Convention as friends TO fight a com
mon foe, and not each other; herce we
deny the right of any section Of the
party to take any ssef'et action which
treats as foe and unworthy saare in
the proceedings of the Convention,
Enough representing, as we believe, the
sentiment ef the actual majority of the
Republicaaa voters Of the State.
