number OF the delegates are IN FAVOR
OF indorsng the Syracuse ticket while what seems to be
majority In favor Of indorsing neither ticket but
leaving 1t to individual preferences Of the Liberal
their ballots for whichever ticket they

yersed several OF the delegates on the train coming
up Col Fred A. Conkng said he was strongly in favor
OF ndorsing the entire ticket nominated Syracuse He
could not see how any Liberal could support Gov DIX

Liberals left the Republican party in 1872 as a

the Liberals should indsrse the Syracuse ticket The
Democrats Endorsed that of the Liberals In 1872 and this
would be but slight return. IL tue Republican ticket

those Republicans who are console nously opposed TO
