We think the l5h OF February would BE- as suit
able as any other. We think it desirable that
our candidate should be early in he haid-and
The day named would afford ample time - The

warm friends and admirers, who are DESTROYS OF
seeing him nominated A Coni. ntion would re-
conce The conflicting claims OF al; as we be.
lievr that there is mol one Democrat, either
among the candidates or their lrends who would
not chterfully abide by lis decision, and rush
forth eagerly 10 do oaue in a common cause
