AS there has been 4 great deal of complain:
about Republicans going to and voting in
the Democratic primaries, we wish to say
that the Republicans of this part of Iron
county are not guilty of very great wrong in
doing so, for they were very strongly urged
by the candidates (both personally and by
letter. to not only vote for them at the prim-
airy but to electioneer for them, and they did
too, with all their might, body, mind and
strength. In fact some Of the Republicans
did more for their Democrat friends than
the Democrats did.
The Republicans Of this township met
recently and elected 3 delegates: Mr.. Jas.
Bryan Mr.. David CuretOn and Mr.. a. Hen
