That we solicit the aid and assistance of conservative men of all political parties in the election of a representative to Congress who will faithfully and impartially serve his constituency regardless of the importance of any foreign interests that conflict with ours.

Dr. Reed, John M: Winklsy of Monon are sterling Democrats, and did much to enhance the pleasure of those in attendance. At the close of the proceedings of the convention we were made the recipient of the handsomest boquet prepared for the occasion, and the donors, Mrs. Dr. Reed and daughter, are hereby tendered the sincere thanks of the editor longer in continuous service than any other in the district. It was exceedingly gratifying to us to meet a very large number of old “standbys” in the past, with whom, in days gone by, we have stood shoulder to shoulder in many a bitter political contest. The large number of citizens tn attendance from all over the district, and the interest manifested by all in the proceedings was accepted as a good omen.
