mond yesterday evening. Twenty-Five
members of the committee were repre-

various phases Of the political situation,
locally and in the State at large, were
discussed in an informal way, but the
best method for healing the differences

furnished the chief topic of the meeting.
There was decidedly disposition
manifested to bury the Ratchet and pro-

republican party.
The committee adjourned Just after
adopting the following
