THE COUNTY CONVENTION.

The meeting oil the delegates IN TINS place
ON last Monday was characterized with the
utmos, harmony and good feelRg. A few
delegates were prevented from reaching
here on account of the storm and high wat
.er, but their votes would have made no ma.
teral change in the result.
II will be noticed that delegates were in
the convention from the lower end Of the
county, thus showing that the true Democ :
racy Of Columbia recognize no division Of
the county, and have the utmost faith in the
repeal movement.
For Congressional Couferees Messrs Der
and Funsto. understand the feeling OF the
county, and, as the Congressman is conced.
ed to Luzerne, will concur in the nomination
of any good Democrat who shall be fairly
the choice of that county through its Demo-
cratic Convention.
While Columbia comedies the Congress-
man, she claims the Senator, and presents
10 the District man unexceptionabe as a
Democrat and Of the most eminent ability.
Mr.. Buckalew was the unanimous choice Of
rthe Convention, and those who know him
best feel that his thorough knowledge of pub
lie questions, and the character he has won
for himself, are the best guarantee that their
interests will be well sustained by him in
the Senate. AT the bar, in political contests,
in Democratic Stale Conventions, and where
ever else he has been tried, his ability and
integrity have been proved and established
There can be no doubt of his confirmation
by Luzerne county and triumphant election
afterward.
For Member and Commissioner the Con-
vention made no nomination, leaving 1t 10
the Repeal Meeting of next Monday 10 pre-.
sent men upon that issue.
The editor of This paper received the
