eral hours debate both ( actions com
menced preparing the basis of agree
ment. It is doubtful whether this
document will bo completed to-night.

ness ; second , competent party oilicinls

ruloa and established law ; fifth
and sixth , no compulsory politi
cal assessments or proscription
for failure to respond ; seventh , state

ing fitness of nominees to command

state convention to bo the same as
delegates to a generally assembly are
nominated After this year the state
convention is to bo held the second
week in July , except in case of exi
gency , and everybody voting the re
publican presidential ticket to be al
lowed to take part in the primaries.
It is also recommended that county
organizations bo allowed the greatest
latitude in primary elections.
edoy j iho independents"was'a strong
document , declaring the machine

Tlio drift ot opinion to-night among
politicians from all parts of the state
who wore at the hotel is that the

surrender nothing.
Before adjournment a resolution
was adopted that the principles were
nominally n personal part of the com
mittee and not binding on the other
faction.
