equally, divided between Democrats and
Republicans.
Not a dissenting voice was raised, and
the entire ticket was Endorsed and. the
organization pledged to Its support from

towards the ticket had been entertained,
took the floor and proposed three cheers
for the nominees, which was given with
a whoop that must have been heard by
Cornelius Furgueson at his home, sew
eral blocks distant.
Secretary Seibert was then instructed
formally to notify the various political
and taxpayers associations of the town
which had participated in the conference
