 Delegates Town Conventions:
 Gentlemen: We believe that some action | should be taken in regard to the rules governing the action of the republican party in the conduct of its affairs; In other words. we have outgrown the rules passed December 1, 1881, and ques- tions are constantly arising that the town committee are unable to decide, owing to the rules not being adequate to reach the cases, and we believe some action should be taken by your honor able body so that either an entire new set of rules be adopted. or the old rules amended so that in the future the town committee can adjudge matters coming before it for decision or adjustment. Very respectfully
 JAMES H. MACDONALD.
