First Blood for the Qnay Men. The convention, which started out with every promise of being one of the most exciting ever known in the state, developed into a "love feast" and wound up about as tamely as any ever seen here.

It has been hot and many things have been said and published, and more things have been published than said, which have only made it hotter. Should Nót Treasure Up Hard Woz;ds. "These things shoiild not be treasured up as wrongs. In a fight like this we fight our bost, and while the desperate fighting provokes and worries at the time, yet aftei it is over the hardest fighters are only remembered with admiration for their courage and their braver}7.
