sary. The Stale Council will meet on the third
of July, and all appearances 60 to show that the
platform Adop'ed at Philadelphia will be rejected.
The Pnusburg Commercial Journal says Thai every
Council of the Order in Allegheny COUNTY, which
has met since The platform was pFnmu gated, has
repudiated 1t, and appealed to the State Council.
The only proper course is for the latter body TO
r+pudiate the platform, abandon all secret met
ings and invite the Wings I'D unite with them IN
making a common ticket. Ii this be done the
party will sweep the State and if it be no, done,
crushing defeat will be rsked.
