There is a good deal of this so talk heard among those who quietly watching developments, and it is not impossible that a jolting si prise awaits the “boK-es” when thev undertake to-'deliver the branded goods and carry out their cut Isncl dried programme in the State Convention. No man who keeps in touch with the Republican sentiment has failed to observe that there is a spirit of independence and revolt abroad tin is ill disposed to submit to “boss dictation-in the selection of the delogates to Chicago. They propose, they are everywhere saying, to select their own representative* and to commi-'-sion them to carry out their wishes in the National Convention.
