"Beaver Creek" urges the policy of u
full and fair convention OF the people

of nominating candidate for the State

so proper should be sufficient of itself,
yet so important do we regard the step
that we call attention to j, again. The

tive of division which the Conservative
party should not desire and we fear cam
not afford. Even if its overwhelming
numbers can bid defiance to its OWL
multiplicity Of candidates and the unity
of the Radical party, there are yet
grave reasons why the Convention
should be held. We should be warned
by the fate which overlook and over
threw the multitudinous and corrupt
party which has SO nearly ruined the
Commonwealth. 1t was wrecked upon
