not only denied admission but one of the
delegates, l.. IL. Murch, the chairman of
the district committee, was dropped al
together in the appointing of a new com
mittee. 1t was thought Mr. Murch would
retire to a room and hold Il convention
all by himself, but this plan seems to have
been abandoned perhaps because the
atmospheric atmosphere" referred to by
one of the speakers, was 50 charged with
the other Murch that this one man power

HAY G found himself nominating the other
Murch in spite of himself. As it is the
voters of the Fifth District have to choose
between Milliken and Nurch in Septem-
Der next and we have no doubt as to
what the verdict will be. one thing is

upon which the war was conducted The doctrine
has gradually been making progress III the kcpub
hcan party and is now for the first time distinctly
ennneiated in the Republican platform.
Those who We're schooed in the belief
Of the stern old patriots who founded the
government, and who affixed to the con
slitution the preamble declaring that it
was ordained AN ORDER TO FORM i

to the views Of the Axe. Neither do
those who hold with jackson in his war
