Mr.. butcher then arose and presented the
clams of Ottawa county, stating that Otawn 4
county came to this Convention IN good faith, |
with the understanding that Wood connty would
accord TO Ottawa county her own choice OF onn- |
didutes, aud in pursuance Of such understand |
ing Ottawa county decided by u largo majority !
that her choice was MIR. Sloan, and that II was
nothing more than Just and tight that this priv |
ilege be accorded tn her. Had her Convention
thought differently, she would hardly have
gone to the trouble size did in her County Con-
vcntiou to determine her choice. To-day, her
ten delegates were sent here to carry out instruo
uuns in favor Of Mr.. Sloan, But one, Mr.. llar-
mon, has seen proper to bolt, and favor Mr.. kol-
ley, who Is not the choice Of Ottawa county, and
cannot support him. AS Ottawa county has
fairly settled the question as to her chHice, we
hone Wood county will c,ncede to us thnt choice
or else take u man from Wood county, and n"t
! nominate man Ottawa county under the cir
| oumstanoes cannot support. Ijiu .!'>
i q, w. Evers said he had been iulcTmod that
rnur years ugo Mr.. Sloan wasa delegate to the
! Convention when Mr.. Norris aud Capt, Curry

nominate for Wood county, but to affirm her
chOicn." that the coutest between the wocandi-
dates, Norris and Curry, was close, being about
two votes N NUiris' favor, but Os Curry was u
, soldier, Ottawa county voted for HIM For this
reason we do not propose to vote for Mr. sloan.
Mr.. Norris said that II was true ho was a cam
!
, Soln defeated him, aud now they would try
aud make it even MIR. Norris said he had II
) % more votes than Capt Curry, proceedings
Of the Convention show differently, when Oua-
! wa county cast her vote for Capt Curry, which
: was not in accordance with the statement OF Mr..
l. sloan, who was Chairman Of the Convention,
aud acted MS spokesman, and, MS | atm told,
controlled the entire delegation of his county,
; Now wo propose to nominate a candidate to suit
; ourselves, sl
Mr.. A. W. Luckey said ho liked to SOC fair
play and honesty that hS WAS ono of the dele
. gates TO that Convention that voted against Mr..
d Norris Messrs. Jenney, Dutchcr, Warrncr and
y baltimore, were the others, That il there Ia
y any blame about that vnte, don't put II on Judg,
Il Sloan, who was in the Chair, aud nut with III

that vote. MIR. Sloan has been fairly elected b,
his county, aud ought t0 be Nominated.
y MIR. Asher Cook in substance said, he wa!
