mission of the Convention. would be read at Mr..

forth his position and views with regard to the re-
publican party. He said he was sorry to learn
that certain articles appearing in Haypers Weekly
had created such . feeling among the republicans
throughout the State. He thought that every true
republican should be governed by his own con-
science, and, to himself, he would vote for the
devil il he was the head of the ticket II mis- con-
science taught him to do Mr. Curtis closed by ton
