Emerson; secretary, Jos. Trckcy,
which report was agreed to.
A motion was then made and car
ried, that the convention vote by ballot

monstrance

republican party, i'm county, state and
national tickets. which was carried.
At this point c. G. Nicols suggested
that he had heard that one of the dele
gates from Ninmeha township was a
Greeley man. One of the delegates
from that place replied that he guessed
that il must be mistake. that he did /
not know Greeley man in the whole
township. [Laughter.l

high position of L. 5. senator.
DIR. Allen came forward and i'm effect
answered that il was not fair to ask
from him pledges upon questions

Mr.. 4. p. Thompson then came for ;.
