lands denomination is pretty sure thing IN any case
1t has been proposed that Mr. Leon ALBEIT shodd lie

1t is considered certain that ntiCleveand fele-
CATION would have been sent from NcwJersey II there
HAD been any show for Governor Hill. and II is not

The Essex County Republicans Will hold their
district convention 10 select delegates 10 Chicago on
the same day as the Democratic State Convention,

porary chairman and II Mr.. Phelps can DO present,
