ventions were only matter OF form, q
committee being appointed to bring III
resolutions which were already prepared
and readily endorsed, but this time II
was entirely different. The nominees
were in doubt except for governor which
was generally conceded for Hardin
Norman's friends, or rather Warren
enemies. who were composed mostly o
the democrats who generally have thei,
way, were greatly disappointed anC
their defeat was hardly expected 10y
