THE DUTY OF THE REPUBLICAN
STATE CONVENTION.
OF Massachusetts.

It's the duty Of the delegates to the
Republican State Convention, which
convenes tomorrow at Reno, to try
and harmonic all conflicting inter-
ests. They should not act simply "a
Jones or Nye men, but the good Of the
Republican party should be the para
mount consideration. They should
raise themselves II possible, above all
petty feelings Of animosity, striving
only to advance the principles which
we all profess to esteem so highly.
Those who favor Mr.. Jones' election to
the United States Senate will have III
merically the ascendancy in the Con-
ventlon, but we caution them against
the attempt 10 ride rough shod over
delegates who do not. We hope that
Jones will SEQ the vital necessity OF
concilIsting all good Republicans, and
not. permit any injudicious friends Of
his to browbeas aud abuse those who
may prefer Senator Nye or any other
good man to represent them in the ma
tional councils. We hope the State
Convention will not be q farce, like
the Storey County Convention, where
everything was cut and dried before
hand. Should Mr.. Jones friends pur-
sue the same tactics In thi, State Con-
vention which they saw proper to
adopt In Storey county, we shall with
out fear or favor denounce them, be-
lievlng that the good Of the great Re-
publican party Is Of much greater i'm
portance than the success Of any indl-
vidual or clique.
