sent full and able representation Of the party in

report, the Committee on Permanent Organization

TRIUMPH FOR THE CONSERVATIVE MEN
of the country who were opposed to the present
administration. They might not take candidate
for the Presidency who would be their choice. but
he thought there should be yielding OF opinions
so that the voters opposed TO the administration
could act together. He only spoke for himself but
he thought that II the nomination should fall upon

Of only five hnes issued under law passed

latures and Courts, but on the soil OF Illinois the
army had been organized q police force, ana
while the State protested the army persevered.

national idea, and declaring That the aim OF the
