voted Tor our present governor, VI
our present state treasurer. Let re-
publicans be consistent as we'll as
patriotic.
There were at the convention sew
eraI former Baxter men who went
there for purpose, and to those who
possessed so much as a grain OF COM
mon sense it was evident what that
purpose was to prevent the nomlna-
ton of Mr.. Smith, so that Mr.. Bax-
ter's proposal to withdraw In his Ia
vor might be rejected; they hoped his
foes would spurn the offer and nomi-
nate a new man. And why? Be-
cause Mr.. Bakers declination took
effect only in case his friend Mr.. Smith
was accepted by the friends Of Judge
HOyt. and should he be refused and
another man taken it would still leave
Mr.. Baxter in the field. This was a
'cOnsummation" they "devoutly wish
ed for" To bring it about they bent
all their energies upon the members
of the convention and attempted a
diversion in favor of Judge Adds, as
the man whom all Baxter men would |
most cordially support. But the con-
vention saw through the flimSey veil
and took the liberty to select its own
man, and we think the popular heart
of the district will vote a hearty amen.
Had the convention acceded to the
wish of Baxter's friends what would
have been the result? They would
have Swarmed through the district
and shouted See now, fellow citi-
zens, how they reject our every pro-
position to harmonic! Baxter offers
to withdraw and support the man the
Hovt papers have named, and they re-
fuse to stand by their own PROPOSE
ton Now let us take hold once more
and hurrah for Baxter This was
their game then: to so manipulate the
F.. convention that it would reject all
| overtures of peace, when Mr.. Baxter
S would again be in the field and in gooC
