There is 4 much more united feeling
in the county now than there has ever
been before. We think that the peo-

the nominations, from the fact that
the cancuses throughout the county
! were unusually well attended. and
the delegates when coming into con-
vention seemed to be Ill united in
opinion as to the nominations. A
