terday by every delegate in the con-
VentiOn. Every precinct in the coun-
ty was represented in the convention
and every precinct in the county was
represented by its full delegation.
1t may be said and said without
reservation after the work done by
yesterdays convention, that the effort
to bring about the restoration Of
party harmony in this county by the
Territorial committee and by Govern
or Curry has been entirely successful
When the so-called Harmony commits

comRhittee and the governor doubts
were expressed as to the practieability

conclusively that the men who pro-
posed the plan were thoroughly con-
versant with the conditions in this
county and that they recognized that
certain decisive steps must be taken
before the party could be restored to
its normal strength and effectiveness.
The result has shown that the great
mass of the republican voters of the
county have desired only the oppOr-
tunity to demonstrate their deep de-
sire for united party and their un-
swerving party loyalty and that all
that was necessary to bring about this
result was to return the party affairs
to the hands of the rank and file Of
tH republican voters. ny
