A party is not a faction; and 5 members of a party should not be . , described invidiously as partisans. . A partisan as now understood is a _ factionist. But the Democrat was cor- , root in its statement that all the of- . licers of the convention were selected from members- of ' the republican . party. and, says the Rockford Star. the members were mainly politicians. The constitution has â€"a republican tone. It has also a local tone. Cook county had thirty-eight delegates and the rest of the state sixty~eight. But the northern delegates were not us assiduous in attendance as the south- ern. The attendance of southern delegates at the convention was about twenty-five per cent better than that of the northern. The southerners be‘ gun ,theret‘ore. with a majority, says the Chicago Journal and by reason of their good attendance were able to accomplish the task they had long determined upon.
