Convention.

At a meeting OF the conservative foin-

convention Be called for the purpose OF
selecting delegates to Congressional
District Convention. to be held at II rrl-
sopburg, for the purpose of nominating a
candidate for Congress. We have also
learned through private st u ccs that sev-
eral other counties in the district are
about to take similar action. If con-
veation is necessary at this tia.e, the
county Superintenaents Of tns onserva
tive organization should at once proceed
to notify the citizens of their respective
counties Of the proposition, and take such
other necessary steps to secure a general
attendance at a county convention for the
purpose of nominating their delegates to

pointing county delegates, we would sag7
