mittee renominGted the same man whom II had
previously thrust over his head, and, carrying
the name into Primary Meeting where the
true state of the case was unknown, procured
what is called Ratification. From this I'M
worthy treatment Col. Snow takes an appeal
TO the People as an independent candidate, and
we know several independent voters who will
support him-this one, for sample

Ward Nominating Committee will cast light on
the whole matter:
