have distinct, definite, republican party.
We come here together as republicans to
nominate republican candidates for repub-
mean oihceS, and It, is OF the first Importance
that we understand shat we have assurances
that we are doing this, and that in our can

and serving two parties. And there was
his difficulty with Mr.. Banks lie has been
nominated by faction with which this
convention can have no fellowship. His
letter of acceptance, according to his inter.
probation endorses the resolutions Of that
faction. We want no candidate who can
accept our platform and still not be holden
by 1t, as Mr.. Banks is interpreted as doing
by the American platform, and may do by
ours Our candidates must hold no fealty
to any other party and have no obligations
to them Mr.. Banks we know, has been a
mem her OF the party whose nomination he
has already accepted. We know that last
October lie declared that we was of the
American party. lie has placed himself
