tnDugat thsy had a majority there.
they were unwilling to yield; they were
unwilling to submit to the principles of
the Republican party-of both the Re
publican party and the genius of the
Government-to submit to the control
ot the majority. Two years ago, they
testify. the Others attempted TO control
Yakima county, bot made a failure.
DID they start eff by themselves and
bring the matter bsfore you here? They
submitted TO their failure like men.
they had the organic alton with them,

are not Iricksters. They are men whom
this Convention has honored before.
They are men who have spent their
time and their money for the propasa-

who stano ready TO do Il again. Men
who are honored by the Federal Gov

United States Land Offics. Mr.. Carey

coadiutors9 Are they to consulate
themselves judges of the Rspublicanlsm

these gentlemen here? A member of
the Republican party Is in favor If for

This is a question anon which Repuoli- |

We consider that this is a proposition
upon which mem may honestly differ, |
Just AS they would differ in regard tn /
