Mr.. Freeman said he understood that the
Emery men would crowd the ranks OF the Re-
publican party for the purpose of insuring the

any man voting for delegates who did not intend
to support the nominee. There were a large
number of loud-mouthed men in the party who
never voted the ticket, and they should be ruled
out.

The resolutions were then adopted.

meeting on Wednesday, and that when this
meeting adjourns it be to Wednesday next at

Mr.. Boston suggested that the meeting be
called for 10 O'Clock a. m.
Mr.. Cook said that would be irregular.
The motion of Mr.. Bond was carried.
Mr.. Cook said that in some way il has got out
that the registration this year is not favorable
to the party as last year. This was mistake.

for the benefit of the party, and will give them

compared those in the or organization to the cop
perhead snake. In the Seventh Ward, which
is their stronghold, they had 400, but he was glad
to saw that in the Third Ward they had not made
much Roadway. Their chief is George Wilson.

Mr.. Cook declined, he said, because he under.
stood that many men were coming out Of IL, and
he had promised not to make the disclosure at
this time. He would give them few days to
repent and would give them q little Of their
fatted calf, but would not trust them. He
would sit them in a corner until they could show
their faith by their works. Sinners may be con-
verted, but without works they never amounted
to much. In conclusion, he urged that they be
faithful to the old nag and not led estray and
they would be sure to win.
