that he had hidden himself to escape
an interview. The convention then
adjourned for eight hours to discover
if possible, the whereabouts of Mr..
Newlands and get his views on his
own platform. At eight o'clock p. m.
instead Of appearing before the CON

of declination that sounded like an
imperial ukase.
For one entire day the seeding
delegates who did the bidding of Mr..

Grey, the secretary of state. to GER
tify to the county clerks of the state
that he was the regular nominee of
the Republican convention, and hired
an attorney, Mr.. Deal, to mandamus
in case of refusal. He knew that the
secretary would recognize the presi-
Dental electors and if they were reg
