attracted 10 that event OF late by an attempt to
organize an Independent republican movement

can organization has been effected and the roll or
membership comprises 150 1t is Claimed that the
olSanecton extends all over the state. but the re-
publican managers say it Will not influence 500
votes aCogether The opposition manifested does not
lnciuoe the state ticket. 1t Is against the presi

harmonious There Is some feeling over the con-

democrats entertain some hope OF carrying the
state, enough to prompt them to make hard
fight
