If the convention was packed. the pack
ing began when the people met in their
respective precincts and voted according
to the primary system for the candidates.
Col. TONNES received the Instructions of

vote of 10 in the county convention.
Then, why not, "Horatio," keenly feel
the insult offered by the action OF the
Democratic primary precinct conven-
tons, rs well as the county and district
conventions? "Horatio'' says: "Who

Webster does not understand the tern,or

unceasing and persistent.appealst to them
