nen sR, by their action in Convention, have de-
caded to sink all subordinate State issues In the
general question of the Presidency, and the lions
ana the lambs in view OF the present exigency,
will consent temporarily to lie by each others side
FOR time it was thought by politicians gener-
ally that the Republican State Convention
Of to-day would be copy In minia
sure OF the great Butler jamboree last
year. The General had made public statements
that he would accept the labor reform nomination
for the GOvernorshp If he could get 1t; that II he
failed to receive that honor he would try to obtain
the straight republican nomination to-day; that II
he was unable to achieve this he would work to
prevent the nomination Of Governor Washburn;
and that generally he would be q disturbing ele-
ment In the republican party. These announce
ments naturally created some little CONSERVATION,
and II was feared that they would he carried into
practical erect. Fortunately for the peace
and comfort Of all concerned, however, in
aucemcnts were laid before the General which
caused him to retract his assertion and assume
passive part in his treatment OF local issues. As
matters stand now therefore, all issues are sub0r-
dinate to those involved In the national campaign,
and the fight viii be square, standup contest be-
tween the liberals and the republicans without
reference to the questions OF railways, liquor and
other tribes which have heretofore made Massa-
