October 9th.
1t was a little after 10 o'clock when
Chairman McCulloch of the commit
tee called the meeting to order, and
aside from Canal Fulton and North
Lawrence the precincts outside of Can
ton we're not represented.
In stating the object of the gath
ering McCulloch said that the with
drawal of Grant from the congression-
al race was much against his wishes and
the desires of nearly, if not all, of
the ia patriots who had stood by
Grant through thick and thin at
Youngstown and Salem He said that
according to the action OF the congress
sional committee at Alliance 1t was
incumbent upon the committee to
adopt rules and regulations for another
primary and according to an arrange
ment made with Mahoning and Colum-
biana counties, he presented the fol-
lowing, which was exactly like the ones
to be adopted by both the other coun-
ties of the district:

There was but little discussion on
the adoption of the rules but when
Chairman McCulloch asked the mem
bers of the committee present to ex-
press their views on the manner in
which they had been set down and
whether or not the Republicans of
the county wanted a candidate for
congress, there was some difference OF

he had been for Grant through his
candidacy for years past, but that now
