they fail to express their preference il is their
equal duty to submit to tie selection which

Of the party may aoic differ. when the selec-

men must regret the necessity which requires
such nominations; but there is an imperative
necessity for it nosc. and will be SO long as
the opposition party put only one candidate

every candidate should depend upon his own
