Show THE TLSCAROKA CONVENTION. Whatever partisan prejudice may say against the Tuscarora convention, one thing is certain: It was not a cut and dried affair. No man knew who the delegates to the Chicago Chi-cago convention would be until after the election was over. That is the kind of spirit we admire, because it is the spirit of manhood man-hood and independence. The Times ventured ven-tured a prediction based upon a thorough canvass, and yet failed partially because no one but the majority of members were able to decide the matter. This is a sharp contrast to the machine methods adopted by Kentucky Smith's faction and therefore all the more commendable. The Tuscarora convention was enthusiastic enthusias-tic and who can deny it? full of earnest, noble k.'aves. The delegate chosen will make a strong fight for recognition in the democratic national convention. |
