Roberts party. Mr.. W. G. Sterrett denounced
in harsh terms the course pursued by the
anti-Roberts men ard counseled them never

tempted to be played upon them. They (the
Roberts men) regarded themselves as true
and tried Democrats and were far from taking
any steps toward disrupting the
party. The antiRoberts men had
come in cut and primed. The wealthy mer-
chants and bankers of the city were against
the Roberts party, yet he would never submit
to such demagoguery as had been exhibited by
the other side. The anti-Roberts men had
stood shoulder to shoulder with the boilers
and Independents in this convention, and he
was in favor instead ofbeng famned by such

take action alone.
