temperance organization, Of which Mr.
John Ii. Forest Is secretary; but this co n
ventlOn Is no tail to Forests kite, but an
assembly of free, intelligent men. seeking
the good of all. am a Republican. always
have been. and still hope to be. but we
most cordially invite every man of what
ever party or creed, whose views agree
with those met together to-day, to unite
and cooperate with US. Our caucuses have
been captured and run in the interest Of
other principles than those We this DAY rep
resent. Would that it were otherwise in
our last Republican county convention.
This Is no secret organization, as it has been
intimated gotten up TO defeat Mr. Edmunds
lou and / know that no man could live
politically in this county. or expect an cleo
ton to the legislature, who should oppose
Mr.. Edmunds for an instant Ii Is all a
myth and dciusion gotten up by our OPP

one day IN the year when every one can do
his part, and have an equal voice ia saying

The eyes OF many good people OF this county
are upon us. We are here not to indulge in
personalities. which are detrimental 90 any
party, but in the interest OF a good cause.
