Wc notice that Cam and Pulaski oonnties each adopt the precinct representation. In the convention we favor the plan of each delegate voting for the candidate whom he believes will nearest meet the wiahei of the Republicans in his precinct. Wc are opposed to oonnties voting as units in a district convention and to States voting as units in the National convention. We want to see perfect harmony and fairness in the convention, and the nominee ia onr man after the convention, nntil then we are for Simon P. Thompson, and believe he can get more votes and would be a more useful man in Congress than any yet mentioned.
