are wtieing about, and we warn the public
now that there is great danger OF the most
corrupt and unscrupulous lobby that ever
was organized obtaining complete control Of
that there are men elected to the convantion 1,
who have been bought and sold for years, and
at the polls with no other object but to seII

who have been selected to redeem it, and who
will sell their votes for money. For such
men, under such circumstances, plundered

grand total of forty, and when that Is accom-
plished to apply for pension the balance of
