While the Committee was out, Mr..
BLoosEx was called upon for speech, and
responded in his usual happy manner. He
said the nomination was entirely unsought,
but believing, as he did, that the Republic
cans should have full ticket, he accepted
the nomination, and asked the people for
their votes. lie believed the duties of
County Judge could be honestly discharged.
He did not claim to be the man who would
thus discharge them, but would have the
people choose, and he would urge upon Re-
publicans the support Of their own ticket
for all the candidates.
On motion, meeting was appointed for
Wednesday evening, October 9th, for the
purpose of nominating Township Officers.
The Convention adjourned.
