the spontaneous preference and decision Of the
masses of those who delegated men to represent
them in this convention, and most faithfully

of Mr. Finck for the position which he has beer
thus enthusiastically and unanimously Domi-
mated for The reputation he has made as Ssna-
tor IL q sufficient warrant of the euccess he will
