REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION

The Republican State Convention which assem-
bled at Madison on the 5th inst. was the largest
and most harmonious Convention ever held in
Wisconsin. Two hundred and fourteen delegates
(being full delegation from the entire Stae) were
IN attendance As the candidates pui in
nation ali preferences thrown aside and The
unanimous choice of all presented centered
upon the man selected by the ajorty.
Fears were entertained By Republicans
and hopes iaiulged by our opponents, that
the mass meeting called by Mr. BoorH, of the
Free Democrat few hours before the assembling
of the Convention would result unfavoIably TO
harmonious action; but when it was ascerrained
that Mr. Booths only object was to present Reso
lutions that cast just rebuke upon that Anti
Republican and dangerous secret organization
known Kno,r Nothing. all were united in APP
proving the motive, and the only difference of
opinion was upon the propriety of presenting such
resolutions al Mass Meeting instead OF the Cons
yention. The Convention was considered the
most proper place, as it was evident that there
were many BaFstow men in the Mass Meeting who
were anxious to vote agdins, the Resolutions and
then throw it out to the world that portion Of
Republican Meeting were opposed to Anti
Know Nothing Resolutions For this reason. the
vote IN the Mass Meeting was opposed and not
taken That MIR Booth motives in calling the
meeting and presenting the resolutions were TO
promote harmony, no one doubt, and we must
acknowledge that his course Throughout the Con
vention, was such met the approval of every
true Republican, and for oursel,, returned from
- .-.L IL,
views Of Mr.. Booths character than those previ
ously entertained by us.
The subject of Know Nothingism was fully
discussed in the Convention /; It's anti Republican
and dangerous tendency ably set forth. and the
Convention, with the utmost upanimity, passed
the resolution upon that subjec which will Be
found IN the proceedings we publish to day
