Repub1can County Conrenrion-NomLnees


The announcement in the call for Conyen-
tiOn that proposition would be submitted by
the Central Committee suggesting the propri-
ETY. of so changing the basis Of delegation to
future County Conventions, that delegates
should be appointed upon the Republican
vote in the various Townships and Wards,
created unusual interest throughout the
County, and every delegation was full
Many of the prominent members and wheel
horses of the party who were not delegates were
in attendance from the several Townships, and
it is seldom indeed when a nominating con-
yention has filed the Court House with so strong
an array of substantial, intelligent, earnest and
infexible men, The feeling against any change
in the basis of representation in the Wards
and Townships was so general, that after a
brief discussion the resolution to retain the
present number of six delegates to each Ward
and Township was adopted nea-ly unanimously
We congratulate the Country and the City On
the decision, fully believing that the present
aPpOrsion nent is the most equitable under the
circumstances, and the best calculated TO pro-
mote harmony and secure the continued ascend
ency of RepubIicanism in Cuyahoga. ANY feel
ing which may have sprung up betweeA the
Township and the City during the Pendeney and
discussion of the proposition, we trust will ex-
pire with the settlement of the question, and
the only rivalry in future will be to sec which
viii roll up the largest Republican vote on cleo
-, l., IL
closer bound by the action of the 4th of Sep
tember Convention.
The ticket presented by the C invention is in
all respects an excellent one. The re-nOmina-
ton ofHoRAcE FOoTE, for Judge of the Court Of
Common Pleas, by acclamation, was deserved
compliment 10 an able and upright Judge-one
who would be an ornament to the Supreme
Bench of the State
DAVID L. WIsHrNAN, for Sheriff, has the
endorsement not only Of the votes Ofthe COnven-
tion, but what is much in his favor, that Of the
old settlers OF the county who have known him
frOm childhood. He is a native of Newburgh,
and among his most earnest supporters were the
substantial Republicans of Newburgh, hide
pendence, Bedford, Warrensville, East Cleve-
land and Euclid, who have known him longest
and best. He is well qualified for the post, and
has the advantage OF experience as Deputy in
the Office. The nomination of Mr. WlsHTMAs
was made unanimous, and he deserves, and we
trust will receive, the unanimous support Of
the Republicans of the county.
The nomination of Mr. FULLER for Auditor,
Mr.. PAckARD for Recorder, and Mr.. RICHARDS
for Commissioner, should, and will be, equally
acceptable TO the Republicans and the People
They have been tried and not found wanting
Honest, industrious, and faithful to their trusts,
they will be reelected by triumphant majOri-
ties
The resolution authorizing the Central Com
mittee to fix the time for opening and closing
the Primary Meetings, and providing that they
shall be kept open at least an hour, was well
timed, and viii aid in securing a fair opPortu-
nifty, all occasions for full expression of the
voice of Republican electors. The Central Com
mittee is composed of sagaciOus, earnest and ae-
tive working men, who will do their part to en-
sure efficient organization and mAjorities to be
proud Of. 1t is the first and great political duty
of every Republican to cooperate cheerfully,
and by individual and associated efforts, to car
" forward and upward the glorious standard Of
FEEE SPEECB, FREE SOIL, and FREE LABOR.
