We would suggest that no person he admitted to a seat lllde-s he p resents at the door a eertiih ato from the Chairman of his county delegation that he is a delegate. According to our preent plan any candidate can crowd the building, in which the convention is to be held, with hundreds of hi followers who-e expeu-es to Ib.ih ''i lie lias paid, and who w ill cheer and hurrah for him.
