When any one has catarrh of the head
or throat they know IL. Shutting, sneez-

THE REPUBLICAN SHOWDOWN.

AS stated by President Murray, the
Republicans presented no authentica-
ted statistics at the time OF making
the legislative apportionment so that
the convention might have the benefit
of any special knowledge which they
claim TO be in their possession and
the president of the convention is
now magaanimous enough TO appoint
committee to take any evidence
they may have TO offer and present
the same to the convention on July
