organization (club) did not interfere in any
way with State ORGANIZATIONS, and they should
be glad to have members OF State organiZa-
tons join with them. At the meeting OF the

three meetings a Week.

When Fremont wanted to run tor the Presi-

commission and there was that much gained.
He had had some hope that Mcclellan would

Mr.. Coombs rrOfessrd himself convinced by
the eloquence OF the gentleman who had taken
so discursive filghr, and withdre " his amend
