The encouragement took the shape of a manifestation from the spirit land, and the visitant was no less a person than Bill ‘Tweed himself. Mr. Curtis was at the time seated with his trusty friends and boon companions, Carl Schurz and George Jones, and the party was engaged in reviving mem- ories of childhood by tossing pennies to see which should be nonainated for President on the Independent ticket. ‘The Convention had sat for some days without arriving at any conclusion, for each of the three had being for Curtis, Jones’ for Jones, and Schurz’ for Schurz, first, last and all time, and no second choice. Under those circumstances, th ad no al- ternative but to resort to the fickle goddess and leave the choice to the hazard of a flip- ped penny. Can a more solemn moment be imagined?
