The Republicans of Warren county
will be loyal to the straight Republican
ticket There may be few who will
not support Mr.. Sibley, but the major
ity of the Republicans will. They are
strongly opposed to fusion. The Re-
| publicans have nothing to gain by any
such movement. The fusion craze has
had its day. If Mr.. Emery wanted to
be candidate he should have taken
the regular course and gone before the
conference. The convention gave Hon.
Jos. G. Sibley the unanimous vote of
the four counties in the district, and
the people will support the action of
the conference. Warren county Re-
publicans are not fusionists.- Warren
