pose OF electing delegates to the State and

cred and rejected. Gen. Sherry, in support
OF his resolutions, made very laughable
speech. He ssid the Republicans had been
loyal TO their locality, and had
instructed the delegates to Manhattan to
support "Leavenworth man." and the
Democracy must do the same. He said il
was strange that Leavenworth Democrats
had voted at the primaries for the Geo. I. |
delegates, and that Democratic capitalists |
were Spending their time and money in the |
same cause, but it probably was because |
they wanted "Leavenworth man" Gen. |
Sherry said that 100 Democrats in the Sec |
ond Ward and the same number in the |
Third Ward had voted for Geo. T. dele |
gates at the Republican primaries. He !
said he was in favor of DIR. 5. F. Nicely for |
Governor and III. T. Green for Congress.
