was nominated for governor at his own
/" Home Coming convention held at
Madison on Tuesday afternoon and
more than two thousand men from all
parts Of the state shouted themselves
hoarse as Philip took the platform
and accepted the nomination from the

OF the state, representing all factions
of the republican party. It5was notice

The convention did not bear any
stamp of regularity and not one Of the

ed to be to secure reunion of all the
republicans in the state under the ma
tional committee Of the party. Keno
