Ny position is this: Our state commit

convention held in Baltimore in 1884
which conferred its regularity by vote of
$40 to 4. There is but one state commit

The methods which they critlcise have been

committee thereupon called Montaney's
name in proxy, and that gentleman served
and voted with the stalwarts for Madden.
