Pursuant to this call, Republicans from

them, as was stated, would be the proper
source to learn the 81 ject ofthe meeting.-
As 10 such person came forward, a gentle

statement Of the object Of the meeting but
no one volunteered to giveit, and the chsir-
man stated his inability to do 50. Mr. l..
Preston thereupon "moyed that as this was
"a mass meeting Of Republicans We take
"the opportunity Of ratitying the nonina-

MIR. Tracy, because we wish to get fairly all
he only tangible Objection we have yet
leardto Mr.. Warner, and the only one III
which we beliye he is at all vulnerable.
