~ conservative and honorable administration Of Gov
ernor Hill, and
| Resolved That the administration Of Governor David
b. Hill merits the hearty respect and consideration o.
| the conventions.

chiefs were waved in profusion he Governor pr

| to a friend II the Governor wants the n0ml
| nation he will get it by reclamation"
