not think. his remedy lies in the Anti-Demo
cratic and unusaal movement of calling a new
Convention, for our opponents desire nothing
more heartily than a division in the Demo.
(ratio ranks, but in a bold and fearless enun
ciation of the great principles which have
guided them i n times past, and which will
continue to rule their actions in time to come.
A SHORT OA.TECHISIII FOR POLITI
Ist. If the adoption of the anti-tax resolu•
tions, and nothing else, is binding upon the
members of the Democratic party who honestly
differ with the Convention as to the propriety
and policy of the course which it pursued, in
refusing to enunciate and endorse the well
established principles of the Democratic par
ty, as carried out by the public men of the
party, is not the obligation to pay taxes for
-railroad purposes, by parity of reasoning,
binding upon those Who either objected, or
- remained silent when the subscriptions were
made, as well as upon the six or seven thous.
and who affixed their names to petitions,
urging these subscriptions to be made ?
2d. If the doctrine of " let by-genes be by
gones " is to be accepted, is it right, or just,
or fair, to hold those who are Willing to main
tainltheir op' 'ons, and stand by the acts
which they h e done, to a more strict ac.
count than tho'e who were "deeper in the
mud" at the outstart, but whoa have lacked
down from their position at the sacrifice of all
their former principles.
3d. Can Dedocratic candidates receive an
endorsement from a Know Nothing Conven , .
tion in silence, and still be considered as un
blemished Democrats, deserving t!e confi.
dence of the party ?
4th. Do the members of the Democratic
party wish to be led by Thomas Williams,
who made the Republican party, and by those
over whom he has obtained an influence,
even although they may claim to belong to
the National Democratic party ?
sth. Is any true Democrat satisfied with
the refusal of the Convention to declare the
well established principles of the party, and
endorse its public men and measures?
6th. Are not those, through whose influ4
ence this stigma has been cast upon the De.
mocracy of Allegheny county,
,beginning to
regret the.folly of their course ?
7th. Will not the nine thousand Democrats
of Allegheny county,in supporting the ticket
which the Convention has nominated, as they
are bound in honor to do, vote for those who
did favor and vote for railroad subscriptions,
as well aglhose who did not—all being alike
Democrats?
Bth. Is not what is " sauce for the goose
sauce for the gander ?"
A.lB TI.TAX CATECHISM.
The True Press of Tuesday publishes the
questions which it suits Thomas Williams,
an acknowledged Black Republican, to prow
pound to the Democratic nominees for the Leg
islature. If, as Democrats, they submit to this
catechising from their opponents, they will
render themselves ridiculous. If the People's
Anti-Tax illonvention choose to endorse the
Democratic Ticket, that was their own
concern ; the Democracy certainly will not
object to-their votes, but this ticket was select
ed by the Democratic Party with a full knowl
edge of the character and antecedents of the
men placed upon it, and we hope, their faith
in the party which nominated them, as well
as their own self-respect, will prevent them
from paying the slightest attention to Mr.
Thomas Williams' questions. NO true Dem ,
ocrat will tamely submit to such Black Re%
publican impudence, and we hope the Demo
cratic nominees for Assembly will so regard
the matter. Let Mr. answer his
own qbestions if he chooses, but we deny his
right, and the right of any committee ap-
pointed by the Anti-Tax Convention to cate
chise the Democracy of Allegheny County or
their nominees.
If the Democratic nominees wish to indi
cate their opinions to the people, we respect
fully suggest that they answer the following
queries, inasmuch as the Democratic Cone
vention which nominated the ticket, allowed
itself to be diverted from consideration or
endorsement of all the important national
issues of the country, by the intense desire
of a few managers to construct a platform out
of a single stick of timber which has grown
up within a few yea:s, and which they consid.
ered better stuff for the party, than those
tried principles which the " Democratic
Hearts of Oak," who have never swerved
from their party fealty, desired to stand upon.
Let the Democractic candidates tell us.
Ist. What are their opinions of the foreign
and domestic policy of the present adminis-
CIA.FIS.
ret , '
tration.
2d. In what esteem do they hold the acts
of our present Democratic Governor.
3d. What are their views respecting the
tariff, and if:the necessities of the public trea
sury shall require its re-adjustment for pur
poses of revenue. Are they in favor:of or op%
posed to such discrimination as shall do jus
tice to the manufacturing interests of Penn
sylvania ; or are they favorable to the doc
trines of free trade.
sth. Do they favor our present Bank•
ing system, or will they advocate such Legis
lation as will more surely protect the people
from the danger of loss from an inflated and
unsafe issue of paper by Banking corpora-
Lions.
sth. What is their position upon the ques
tion of popular sovereignty.
Inasmuch as the Convention which nomina
ted them has given them no Democratic plat
form to stand upon, it might be wisdom on
their part, to place themselves upon the plat
form of the 'national Democratic party, by
answering such questions as these, if th - ey.see
fit; but as Democrats they will surely not so
belittle themselves as to reply to these ques
tions put to th 33:1 at - the instance of the man
who boasts that he made the Black Republi-
can party.
Will the candidates answer?
WEEKLY POST CLUBS.
We are under many obligations to our nu
morons friends in the western counties 01
Pennsylvania, for the interest which they
manifest in extending the circulation of the
Weekly Post. We are daily in the receipt of
clubs of from five to twenty-five names from
Butler, Mercer, Beaver, Lawrence, Indiana,
Cambria, Armstrong, Clarion, Westmore ,
land, Washington, and other counties. We
spare no labor to give our readers a sound
Democratic paper, as well as a first class fam
ily journal. The Weekly Post is published on
a mammoth sheet, with large, clear, readable
type. It always contains a fair amount of
literary matter, such tales, sketches, anec
dotes, historical and biographical matter, po
etry, &c. It also gives each week a full and
complete report of the Pittsburgh Markets,
the Allegheny Cattle Markets, and correct tel,
egraphic abstracts of the markets of New
York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and all the
principal cities of the country. All the in.
teresting local news of the Western District
of Pennsylvania is carefully detailed in its
columns. The politics and other exciting
tppics of the day are fully and temperately
discussed in its columns. It is the only Dem
ocratic paper published in English in the
county of Allegheny. As a medium of reach
ing the Democratic readers of Western Penn
sylvania by advertisements, it has no rival.
The Fail Business is commencing, and those
who desire to keep posted in the current com
mercial transactions of the season should sub•
scribe for the Weekly Bost.
The Fall Election is at hand, and those who
desire to procure early and reliable Demo
cratic information in regard to the progress
of the campaign, should subscribe for the
Weekly Post.
Those who wish for a good family journal
from which all objectionable matter is care
fully excluded, should subscribe for the
Weekly Post.
Those who wish to take a good news
paper, in which all the current news of the
day is carefully collated, should subscribe
for the Weekly Post.
Those who wish a cheap newspaper should
get up etubs for the Weekly Post. This mam
moth journal is furnished in clubs of five at
only one dollar per year.
Thankful to those who have added to our
list by hundreds, within a few weeks past, we
say to every Democratic reader—get up a
club. It is a matter easily accomplished,
and we will insure to each subscriber a paper
worth four times the price we charge for sub
scription. In all cases the money must ac.
company the names of the subscribers, or
the papers will not be sent. Single subscrip
tions two dollars per year. In places where
a club has already been formed, persons can
come into it for the remaining portion of the
year, by paying the proportion of a dollar.
Now and then the jolly farce of firing men
for gambling is enacted before some of our
magistrates. It is of course the duty of the
magistrates to punish all parties who are
convicted before them of a breach of the laws
against gambling, but the farcical part of the
arrangement is that the persons dragged up
by the officers are generally some poor
wretches who are caught playing five cent.
poker, while the broadcloth and fait horse
gentleman about town, who play the big game
of hundreds and thousands, are utterly invisi
ble to the police. The glistening broadcloth,
the massive watch chain and gentlemanly ad
dress of these exceedingly sharp individuals.
who are ever on the alert for idiotic gentle
men, with their pockets full of money, seems
to have a sort of mesmeric effect upon the
police officers. No one has any sympathy
with him who is fool enough to get cleaned
out by gamblers. The fleeter and the fleeced,
are both on a par, and should be sent to some
well conducted Asylum for fools. The sup%
pression of gambling, we know is a difficult
matter, but fining the small fish and letting
big ones slide,_ will never accomplish the ob
ject. The course of the police in suppressing
the low dens where Sunday gambling is car..
ried on is praiseworthy in the highest degree,
but the apparent difference which is made
between gamblers for gold, and gamblers for
coppers, has anything but the appearance of
even and exact justice.
Northumberland County
The Democrats of this county have nom
nated the following ticket :
Congress, Wm. D. Dewart; Senator, Wm.
Follmer ; Assembly, Charles Hottenstein ; Reg
ister, Jacob B. Masser; Commissioner, Joseph
Everitt, Jr., ; Auditor, Charles Little.
The manner of chosing a ticket in this
county is by popular vote. For Congress, Mr.
Dewart received 1176 votes to 786 for J, J.
Reimensnyder. The Democratic Convention
of Schuylkill county having already nomina
ted Mr. Pewart, he will be the candidate in
the Digtrict.

GAMBLING
[For the Morning Post.]
Mr. Editor : —By a cell in your paper, I die-
cover that a convention of Democrats is to as
semble on the 15th inst., whose object will be
to attend to the unfinished work of the late
regularly organized Democratic county conven
tion. This last convention, refused in the most
peremptory manner, to endorse the administra
tion of Mr. Baohanan, end offered an unbecoming
ninth to the Hon Win. Wilkins, whose personal
and political friendships toward the president
are well known, by denying him the privalege
of making resolutions to that effect. I presume
in attending to the unfinished business, the com
ing convention, will consider this the main ques
tion.
In forming this oonvonti on, it is very plain to
any mind, that the delegates and their constitu
ents, will be considered by all good Democrats
ae disorganizers, and will be expelled from the
party. This was the administration mode of
dealing with the Kansas disorganizers, and tho
same line of policy should be extended to this
branch of the national Democratic party, so
that we may distinctly presrva the m ain organi ,
nation from Black Republican trickery. The
convention for the 15th, will certainly rpsnit in
good for the Black Republioan Know Nothing
nominees, and I have no doubt that this is the
only aim of the signers of the call.
If the Democracy of this county in their pri
mary metting sent delegates to the county con
vention with instruction to adopt certain meas.
ures, it is but due to the Democratic organiza
tion and the regularly appointed executive com
mittee which called the convention tcgether,
that the action of the convention should be sus
tained by voting for its nominees in October.—
In Kansas, the people desired one thing and the
oonstitutional convention did another ; and al,
though it was in direct opposition to the will of
the majority, the President recognized the work
of the convention as legal, and excluded from
the Democratic fold many good and true friends,
who believed him to be wrong. This sacrifice of
true friends was made, and the Democratic par
ty saved. He charged that the Free State men
of Kansas refused to vote at their primary elec
tions. This same charge will apply to the (Rs
organizers in our county.
If the late Democratic county convention was
°lmposed of members representing the minority
of the Democratic party, it is fair to presume
that the majority remained away from the polls
at the primary meetings. I believe, however,
that the convention fully represented the will of
the majority, and lam bound to sustain it. If
it had not, I would, as a Democrat, be compell
ed to support it, under the late decision, or leave
the organization. ,
It is but fair that these disorganizers should
know that they are standing on slippery ground,
and that if the Democratic ticket is defeated this
fall, the high crime of treason, on their part,
will be the cause ; and that this treason will be
punished with political death is fully proved by
the reocnt decapitation of Democratic heads by
the chief officer of the Democratic organization.
Beware 1 gentlemen, and BOSSne from the

Governor Danver, of Kansas, has recently
published a letter by way of a reply to unan
imous petitions presented to him by residents
of that Territory, requesting him to convene
an extra session of the Legislatnre. The
Governor declines to call the extra session,
showing that at the present time there are no
members of the Legislature whose official
terms have not expired. He also expresses
the opinion that the next election should be
held under the last apportionment, according
to the act of February 20th, 1857. He con
cludes by saying that he had consulted the
President and the Attorney General of,the
United States on this point, and both agreed
that the next election should be held under
this apportionment.

The Working of the Atlantic Telegraph.
The slowness of the signals through the At
lantic telegraph cable does not depend on the
retardation of electricity in passing through the
length of the wire. If the wire were suspend
ed in the air, there would be no difficulty in
transmitting as rapidly as the instruments could
be worked; but when the wire is covered with
glade pantie, and immersed in water, it retains
the electricity, and the charge once communi
cated to the wire requires some time for its dis
charge. The first signal made is transmitted al
most instantaneously through the conducting
wire to the instrument at the 'other end; but the
wire does not really part with the charge, and
the electricity it retains prevents the effect of a
second signal from being perceived on the dis
tant instrument. This peculiar effect begins to
be perceived in an immersed wire at a distance
or fifty miles, and increases in force as the die
tance increases, so that at two hundred miles
communication by Morse's telegraph would be
impracticable, unless means were adopted to
counteract the detaining influence of the exter
nal conductor. When the telegraph to the
Hague was laid down, the difficulty of transmii
sion through a submerged wire became for the
first time observed, and the Morse instrument
then employed would not act in consequence.—
Bat the difficulty was shortly overcome by die
charging the wire after each signal, which was
done by Sending an eleotrical current in the re
verse direction. With the needle telegraph the
effect had been scarcely perceived, for in the
ordinary working of that instrument, the elec.
trical currents are continually reversed; but
with the recording instrument, in which the
electricity operates always in the same direc
tion, a special arrangement for reversing the
current become essentially necessary. How far
that arrangement only will suffice to clear the
wire has not yet been determined, but it seems
evident that it is insufficient for the Atlantic
table.
If the difficulty that has arisen, were owing
to the retardation of she electric current,
there would be little hope of its being over.
come, for the natural velocity of electricity
could not be increased ; but when it is known
that the slowness with which one signal follows
another is attributed to a peculiar condition of
the wire, which hag been effectually neutralized
by special arrangements for a distance of two
or three hundred miles, it may bo reasonably
expected that other contrivances may be adopt
ed that will overcome the difficulty even across
the Atlantic.
The detention of electricity in the submerged
wire, is to be owing to induction," and by thus
giving the effect a name, the cause may he sup
posed to have been discovered. The induction
of electricity is, however, a subject so imper
fectly known that there is no advance made to
wards understanding the difficulty that now img
nodes instantaneous intercourse with America,
by giving it that name. It is much better to
state the effect, and to admit that the cense is
unknown. The question will then be untram
melled by any foregone conclusions, and those
who set themselves to solve the problem, will do
so with greater probability of success. The facts
aro these : A wire suspended in the air will
transmit several hundred telegraph signals in a
second, but when the same wire is coated with
gotta-percha and immersed in water, one sigual
will not follow another across the Atlantic more
rapidly than twenty in a minute. It remains
far scientific men to discover the reason why the
wires act 30 differently under these circumstan
ces, and to find means of overcoming the difficul
ty it occasioins. When that has been done, the
signal wire that now serves as the line of com
munication between Europe and America, will
transmit as many words in a minute, as it now
requires an hour to work through.

The pacification of Asia is at this mamcnt
likely to have an important influence upon finan
cial affairs, by realizing the anticipation of a
depreciation of gold from its abunibcce. When
the gold deposits of California were first verified,
the depreciation of that metal was assumed as
certain, more particularly in its relation to
silver. Ten years have now passed, and in that
period as much silver has been sent to Asia as
there has been gold arrived from the mines.
The silver of Europe, has been exchanged for
gold, without producing visible effects. It was
supposed that the mere supply of gold would
lower its relative value to silver, the latter re
maining the same. But the active demand for
silver to go to the East has been as large as the
supply of gold ; and yet this double effect of the
supply of gold and the demand for silver has
left the relative value just where it was before,
viz: 15 to 1. We may illustrate by a table of
the product of _Australia and California in each
year. Tho receipts of silver from Mexico and
the West Indies at Southampton in each year,
and the exports of gold and silver to Asia in toe
same time, were as follows :

Thus the supply of gold bas been nearly
$600,000,000, apinst silver, sl4o,ooo,ooo—and
a drain of silver for the east of $290,000.000, a
net decrease of specie of $150,00C,000. Yet the
price of silver remains the same in London, the
great neutral market, where the silver of the
world comes and is sold as a commodity, the mot-
al not being standard in England. An ounce of
standard gold sells at the Mint at £3 lie. 93 ,
or 9881 ; and its relative value. to silver being
held at 1. to 15. 2., an ounce of standard silver
should be worth 6111. ivay now take the
aotual selling price of silver in London in the

Thus under the heavy export silver has no t
risen, on the other hand it has scarcely main
tained its official valeta. The highest price of
silver was in November, 1856, when it sold at
621-d. per oz. This has been a curious result of
the supply of gold; but the reason is obvietr+,
since the demand for both metals is for currency,
and if 119 long as grid is substituted in currency
for silver in proportion to this rapidity with
which the latter is drained off, thorn will he no
rise in the value of the latter, because its Eu
ropean demand is relinquished, as the Asiattio
demand increases; or in other words, the Asi
atic demand for silver, is compensated by a Eu
ropean demand for gold for currency, whioh de,
wand contracts the effect of supply. It eeMS
to be the case, that one half of the human race,
the Remotic half, use silver for currency in
preference to gold, while the large commercial
nations of Europe prefer gold. The effect of
the gold discoveries has been to make this divi•
sign more marked and complete. Thu demand
for Asiatic products, has been so ranch greater
as to cause a great demand for silver, which has
been drained from the channels of circulation in
Europe, to make room for the gold that has been
poured in. The currency of the European world
has not therefore increased, it hoe only substitu
ted gold for silver. The accession which l•a s
been realized by the new mines has gone to Asia .
The question now presents itself, will the Asiat
ic demand for silver increased, or even continue
in the next ten years in a ratio equal to the gold
product? If it does, the effect of the i nereased
supplies of gold cannot manifest itself. It
should not +continue, then arrivals cf gold from
the mines will give a new stimulus to rising
prices of all commodities+, which will be tile in
dex of the depreciation of gold and silver bot h.
The mixed currency like gold arOpaper, rill de
preciate together. Should at the same time
any portion of the silver return from the East,
the stmnlation •to prices will be so much the
greater.

Extraordintry lnnlance of Hoarding
A remarkable instance of the mania for hoard
ing up money has just been brought to light in
the Faubourg St. Germain during the press of
taking an inventory after the decease of en olfl
woman, who for many years hail lived in a very
retired manner in that part of Paris. When the
notary who was engaged in this operation went
down into the cellar to take an account of what
the place contained, his attention was attracted
to a small opening just over a low door. This
door was opened, and the notary found himself
in presence of an immense pile of bags of money.
In order to take them out and count their con
tents he was obliged to send for nearly all the
clerks of his office. There were in the bags a
quantity of gold and foreign coins, but five-franc
pieces formed the principal part of this rich
store. Some of the bags were completely rotten,
and fell to pieces on being touched. The inven
tory is not yet completed, but the amount of this
treasure is estimated at not less than a million.
The origin of this immense fortune is as follows :
About ninety years ago, a_poor Savoyard h)y
from Chamouni came to Paris, and engaged him
self in singing and dancing in the streets, and
at other times in sweeping chimneys. At the
end of a few years he had saved up a little
money, and commenced business on his own ac
count. By dint of industrious economy he at
length beoame a wealthy man, married, and at
his death left his widow 80,000 francs a year.
She scarcely spent 6,000 francs a year, and the
remainder she put in bags and throw through
the above mentioned opening into R sort of cup
board in the cellar, where these thousands of
francs remained until she died at the age of
eighty-eight. She had besides purchased sev
eral houses, and was the owner of the Theatre
de. Luxembourg. 'By her will she has left 2,000,-
000 francs to the hospices of the city of Paris
300,000 francs to other charitable establish
meats, 20,000 francs to her servant, and seine
legacies to distant felatives of her husband, who
still live in Savoy. Her notary and avone are
instituted her universal legatees.
The following, written by the eminent Chief Jus
tice Story in 1838, is worthy of the especial comid
mration of legal gentleman at the present time. Ey •
cry young lawyer should paste it in his scrap-book,
and every time he has a case to try, read tt alone
befere going to the court :
Whene'er you speak, remember every cause
Stands not on eloquence, but stands on las - a—
Pregnant in matter, in expression brief,
Let every sentence stand in bold relief ;
On trifling points, nor time, nor talents waste,
A sad offence to learning and to taste;
Nnr deal with pompons phrase ; nor o'er suppose
Poetic flights belong to reasoning prose.
Loose declamation may deceive the crowd,
And seem more striking as it grows more loud ;
But sober sense rejects it with disdain,
As nought but empty noise, and weak. as vain.
The froth of words, the school boy's vain parade
Of books and cases—all his stock in trade—
The pert conceits, the cunning tricks and play
Of low attorneys, strung in long array,
Th unseemly Jest, the petalent reply,
That chatters on, and cares not how nor why.
Studious, avoid unworthy themes to scan,
They sink the speaker and disgrace the man,
Like the false lights by flying shadows cast,
Scarce seen when present, and forget when past.
Begin with dignity • expound with grace
Each around of reasoning in its time and place;
Let order reign throughou'—each topic tench,
Nor urge its power too little, non too much ;
Give each strong thought its ntost attractive view,
In diction clear, and yet severely!trne,
And, as the arguments in splendor grow,
Let each reflect its light on all below.
When to the close arrived; inakemo delays,
By pretty flourishes, or verbal plays,
But sum the whole in one deep, aciemu strain,
Like a strong current hasbonlog bathe main.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—JUdge James B. Bow.
, ling, of Missouri, has been tendered the mission
"7674 to Paraguay. It id confidently, believed that he.
—5944 will accept it. Several other, gentlemen had
, !! , 7 been favorably named in that connection, but he
t 11,0) had the superior advantage of prominence of
political position, in addition to his fitness for
the important station. lie was United States

The American Colonization Society have pro
posed to the government to take care of the cap
tured Africans on their arrival in Liberia, and
subsist them for one year for $50,000, and in the
meantime to send them to school and teach them
how, by industrial pursuita, to support - them-'
selves after the expiration of that period. There
is every indication that the proposition will be
accepted. The Secretary of the Interior will
, forthwith authorize the -purchase of the nem
. eary clothing and blankets to secure for them a
comfortable voyage.
It is reported here that matters of a domestic,
and not of a political, character have induced
Gov. Richardson to resign the Govership of Ne
braska.
Nothing yet has been heard from Senator Ben
jamin relative to the mission to Spain, but it is
now supposed by his most intimate friends that
he will decline it.
A Board of Survey has been ordered to as
semble at Albequerque, New Mexico, to examine
into and report upon the difficulty and damage
in the public stores delivered by the contractors
to the commanding officer of that post.
Orders have been issued selecting the sixth
regiment of infantry, now in servile in the de%
partment of Utah, for service in Washington and
Oregon Territory.
Slavery Discussion.
PHILADELPHIA, September 7.—The debate on
the question " Should slavery be perpetual ?"
was opened at the National Guard's Hall, this
evening. The attendance was not large, but
included a few negroes. The debate was opened
by Parson Brownlow in a speech read by Gen.
Small, of this city. The argument contained
the strong, sarcastic and humorous language for
which Brownlow is remarkable, written in his
loose, careless style, but unfortunately it was
not given with that.peculiar emphasis for which
he is so noted. He argued that the perpetuation
of slavery was necessary to humanity and was
sanctioned by God, and will exist to the end of
time. His Biblical extracts for proof of hie sr..
gument were numerous. Ho would make no
defence of the slave trade, although he believed
that its evils were exaggerated. In the latter
part of his speech he handled what he styled
that unmitigated generation of human beings,
Abolitionists, without gloves, creating applause
and hisses. In fact, the desire to ridicule his
opponents weakened his argument.
I The Rev. Mr. Prynne followed in an argument
of some force against slavery.
Both speakers were evidently reserving their
strength for the close.
Railroad Casualties
CINCINNATI, September 7.—This morning, ae

out making a choice. A number of ballotings
were had, when the Convention adjourned to
meet to-morrow. Four days have now been
spenl in ineffectual efforts to nominate a candi
