After the result of the balloting was
announced, Judge r. X. Nichols of this
city made the only speech of the con.
vention. His remarks were brief, but
they were to the point. He deplorej the
fight that the primaries and convention
had precipitated, but rejoiced in the fact
that even if republicans did have diff
ferences of this kind, they did not carry
them to the polls on election day; they
would all get together after fights OF
this character and work for the success
of the party; he did not believe in view.

concluded three rousing cheers were Civ.
