Il ia an undoubted fact that the re-
pubhcan party of this city Is not IN a
state OF absolute unity OIL the endorse
ment of Col. John T. Crisp. The
..kickn sounds from everywhere-from
the streets, stores. offices, from that

ers have been feeling the political
pulse. The opinions are picked up at

representatives; neither any excrtlons
to find men particularly prominent
the plan has been rather to obtain the
sentiment and voice OF the people, the
masses who comprise the republican
party, All occupations are represent
ted, all classes, all grades. The ques-
ton put to one and all was simply
