which would dictate to outside mem
bers Of the executive committee to
whom they might send their proxies.
he could muster only three votes beside
those he controlled by reason of proxies.
The feature OF the meeting of the Re
publican Central Committee last even
ing was the complete backing down of
the men who thought they could Sc
cure the adoption of a resolution in
which even in the most remote way the
name OF Governor Dole could be con-
nected with a vacancy in the office
which he fills--So complete was the
defeat OF the plan of the wing which
had for its aim the discreditIng of the
executive, that it was recognized and

luton was had IT was the father who
said he last sad words. The publica-
sion OF the statement of the Governor

the factious opposition all it's ground.
