posed by w. J. Smith and others on
the ground that the convention was
regularly called and that therefore it
was the duty of good Republicans to
be properly represented in its delibera-
tions rather than sulking in their tents
over fancied and imaginary grievances;
that county convention was no place
to pat disaffected parties on the back
and administer sugar candy to them
that the Republicans of the 9th district
were all right and as true as any Re-
publicans in the county and it was only
a few soreheads who had concocted the
paper: and a good deal more in the
same strain.
A member from the LIST district said
that the LIST district would not recog-
nizesulkers who fretted over imaginary
wrongs.
