Dnt how tamo nntl commonplace tho dropping out of one orowned head and tho accession of an other in this manner compared with tho choosing of ,n president at ono of our Mtionnl conventions! la monarchies succession is by ono of the most common cnsuiilitlcs of life.

As well known, as Bch studied, as thoroughly canvassed M the rising and the sotting sun. la SMMrchy, tho death chamber, the aafflod sounds, tho weeping of kin, tho wf nl hush and a son or daughter ris tag from tho bedside to reeoivo a crown, That is nil.

This is tho work of brain, f brawn, of genius, of life not of death. Man rules, not nature Through all these preliminaries run certain cur rents of ambition, of coherence, of di rection, mooting almost ovoiywhoro in keen rivalry, and pregnant always of keener rivalries to come. Tho seemingly trivial contest between two hatiC.'uls of countrymen, by the light of threo or four oil lamps in tho back wood school honso, tlnds its echo in the grand, the spectacular, tho inspir teg. tho indeacriluiblo clash of human forces tho battlo of peaco which jcllpses most of tho buttles of war in omc gigantio auditorium toward whoso walls tho ears of an entire nation are inclined. A national convention makes history, bat tho history of a national convention was never written. Chroniclers by the hundred, and tho keenest and brightest ta all tho land aro there. They npear Bbiqnitous, they novor sleep, they tiro, though stop not. They load tho wires With hundreds of thousands of words, day af tor day. and thou tho story is only half told. The midnight conferences, the fcecrvt plots, tho conspiracies, tho in trigues, tho treachery are often burled ta oblivion, never to soe the ligjit of print Tho truo and full history of any Bational convention would read like a romance. Sometimes a convention's action is Btaterially Affected by a trivial incident occurring many miles away. In 1888 tho Bational Republican convention was heM at Chicago. There wero many candidates. But over thorn all hung a peculiar spell, a cloud, a charm, which paralysed progress, prevented crystalli sation. It was the name of Blaine. Mr. Blaine was In Europe, whence he had' sent a lottor declaring that ho was sot a candidate Some of his friends accepted this as final, but more did not It anally appeared that thoro wan a plot to nominate Blaine, notwithstanding his letter. The men who were engaged in it had a difficult, a delicato task before them. It would not do to make the ef fort and fail. Nor would it be wiso. considering that it is always desired to have election follow nomination, to ride roughshod over tho other candidates, tho avowed candidates, whoso friends had brought them forward in good faith on the Assumption thnt Blaino was out. Therefore these men who bad deter mined to nominate Blaino moved with caution and tact Their plun was to give each of tho principal avowed, candidates a try at tho prise. Each iu turn was to bo put for ward with seemingly powerful assist ance, and when all had mado their run ning and failed to reach tho goal Blaino was to be brought out as tho only man who could attract to himself tho dis cordant elements, as tho only possible elation of the problem. Thus uomi Bated, argued the manipulators, Blaino weald have to accept, and under such circumstances there could lie no charge of bad faith or sharp practice. This plan made satisfactory progress. Monday morning came, and no nomina tion had been made, (hough tho conven tion had been in session five days. This candidate and that had bad his chance aad failed. The convention was at sea. Choice seemed impossible, and the friends pf all the aspirants were becom ing weary and discouraged. "The hour has come, now we must trike," agreed the Blaine managers. A secret conference of the trusted Blaine was called. It met at 1 o'clock in uMi' . (ho morning in (nrlor 144, Grand Paellle hotel. Every man present was a lender in his state. "How many votes have you thnt may bo depended on?" Ilvoty ono answered. Tho total was a largo majority of tho convention. "Then wo nominate Dlnlne in soon ai the conven tion moots today." A commit too of three was appointed to manage affairs on the floor of tho convention hall, all agreeing to follow their directions. As dawn lie gan to streak gray rays through the windows this remarkablo conforenco ad journed. Every man left that parlor with joy in his heart, for ho folt thnt the nomination of Ulaino was only a few hours distant. At 10 o'clock these men, weary but confident, walked into tho convention hall. "Not this ballot, but tho next," wns tho word whispered among them. Itow eagerly they waited for that next bnllotl But in n few minutes n now fnctor, uuexiiected and uuwolcomo, en tered tho hall. It wns n cablegram from Mr. Blaino to Congressman Boutello. It had been received late tho night lntforc. Boutello had consulted one or two friends as to what ho should do with it, and then, liko tho Yankee that ho is, had concluded to sleep on it before doing anything. Tho message read, "I think I have tho right to nsk my friends to re spect my wishes." Boutello wns in nt quandary. Ho did not know whether to make tho telegram public or bury it in his pocket. "Bother Ulaino," said ho. "ho knows how to uso tho English lan guage as well as any man in tho world, Why didn't ho say what ho meant in good English?" It was a fearful ro- sionsibility. On tho ono side was good faith with a long time friend, on the other ambition, power, triumph. Bou tello llnnlly decided to tnnko tho letter public Ho wns led to this conclusion, this fateful conclusion, by anothor strange clrcumstnuco. That Sunday evening Mr. A. M. Low, then on tho Chicago Tribune staff iu Washington, received this order over tho social wiro from his managing editor, "Intorviow John Slier man." Tlio trained nowspapor man obeys orders. "It's no uso for mo to go up to John Sherman's houso and nsk for nu interview at this time." said Low to himself: "ho wou't say a word. 1 might just ns well sit down and wiro back 'lie won't talk' as to tako tho trouble to walk up to his houso this hot night." Bui liko the good newspaper man ho is, Low went to .Sherman's house. Tho Senator wns sitting on tho doorstep, surrounded by tho inembeiH of his family. All wero drinking lemonade, and tho old senator, with thatwaimthof hospitality which i always his and which is in strange con trust to his manners at tho Capitol, with his own hands brought the scribo u gins and bade him lie seated. This auspicious beginning hud a fateful ending. Mr Sherman submitted to an interview. He gave his opinion of tho pi ogress of events nt Chicago. Tho substance of it nil wax that ho understood the gamo of politics which tho Blaine men were playing at Chicago und condemned it most Revet e ly. Reading between tlm lines one could sco thnt if Ulaino wero given tho nomi nation in thnt manner Mr. Sherman would forever feel that ho had not I icon fairly treated, for Mr. Sherman himself oxpected to bo nominated the following day if Blaino wero kept out of tho con test. When Mr. Boutello enmo down to breakfast after "sleeping on" BluiueV cablegram he had a copy of Tho Tiibum in his hand. This interview wns the, first thing which attracted his attention. Ho read and re-read it. Light dawned on his troubled mind. "Mr. Ulaino." lie said to himself, "would nover forgive mo if 1 suppressed his telegram and ier uiitted his friends to ride over John Shorman. This settles it, and 1 shall read tho tolegiam to tho convention ' In tho convention hull the Blnino schemers begged Boutello to change his mind threatened him, stormed nt him but without nvail.

By tho shrewdness, tho genius of ono man. No abler politician ever lived than Stephen B. Elkius. Ho was Blaine's manager in 1880 nnd 1884. Ho idolized Blaine, but ho nover carried hero wor ship to the point at which he lost his wits. In 1888 ho was for Blaino If Blaino would or could tako it, but ho had a sec ond bow for tho fiddle If it woro not Blaino Elkius had determined it should bo Harrison.

At Chicago ho invited to his room four men. They wero Piatt, Depew, Miller and Hlscock tho "big four" of tho Now York delegation. In that room, with only five men present, tho great convention with its 800 dele gates and its thousands of assistant dele gates was ruled. These four men threw Now York for Harrison and New York's prestige curried tho nomination with it. Mr. Piatt wus promised tho secretary ship of the treasury, to obtain which has been the ambition or his lifo. Why he didn't got it I know, bnt wou't tell. It U no business of our. anyway.

Tho Minne apolis "convention hustlers" propose to have tho at my of delegates and alter nates to tho national Republican con vention treated In a manner which will make it hard to do any kicking, These will bo 1,800 of them to look after, if Alaska Is recognized and given a share iu tho job of nominating a Republican presidential candidate. INTF.I1IOH OF CONVKNTION HAM If any of tho state delegations havo a hard time of It it will not bo because tho local comiuittco has failed in its duty. It will rather bo becauso n fow of the states neglected to apply for qunrtors. Tho sons of theso delinquent commonwealths will got a good placo to sleep and plenty of good and well pre pared Minneapolis mado Hour, but they will not enjoy tho luxury of quarters at tho West or Nicollet or some other equally good hostelry. What souio of tho states lacked iu vig llunco others made up for in the very prompt way they asked for accomoda tions': Thoro was Now York, for In stance, which nover gets loft when it comes to securing n good placo nt tho ta bic It had hardly recovered from tho surprlso over losing tho convention when Dwight Lawreuco was dispatched to tho victorious city with instructions to got tho very best thoro was going. This oinniissary catno west for u purposo, and It looks as if ho accomplished that pur poso in n manner that should scctiro for him tho eternal friendship of Chnuucoy M. Dopow, Warner Miller nnd tho other members of tho "big four," nnd the othor good livers who will ccnio along with them. Tho seventy-two delegate' und as many alternates from Now York will hold forth at tho West. Tho West, with its eight stories, ought to accommodate ultout 1,000 guests, espe cially in such times us these. More than half the space in tho house will Imj taken by fiOO delegates and ultornates. A com parutlvely small part of tho Now Yo:k crowd will hu o to bo less aristocratic foi a fow days and lie guests uttho Holmes, a very good ami cheery houso two blocks from thoWcst and further from tho eon. veution. 'The Michigan people uie all right. Thoy will number fifty-six. dele gates and alternates, and they have man aged to fix things so that about every man has a room to himself. Tho big Pennsylvania aggregation will not mix with tho Now Yorkers, nt least they will not havo to, for thoy are to bo housed at tho Nicollet, three blocks away. Tho noxt largest delegation, that from Illinois, will dwell with tho Penu sylvanians at the Nicollet. Thoro will bo no chance for friction between tin Sherman ami Foraker elements in the bunch of forty-six delegates from Ohio, for tho fates have decreed that half this purty shall lw at tho West, while tho othor half shall feast at tho Nicollet. Tho thirty Harrison men from Hoosicr dom will bo an element iu tho great mix up at tho West, whero thoy can confer at the breakfast tablo with tho twelve Blaino onthusiasts from Mulno or try to convinco tho twenty-four sons of tho Badger Stato that Uncle Jerry Rusk is not in it with President Harrison as E residential timber at least for this eat. The thirty delegates from the Bay State will bo neighbors at tho West of tho dozen gontlomcn from tho Nutmeg State. Tho eight cotton mon from Rhode Island nnd the half dozon sturdy wheat growers from North Dakota will bo across tho hall from each other at the West, and probably bo able to agree on a tariff schedule which will striko tho average. Tho twenty-six uninstrncted gentlemen from Iowa will have tho at tention of tho Wost hotel crowd until the littlo-but-oh-my half dozon cowboys from Idaho slido into town on their favor ite bronchos, und regale the goutlemen from tho east with some interesting yarns about those cattlo troubles. Gen eral Powell Clayton, tho one nrmod vet eran from Arkansas, and his cloven col leagues, will also bend tho elbow at tho samo tablo with the notables already mentioned. The eight sons of New Hampshiro wore scheduled for tho West, but they are likely to break bread as tho guests of FAIK OAKS, the Pillsburys. Tho Pillsburys make up four families in Minneapolis. Thoy are rich and have beautiful homes and an abundance of hospitality. Thoy are natives of the Granite State, and no man from that state need leave Minneapolis And know what it is to want a meal, for it will be another case of Pillsbury's licst. The Nicollet House has as prosivective guests, besides those ulready mentioned, eight Green Mountain boys who can compare notes with an equal number of boomers fron South Dakota. Chauncey L Filley and his good sized aggregation front Missouri will commingle with the forty delegates and alternates from ex- Somitor Ingnlls' bailiwick, all of whom will recline on wire tnuttrassos nt )io Nicollet The samo register will nlto bear tho autographs of tho contingents from Nebraska, Now Jersoy und Now Mexico. Tho Iowa delegation, already mentioned, will not all bo quartered nt tho West. &imo of tho southern neigh bors will consort with tho small detach ment from Now York who nro domiciled nt tho Uplines, whllo others will bo sent over on tho convention sido of tho rivor nnd lw given virtuous couches nt tho Wlndom Tho Holmes, besides looking after the comfort and tho shekels of thoso already rcfened to, will entertain tho twenty two Alabamans, tho twenty-six states men from Georgia, with tho cool and nervy men from Washington and Mon tana. Then tho Holmes will bo further distinguished by having tho two gentle men who will try to boo thnt Utah is not entirely forgotten. A portion of tho lown delegation, tho main body of whom will stop nt tho West, is also assigned to tho Holmes, while anothor section is booked for tho Windom. Tho twenty-six moonshiners from Kentucky were Into about lotting tho local coininltteo know whothcr thoy wnntcd an early or lato dinner, but thoy havo fared vory woll. Thoy will keep tho two boomers from Oklahoma from gctdng lonesomo, nnd this will bo dono nt tho Victoria, a good but not so vory Bpncious tavern. Tho Kellogg, or what is supposed to bo tho regular delegation from Louisiana, will tako twenty min utes or moro for refreshments nt tho St James, whero thoy will consort with a part of tho Mississippi delegation nnd a fow of tho gentlemen from South Da kota. Tho delegates from South Caro lina and West Virginia will bo nt homo to friends for iv fow days ut tho Bruns wick. Tho national committee will have headquarters ut tho West Their inter ests woro looked nfter very early by tho local committee, ns wns well, nnd ns a result tho big committeemen will have a protty comfortable time of it All the larger delegations, liko tho Now York Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Massachu setts, etc., havo arranged for headquar ters at tho West or Nicollet. A largo number of tho delegates nnd alternates who aro booked for a hotel nro vory likely to bo tnkon in ns tho guests of prominent Miuneupolitnns, who hnvo offered their homes for tho good of tho cntiso. It is very largely a matter of local and stato pride, and every effort will bo mado to tnnko every body happy. If it is not dono it will not bo for lack of proper effort. Senator Washburn, in his palatini Fuir Oaks, will entertain Senator Ilo.ir nnd other equally prominent gentlemen Minneapolis is u city made up very MI.NNKATOLIS AND 8T.

Theso peo ple havo kept their eyes on thnt gradu ally increasing list of delegates nnd al ternates, and u great many will receivo a cordial invitation to bo guests nt pri vuto homes. And they'll miss it if thoy don't uccept For tho countless thousands who will flock into Minneapolis for an opportuni ty to size up u national convention nnd to witness tho wonders of tho twin cities, tho hundreds of lessor hotels nnd private boarding houses will open wido their doors. Then, too, the fair city of St. Paul Bits upon its seven by nine hills only half an hour's ride from the conven tion hall. Thousands of visitors will be well en tertained in the saintly city, whero are several spacious caravausaries of the Al order and an unlimited supply of modest I- meritorious houses of smaller dimen sions. Tho two cities are practically one. Thoy are connected by half a dozon railways and by electric, cablo and horso cars. One may jourooy from tho heart of one city to tho vory center of the other in less than half an hour. No national convention over mot in a moro imposing or fallacious cdiflco than tho Minneapolis exposition building. It will accommodate from 12,000 to 16,000 people, and its acoustic properties are perfect. Thoro is no doubt about your being ablo to hear tho speeches if you aro fortunate enough to secure a seat in tho gallery. Tho accompanying illus tration gives a very good idea of tho hull us viewed from tho stago. Amplo ac commodations havo been provided for tho press, and tho ablo wucil pushors may bo relied upon to give prompt, ac curate and comploto reports of tho pro ceedings. To the disappointed boomer whose fayorito shall havo lwen dofeated in tho convention tho beautiful environments of Minneapolis will offer sweet solace. Thero is fair Minnehaha, mado famous in Longfellow's romantic poem of "Hia watha," only four miles away. It is situated iu tho midst of a beautiful park which tho stato bus reserved for a soldiers' home. It may bo reached by half a doaeu different routes. Only a mile from Minnehaha is Fort Snell- ing, un interesting spot. It is tho old est fort in the northwest and ono of tho most picturesque in America. It is on a high bluff at tho junction of tho Minnesota and Mississippi rivers. Only twenty minutes' rido from Min neapolis lies Miiinetouka, tho fairest, freshest, most picturesque of nil inland lakes. It has fine hotels, tine yachting, fishing and hunting.
