UNIT RULE CONVENTIONS

1 flatter of FtJi-ni. rev. thk i.'t.i-i .'Lir.vN, y 1 have endeavored and continue try in my “feeble way and manner." to impress the “mighty men” in our party'councils that our party actions should tally with our party precepts. A mass conv( ntidn on January J 21,1888, or on any day of any year, ; is a'mockery to the rank and file • ! voter who may dwell remote. No | mass convention can be Republican unless s.) near to each "voter’s home that he call attend nnd not •‘liaiss a meal or pay a cent.’' Let us4>e thankful that the confodor- j ate system is being discarded even 1 measunbly in our party ceremonies.'
