There are number of journals and a
great number Of voters who would not
support anybody likely to be before the
Cincinnati convention, with the exception
of Mr.. Brstow. This isn't what you call
boiling. One has to be inside party be.

however, to act with those present and
other independent voters to induce the re-
publican party to nominate for president
the present secretary of the treasury, Hon.
Is. IL. Bristow, but if the republican party,
listening to Its purely partisan leaders, put |
