Warner ana Davis Men Return From,
SprlngHcld.

The Davis and Warner special trains ar
rived from, Springfield yesterday morning,
and other members OF the two parties
which went down TO the Republican state
convention came in on regular trains dur
ing the day. The Warner men were high
ly elated over the nomination of Lewis for
governor over Webster Davis. as they looh
upon the action OF the convention in de-
fcatinE Davis as u rebuke to the methods
which prevailed in the recent county con-
vention in this city. The nomination Of
Lewis assures the enthusiastic support of
the rank and file of the Republican party
of the county.
The Davis special brought back a num-
ber of very sor.arooters. They took the
defeat of Dayis very much TO heart but
bore up fairly we'll under the circum-
stances. Leading members of the Davis
their hearty support They took all the
comfort they could from the reflection
that Lewis. was a compromise candidate,
and that, II Davis did lose, the other side
did not gain everything. Major Warner
and Davis himself did not return on the
special trains, but remained to the end Of
the convention. Despite the animation
with which the fight was carried on, the
members OF the Warner and Davis parties
mixed in a very friendly way after 1t was
all over.
