urge noc4 OF pigeons was observed almost
within gun shot Of the train, and moving in
precisely the same direction. The train
vas going at about the rate of thirty miles
Per hour. and for twelve or fifteen minutes,
pigeons and locomotive seemed to be exact
y m4tched, each maintaining their rela-
tive position-until as the train naarcd
Shelby. the brakes were put down, and the
pigeons shot ahead leaving the featherless
biPcds behind. The pigeons had the ad-
vintage in not having to stop at each sta
ton, and in not being obliged to wood and
water so often As you can imagine. the
race excited great interest with the passen-
gers.

Th~e:eonvention then proceeded to vote
for delegates. when the following named
gentlemen were duly elected: I
D. 4. Cartier. Thomas Spooner, C. Brod-
beck and Y. B. Horton. =
The ~alternates selected were Jacob Muel-
Ter, Abner kellogg, DR.. Saml N. Smith
and Edward B. Taylor.
The resolution submitted by the com
mittce was then taken up, when it read as :
follows
Resozred, That while the Republicans of
Ohio will give their united and earnest sup '
port to the nominee of the Chicago Conven- I
ton, they would indicate as their first 4
choice, and recommend to said convention,
the name of Salmon P. Chase, of Ohio {
The vote was about to be put on this +
resolution. when Mr.. Kyle, of Miami, de- 0
manded that the vote be taken by counties, /
which, after some discussion, was agreed to. r
The vote was then called by counties.
and resulted as follows-Yeas 2S3. Nays
90.
Or,thc declaration of this vote the House
rang with prolonged cheers for S. z. Chase
and the Republican cause. 7
A resolution was then adopted, thank O
ing the officers of the meeting for their ser
vicez.
1t was then resolved that the election Of a
al the delegates be declared unanimous, +
when h
The convention adjourned sine die. {
The action of the convention was spiri- h
ted. every member seeming animated with f
a spirit which augurs well for the coming o
campaign. Since 1910, VIC have never O
seen any party so fully reused to action, and O
50 certain Of success, as are the Republic {
cans now.
Of the eight delegates to the State Con- t
~venti0n, chosen from our county, each one s
of whom, personally, or by a friend, was t
pledged.to attend, three only found their b
way to,e Columbus, viz. josiah Robbins, y
Esq, Of Niles; ]. L. Pearce, Esq. of Hart
ford, and ourself. 1t was not a matter of
very great consequence, SO far as voting at
the convention was concerned, as the mem
-bers of the Legislature from this county at
Columbus. would have seen to it that the c
eounty46as represented IN Convention, and 1
moreover any one of the delegates who +
Iaight be present, was authorized by a res :
olutiOn passed by the State Convention to !
cast the whole number of votes which the n
county was entitled to; nevertheless it s
strikes us that if men are not willing to ?
expend the time and money which a trip :
of this kiKdcosts, they ought not to accept i
the position. e
In the e7ening the Ashtabula and Trum- L
hill delegates, accompanied by the mcm- =
hers Of the Senate and House from those !
counties, with some others, called upon Gov. u
Chase, and wore cordially and Hospitality Il
received. Coy. Chase can shine as bright t
IL in the interchange Of the common oour-
teses of life. and in dispensing the liberal .
hosn;taliies of his own house, as in the "
chair Of State, or the Senate chamber Ofthe "
nation, which is saying all that can be q q
said. S
