moved three men from the city central com.
mlttee because they were not supporting
the regular nominee. AT the next meeting
the Porterites rallied all their forces to nut
their men back, but the movement only
developed the fact that seyen-eghths of the
meeting were against them.
Last night meeting was held here in
the interest Of Porter The meeting had
been most extensively advertised for
several days; large posters were displayed
extensively on the walls, and hand-bills as
numerous as autumnal leaves were profIse-
ly distributed about the streets, and the
Porter crowd had been industriously adj
vertising the meeting through the town.
The result was less than n hundred
voters in attendance last, night. and more
than half of those were friends of Mr.
Stowell who went out of curiosity To hear
what Porter would have to saw for him
self.
No enthusiasm was manifested. and the
dry harangue of Porter fell like n wet
blanket on the spirits of even "porter,s
own" These are significant facts, and
Porterites may indulge in from now until
doomsday.

nominee. -

every patriotic Republican in this district
go to work with every confidence in az.

people everywhere, and even those few
who are now supporting the bolter will see
the error OF their way and come back into

the State Convention which assem-

and after endorsing, with great
unanimity, the Liberal movement
elected a number of Delegates to

pose a separate Democratic nomi'

herself upon a common platform
with her sister Southern States.
