it is I; little earlier than usual-were
that the County Courts in several conn
ties, opening soon after the middle of
june, would be likely to interfere with
the attendance of delegates if a later day
were taken, unless the convention were
postponed till the middle of July, which
il very busy and inconvenient time for
the farmers, who form so large portion
of our voters, to attend caucuses and con-
ventions. The middle of June will there
fore be the most convenient time for all
concerned. A statement of the number OF
delegates to which each town in the state
is entitled, will be furnished to the Press
and to the town committees in day or
two Free Press.
