business men, as freemen, men who appre-

The general sentiment of the meeting
was for an unpledged delegation, repre-.
sentative men who would go TO the Con

chair for eight years. At the close of his
remarks, and frequently during their de-

DR.. Tebbets made a short address coun-
selling all TO go in for a square deal. He
said You all know how it goes in the
Convention. One man pulls the spring and
away goes the First Ward twenty-five votes

our lives, show our independence. We
propose to have a square deal, and we will
