Reception Of Mr. Ranks Nomsn 'tioTs-OOnditicn Of the

think that the reception Of Mr.. Ban' nomination has
surprised most people and irrtased others There was
such chatter kept up against him by parcel Of ardent
spirits who threatened TO kill everybody and then 10 eat
them If he should be nominated that very formidable
breach was expected in the republican ranks The
think they would have endeavored to do something In the
way Of formal opposition to him Immediately after bis
nomination, If had not been for the action Of Mr. Allen
and Mr. Adams. That action took the backbone out Of the
anti Banks men, at least for the me and harmony
not restored to the whole party something that very much
resembled II made to appear, and which In time may
become the genuine article That harmony Is necessary
anti Banks men might, by energetic proceedings com

numbers, los o0o against him. 90 ooo The anti Fremont

The question: then s will the men mentioned leave the
republicans to support Mr. Banks alone? Judging from
present peaIances, ana speaking only At this very
early stage Of the contest should say that they will net
in numbers sufficient to cauee any damage 10 Mr. Banks.
Some Of the Fremont Americans yet look shy q. him. and
their action will be governed by future events. Giving to
Mr.. Banks the republican vote. half the Fremont
