become convinced that the Republican
party is the party of progress and

prevailed and all feel that there is in
store a great Republican victory this
year. While the meeting was in prog
ress the Democratic, campaign commit
| tee arrived and asked for a conference
with the Republican managers and the
same was very cheerfully granted. The
Democrats, headed by Mariana LARA
goite, who is running for the council,
submitted a remarkable proposition to
| the Republicans. 1t is this, that both
campaign committees disband and re-
turn to their respective homes without
canvassing the county. The PROPOSE
| ton was, as a matter of course. very
| graciously declined. The Republican
