opposed to the doctrine of protection,
and was an Out-dnd-OW ,free-trGder.
George d. Spencer of Fairhaven, ven
, tilated bis views on county rings. He
didn't, however, he said, come here as a
Greeley or Grant man. He couldn't say
who he should vote for, but he desired
to break up the ring. He remembered
the time when the county was bound up
and delivered up to the ring; and th"
President of this convention helped ~
it. and he was glad if he (Nicho|Som
