there is very little disposition among |
Republicans to ignore the action Of the |
late Republican couniy convention.
All seem to be satisfied to stand by

nations, In which all the leading Re
publicans Of the county Joined. They
all were earnest n the struggle, for
they knew that the convention would |
decide the whole matter. Why should
they have spent % much Of their time
In attempting 10 secure the nomina-
ton Of their favorites. II they had not
supposed the convention to be dec,s-
i've? They worked q II for "dear /
life," knowing that the nomination
would decide the whole masser.
