that the appointment OF John II.

can state Central Committee ut the
last meeting Of that body Is not
likely to add very much to the har.

to u practical Endorsement OF the

regard We are constrained to say that
there Is something almost ludicuous

the State convention Mt Springfield
last week. In loud.toncd resolutions
the Republican State Central Com.

being unalterably opposed to the pol.
Icy OF nominating u candidate for the
United States Senate, and the State
convention loftily repudiatcd an ef-

Senatorial ambitions OF the other
candidates, and may probably have
the effect of driving most OF them
out OF the field.
Hon. William T.. Mason addressed
a strong protest and warning to the
