DIR. J. w. David of Muscoda then
introduced the following resolution.
Whereas. Certain resolutions were
passed at q caucus at Fennimore Cen.
ter on the Goth of August charging.
That Hon. G. G. HazeIton and his
friends had packed majority of the
Republican caucuses of this Assembly
District. in favor of Mr.. Hazelton,
and have caused said resolutions to
be published in The Republican papers
of this district.
Noao Therefore, We declare said
resolutions utterly false, unfounded
II fact, and without the shadow or
sem blance Of truth whatever, aid we
assert without the fear of contradic
ton that nineiy-nine out OF every
hundred of the Republicans of the
towns complained of were at the
time of holding said caucuses and
still are unalterably in favor of Mr..
Hazelton for Congress and that no
unfairness or improper conduct can
be or is charged by any OF the Re-
publicans of the towns represented
in this convention, in relation to the
manner of holding these caucuses.
After many statements OF individ-
ual members of she convention, deny
ing the truthfulness of the Fenni-
moro resolutions, the resolutions of
DIR. j. w. David were unanimously
adopted.
Moved and carried, that the fore
going resolution be published in all
of the Republican newspapers of this
Congressional District. Meeting ad-
journed.
