ship, Mr.. Stevens remarked that he
considered it unnecessary to speak of
the outrage perpetrated by the republi-
can county central committee in their
endeavor to disrupt the republican
party of this county by an unjust and
unfair apportionment Of delegates to
this convention. and inasmuch as the
said committee had been overwhelnl-
ingly defeated in such attempt, so
much so that they now refuse to ap'
pear in convention, it remains only
for this convention TO proceed with
the TRANSACTION of it's business in the
slme fearless and principled manner
that has heretofore distinguished the
republican party Of this county.
