quuntly Mr. Boyd got up and repudiated
that piece of work , saying the man guilty
of it teas not a delegate from Maryland at
all. lie rather limed that It had been a
put qm job by one of the other candidates
to hurt him.
Whether time attempted crookedness was
responsible for It or not , or whether the
Maryland delegation had been guilty of
coarse work or not , Air. Boyd was defeated -
feated , Colonel George Stone , Californin'a
state league president , being chosen tires- !
deumt of the national league on the next

Stone's Victory Complete.
Stone lunch demonstrated that lid was a
pretty- good politician , but it 'was not altogether -
together this whtclm elected him. Boyd's
