From all over the county comes
word that the republicans Of all
kinds desire to get together and SUP.
port the republican county ticket
this year, and many deplore the cal
ling Of the silver republican county
convention at the time for separate
convention. Besides, the fact that a
resolution was put through to hold
that convention on the same days as
the democrats and populists leads
many to believe that some woudb
manipulators want to put up job on
the silver republicans to have them
90 in with the other parties with
which they have nothing in common
except profession Of extreme friend
illness to silver by those other parties
Most Of the silver republicans now
realize that it was mistake, and in
consequence many will not attend
the primaries.
