publican County Convention, of jeff
erson, took place last Saturday at Mad
ison. Mr.. NJ. c. CARRIER. editor of the
Courier, was nominated for Treasurer.
This was an unsolicited nomination,
but more deserved than any jefferson
county ever made. Mr.. CARRIER has
done more to preserve the identity aud
hold up the general industrial charac-
Ter of Jefferson among her sister coun-
ties of the state. than any score of men
in il. He has always stood by the la
boring and indu trial classes. as against
capital: and should and will receive at
their hands in October the right kind
of treatment.
Hon D. G. Branham, and J. G. Will
son were nominated for Representa-
tiyes both excellent men. "Abe"
Rodgers is the nominee for Sheriff,
and better man for the office could
not have been nominated.
The ticket is a strong one, and will
be triumphantly elected in October.

A worthy Project.

A call has been issued by the several
Superintendents Of the Sabbath Schools.
in the city of Grand Rapids, for county
convention, embracing all the Sabbath
Schools in the county, to take place in
that city, on the 22d inst, for the pur-
pose of forming Kent County Sabbath
School Association, for the moro effectual
advancement of the interests and efficien-
cy of Sabbath Schools in that county.
This enterprise is worthy OF all COM
mendation and imitation. Would not
such a move have very salutary infu-
ence on the prosperity Of the Sabbath
Schools within the limits of Ottawa? We
have three interesting and well attended
schools within the limits of our village,
one at Mill Point, two at Lamont, and We
presume ono at Eastmanville, together
with two or more in the township of
Wright, ono at Holland, and another at
iceland, embracing in each large NUM-
Der of children and youth, and doubtless
others in various portions of the county
TO us unknown. Now should all these
schools unite with zeal and heart in the
enterprise, we might organize county
association that would be promotive Of
much good to the interests of our Sab.
bath Schools, and increase greatly theil
efficiency in training the youth of oul
county to walk in wisdom's ways.
We have county educational associa
ton that is doing good work in the pro
motion of the great and noble purpose:
for which it was formed. And now le
us have an association of the Sabbath
Schools in our county, that learning anC
true virtue may join hands in the accom-
plishmcnt of the good work allotted them
and for the promotion of which they ar
so necessary TO each other, to wit: tn
creation and perfection of true manhooo
and wonanhood.

A letter was, however, read from him,
declining the nomination, aud recommend
ing that the ticket of last year be again
placed before tho people. But the con.
yention were determined TO command his
services, since they were too valuable tc
the democracy of the State 10 be lost al
this time, and he was accordingly nomi-
mated by reclamation, no attention being
paid to his letter. The enthusiasm is dc.
scribed as Of the widest character and q
resolution was unanimously passed to in
sist upon the nomination. The ticket was
completed by the nomination Of strong
men for subordinate positions,
If we may Judge by the manner ii
which the democracy enter into the cam
paign this year, We shall hear favorable
report from them in April. The MAORI
