test against the admission of pretended dele
gates at large from Illinois as being secured by
fraud and triclsery, heretofore unknown to the

in the Presidential election, will unflinchingly
oppose the consummation of the political
crime against the DISTINGUISHED Republicans of
the state They also Epp1arn that nv dichop-
estly foisting candidate whom the people do
not desire, the machine is endangering success
and counting defeat in November.
