WILLIAM H. H1NRICHSEN, lECRBTlRT OP STATE IXDER ALTOELD. It was In th spring of 1891. Th state sad national conventions of th two great political parties had been called, and politicians were earnestly discussing the availability of the men wbose names were being mentioned In connection with the nominations for the offices to be filled. It was during this period that a group of prominent politicians was assembled la a paclons room In the Iceland hotel.

It was no ordinary meeting, for It consisted of mors than a score of the most prominent and Influential Democrats In the state, and each felt that before the meeting adjourned some Important results wocld be accomplished. Each came prepared to pledge a certain number of delegates to any good combination that might be made, provided It Included his favorite candidate and excluded his political enemies, and as among them they represented erery locality In the state. their combination. It made, must prove I strong en. Judge Osgood, who had requested their at tendance, had been careful to invite only uch as he could rely upon for support, and who were known to belong to the same fae- tlon.

The Judge stood near the door greeting each newcomer as he entered, while Charlie Shepherd, his clerk, sat, at a table checking oft the names of those In riled from a typewritten list before him. Finally the last name was becked, and as he nodded to the Judge, the latter walked to the table and rapped for at ten lion. Instantly the buss of conversation was suspended, and the Judge addressed them quietly and briefly. "My friends, you know the object of this meeting, and In order that our1 work may be done as expeditiously as possible, I think we should select a chairman and secretary. A voice said: "I nominate Uncle Billy Black for chairman.

"Second the nomination." by several voices. "There being no other nominations, Senator Black will act as chairman," announced the Judge, and a tall, dignified old gentleman ttpped "Gentlemen." said the Judge, "your chairman needs no Introduction, for there Is not an office, a business-house, a factory, or a home In our great state where his name and fame are known. To the subdued handclapping that followed Senator Black bowed and said: "Gentlemen, I am obliged to you for this honor. Whom Will you have for your secretary?" Charlie Shepherd was chosen without opposition. "Do we need a treasurer?" asked the chairman doubtfully.

"I think not yet. said the Judge, blushing, and a general laugh followed. The audience settled, themselves In their chair, lighted their cigars, and prepared to listen to what their host might say. The Judge hsd remained standing, and, addressing the chairman and audience, said: "Yo are all aware that I am a candidate for ths nomination for Governor, and have a good chance of success. I will say, sa that there may be no restraint upon your action, that ail those present are my friend and have pledged me their support.

We are here today to take an account of stock and to discuss the availability or candidates for other places on the ticket- I. of course, desire thnt a rtrong ticket be nominated, and by chooU.g our men in advance we will be ablo tot only to secure good men, but will be able to act in harmony with them when the contention meets, and thus Insure our nominations."

We should select our men with car, for we must consider not only the fitness of each for the position he Is to occupy, but we must distribute them well over the state and take Into consideration the age. race, profeeeioa.

"That Is certainly to be thought of." And then he continued: "I think that every Congressional district la represented here, and I believe we are ready to proceed to business. I believe a good plan would be to take np the different positions, beginning at the bottom of the list, name the best men we can think and then when the list Is complete look aver It as a whole and see how It fits." The plsn was quickly agreed to, and the secretary called the first position, that of school commissioner. Every one smiled as Henry Snyder, the editor of a German newspaper arose, for all knew what was coming. "I name Professor Conrad Gotthelf tor that position," ssld Mr. Snyder.

"Conrad Gotthelf," repeated the secretary, and there was a clapping of hands. "Any one else asked the chairman. There was to reply. Mr. Gotthelf was evidently the choice of ail present.

"Attorney general," ald the secretary. Seversl names were mentioned, and there seemed, some prospect of a prolonged discussion, when the chairman suggested Charles J. Thorn, the head of his profession In the state. It was quickly decided to take Mr. Thorn If he would accept the nomination.

"Treasurer," announced the secretary. All minds seemed to be on one man for the position. Mr. John Temple was a country AS SLATEMAKER 1 "I WANT TO BE LIEUTENANT. gOVINOR AND NOTHING ELSE." ii 'i "i i 1 I i I "I tV.K- jF i cv-v-v I ft i 1 ii ft i -r- z-7T-" banker of excellent reputation and unusual ability.

He had filled several local offices, and had served three term In the State Legislature. When George Prince of Jefferson county mentioned his name It was received with applause and accepted at once. Mr. Temple, who was present, bowed his acknowledgment. "We are getlng along finely," said Judge Osgood.

"Call the next. Mr. Secretary." "Auditor," said that functionary. Several men were on their feet In an Instant and several names were suggested. After some discussion a motion to pass on to the next position was adopted.

'l 1 "Secretary of state." was annonnced. --A well-known editor and politician, John Anderson, was quickly selected. Governor." said the secretary. Severs! names' were mentioned, and the choice finally settled upon John Carpenter, a well-known contractor, who had served in both bouses of the Legislature and waa aa excellent campaigner. For Governor, Judge Osgood wsa quickly chosen.

The meeting then took up the deferred business of selecting a candidate for auditor and finally agreed upon David Smith, a prominent' farmer, for that position. His business and locality had much to do with his selection. "There is ear ticket, said Judge Osgood. "We have two lawyers, one contractor, one editor, one farmer, one banker, and one educator. Each man la well fitted for the position for a bleb he haa been elected, and they are well located.

We havo one German, one each of Irish and Scandi navian and the others are Americana. I see no flaw In that ticket." "What are you going to do with Joe Dill?" asked Frank Wilson of Adams county. Several persons started and all looked nervous. Judge Osgood frowned and asked: "What about Joe Dill?" "He want to be Lieutenant Governor," said Wilson. "He is not on our list," said th Judge "I know that." replied Wilson, I wish he was.

He Is going after that nomination and he is sure to make us trouble. He will have a lot of delegates, you may be sure, and they will vote as ho wsnts them to all down the line. They will all be against every one of our candidates." "That Is true." was echoed from several. "I think we can get along without them." aid the Judge. "Let us marshal our strength," said the chairman, "and see how we stand.

The secretary will call the roll of candidates and we would like to know" approximately how many delegates each can deliver for our ticket the whole ticket, mind." The clerk called the roll, made a hasty addition, and announced, "Six hundred and seventy-five." There was gloom on the faces of all, for this was a bare majority of th convention.

"Gentlemen," said Judge Osgood, "I am opposed to nominating Mr. Dili for a place on this ticket. Least of all am I willing to have him named for Lieutenant Governor.

You all know why. and while I do not desire to oppose your wishes, I must enter my protest against any combination with him." "Where will you get enough votes to nominate? If he combines with Hunter they will beat us, sure." said Wilson. The Judge made no reply. The chairman said: "I regard Mr. mil as bardly fitted for the second place on the ticket, but we might locate him elsewhere.

Perhaps the promise of a good appointment might satisfy him. raid Wilson. "I know It would not." Temple, the candidate for treasurer, arose. think we need Mr. Dill's delegates." said he, "and we mast get them.

1 do net think that he is the man for Lieutenant Governor, but If the gentlemen present will accept me for that position I will gladly accept It, and Mr. Dill can bo selected for treasurer." storm of approval followed this suggestion, and Judge Osgood finally gars his consent to that arrangement. hope he agree, said Wlleon "Can there be any doubt of asked the chairman. 1 "The treasurer's office is worth 1100,000 a year, while that of Lieutenant Governor Is worth nothing. The offico Is ornamental unless something happens to the Governor, and has always been a political graveyard.

The meeting adjourned for two hours, and Mr. Wilson went in search of Mr. DHL Joseph B. Dill, or "Joe, as he waa invariably called, was a somewhat peculiar young man. His father, a successful or.

Joe 'had "studied law. and had. been admitted to the bar. had purchased and ed Ited a smalt newspaper, had trl his band ait faming and speculating," and -had taken considerable interest in politics.

He had served twe terms In the Legislature, where he had gained applause for his advocacy cf the rights of railroad employes, and was pop ular with the younger members of the law making body. all that, he was looked. upon little favor by the older men of the party; first, because he was young, only SO; second, because they thought him un stable; third, becajse he was suspected of rot having finished eowtsg his wild oats, and finally, because he was of an Independent disposition, and refused to be controlled. To the surprise of every one. be had announced himself as a candidate for Lieutenant Governor before the convention of his party, and waa making an art Ire canvass for the nomination.

In spite of th fact that the older heads did not favor his candidacy, his winning ruannere, warm heart, and well-known integrity were producing results, and he was evidently a factor In the great contest which was certain to come before the convention, He had come to the city that day, having gained an inkling of Judge Osgood's meeting. So far he had been unable to discover anything definite In regard to Its object, and was wondering where he could find any one to furnish the desired Information when, face to face on the street, ho met his friend. 1 rank Wilson. He knew that Wilson was a friend of Osgood's also, and it was therefore with pleasure that he accepted the letter's Invitation to lunch, and they wero soon seated at a table in a quiet corner of a restaurant. Do you know anything about the Osgood caucus?" asked Dill.

DU1 reflected for a while, and then said: "Osgood doe net like me, and would not take me In If he could do without me. Now Hunter has spoken to me, but. I have held him off. I would sooner be with Osgood, because so many of his friends are my rlendt.

"Certainly. That Is why Osgood wants you for treasurer. "Treasurer! Not much! I am a candidate for Lieutenant Governor." "Don't be foolish. Joe. That place Is out of your reach, and the treasurership Is within your grasp, and It la the best place cm the ticket." "Not for me, Frank.

I will be Lieutenant Governor or nothing." "Well, you will go with me to the meeting, anyway. Joe, and make your statement to the gang "Oh, yea. 111 go; but nothing but the Lieutenant Governorship goes." "Well, well see', The two hours were up. and the slatemnk-era were gathered, and Dill was with them. As soon as the meeting was called to order.

Judge Osgood took the floor, and, directing his addresa to gave him the result of the morning's session, without going into detail. Joo heard him through and then replied. "I appreciate." said he. "the honor you have conferred upon me by selecting me as your for treasurer, but I am. a caadllate for.

Lieutenant Governor, and unless I can be nominated for that position I will not be on the ticket. Every one In the room was on his feet trying to show how much better the position of treasurer was than that of Lieutenant Governor. Joe only smiled at their earnestness and finally said: "Gentlemen, that has been gone over many times, and I know yon are right, but I want to be Lieutenant Governor, and, nothing else. If you want to take me In for that position. notify me by midnight and I am with you.

If I fall to hear from-you. by that timet shall try to make other aeracgements. Ani he withdrew from the room. It waa an angry crowd he left behind him. and the sentiment was largely In favor of working without him.

Judge Osgood and Wilson talked the matter over in a corner. Wilsonr reviewed his interview with Dill. "If he combines with Hunter," said Frank, "they will split our crowd, for they will put Thorn and Gotthelf on their slate, and thus divide our strength, think we had better accept "We will be for nominating him for- Lieutenant Governor," said the Judge. "He is a volatile, onstatle fellow, and he is little more than a boy In year. I admit he makes a good appearance; that he is popular with the railroad roes, and that he Is a hustler, but, somehow, ho does not seem to fit." wilt tene him down." salt Wilson, "and he Is old enough.

Besides he will control at leart two hundred delegates for the slate. We had better take him." The Judge sighed and said, "I suppose we must, but It Is very annoying." Order being restored, the Jadge addressed) the meeting, recapitulated the situation, and said he waa ready to submit to the will of ths majority of those The discussion was long and Tha. voices wer to loud that they penetrated to the corridor. where the reporters were waiting, and the afternoon papers contained various sensa tional stories describing the row In Osgood's meeting. Finally vote was taken and Mr, Dill, was accepted as the slate candidate for Lieutenant He was for and the agreement was solemnly ratified Joyously celebrated.

The next morning every important paper in the country told the story of orgoaa slate, and while ncne gave truthful octaus. all gave the correct results.

They say their sect Is likely to be misrep resented, as the Babltes have many enemies in Syria, where both the Mohammedans and the Christians are opposed to them. The sen. satlonal reports covering the case, they say.

A score of Chicago men and women had made their way to the distant city on the shores of th Bay of Aero, the place known to those who believe in the teachings of The Bab, aa the "Door of Hope."
