yet been said publicly in reference to the
Senatorial Convention, either as to time,
place, or candidates. Thinking that the
time has arrived for some suggestions on
the subject. and having consulted with sew
ersl gentlemen prominent in the Republican
ranks, we now take the liberty of naming
the SECOND WEDNEsDAr OF SEPTEMBER as
the time, and GALLrPoLrs as the place ior
holding the Convention.
The delegates from this county will prob
ably be selected by our County Convention
ON the 9TH of September. The time fixed
viii allow the other counties ample time to
select delegates as they may think proper.
What say you, gentleman? Are you
