Kent 1 got his gun
and rail to the spot. He found his
dog and a large red fox fighting.—
The fox w hippeil the dug and the
latter ’sneaked hack hornd. The fox
ran into its burrow, at the mbuth -i
of’which tlie fight occurred. Kent
dug the fox cut find started home
with it alive. He had taken a few
steps Only when a ; Srrtall animal
flashed across an opening in front
of hiiii, immediately followed by
another. Close behind the two
bounded a large animal. The. first
two were raceoohs. They \vere be-,
ing pursued bv a wildcat. The
edons scrambled into fi hollow log.
The wildcat, seeing’ Kent, ’did. not
stop until it had gond a hundred
yards further on. Then it f<>ok a
position in a Chestnut tree. Kent
hast ily took off one Of his suspen
ders and tetheixSl the fox.to a
chestnut'sapling’hy btmi'hind logs.
He then rah to the hollow log
where the coons had taken refuge,
arid closed up both ends with
chlink's of'wood. The Wildtml still,
remained In the ehesnttt tree in
plain sight. Kent wfitlked toward it
but it shdSved no inclination to es
cape. Keiit stood tinde'r the branch
on which the wildcat crouched,
not more than twenty-five feet
above him. The animal prepared
itself tri spring upon him, but be
fore it could do so Kent sent n rifle
ball into its heart, and it fell to tlie
ground and died almost instantly*.
Before the report of the gun had
died away Kent heard a noise off
to his right in the underbrush, and
he thought it was a cow that had
wandered in the woods. He went
into tlie brush toward the spot
where the noise came from,
and to., hjs surprise discovered
a large bear dragging
itself along with .both of its hind
feet in a heavy steel trap, to which
was attached a. long cliain. Kent
was obliged to shoot tlie bear twice
before be killed it. After waiting
a few,minutes to see whether lie
would be called tipon to kill or cap
ture anything more, Kent went
buck after bis fox. He got there
just in time, for by its .struggles tlie
Ti organised Territory and Wie
District of Columbia. The Territo
ries are not represented in the
Deinoeraticc Convention.
The United States Senate con
sists of severity-six members, and
'the House of Representatives of
three hundred and twenty-five
members. The Republican Con
vention will be made up of eight
hundred and twenty delegates.
Delegates are chosen, except in
a very few eases, by Conventions,
one or more in each State. They
-will all be so chosen for the Repub
lican Convention this year for the
first time. But it lias not fully
decided that each congressional dis
trict may Igdd its own convention
and choose its own .delegates. It
has been common in some States
tor a single Convention to choose
all the delegates to which the State
was entitled.
The system had the advantage
of making the influence of a State
in the Convention as great as it
could lie, since it resulted in the
election of iiien who all represent
ed one wing—if there were two
wings—of the party. The same ob
ject was -frequently accomplished
by giving tlie delegation instruc
tions to “vote as a unit on all ques
tions.’’
Thus, iii each ofthe National Con
ventions this year, there will he
,seveuty-tw,o delegates from the

the rigjtt to.east the whole .seven
ty-two votes on one side or the oth
er of every question brought before
.the Conventions, or tor one candi
date when noptinations are mak-
()f late years the tendency has
hern particularly: in the Republi
can party to'allow district Conven
tions to choose district delegates,
arid to leave to the State Conven-
tibtr only the choice of the four del
egates who represent tin* State at
Large. Sometimes, however, the
practice is to Irreak up the State
Conventioli 'into-district Conven
tions,—the members for'each dis
trict forming,a separate body,
this way all the delegates are eho's-
en ikt.the wfific time and by one
set of men;.but tlie pr actiee gives
a fairer chance to the nntiority, if
there is-a division. It has' been
decided in Republican Conventions
that the “unit rule” is not binding.
Each,delegate has the right to east
liis vote and to have it recorded in
dependently.
A majority, makes a nomination
in a Republican Convention; but
■in a Democratic.Convention a can
didate for President or Vice-Presi
dent must receive two-thirds of all
the v;diets. This rule—known as the
two-thirds rule—rhas been adopted
by successive Conventions. It has
made impossibhi the nomination of
the candidates who started out
withia majority in l«S8l and led to
tlie nomination of Polk and Pierce,
who .were* when nominated, Com
paratively unknown mbit. This
•rule also caused the split in the
Democratic party in lS(jn. Bnt the
Democrats find it useful and Will
not abandon it.
National Conventions were tin
known in the early history ,of the
country. Down to the end of .tir
Monroe’s administration candi
