remain over until tomorrow. 1t is not only
hoped that the session will rebound to the

that each and every individual member at

grant memories OF the event, the city, and
its people.
SOLID CONVENTION. "

this city contained better material. They
are an honor to America and fit representa-
tives of its honest industry and moral
worth.

any like deliberative body in the country.
The members OF the Convention take with
them to their homes the best wishes OF our
people for their success and prosperity, in
divlduallv and as an association.
