AGREED TO BY ALL THE IRISH MEMBERS
Dodgeville chronicle. [volume] (Dodgeville, Wis.) 1862-current, 1870-08-19

~ We take the last opportunity to
remind the voters of the several towns
that the county convention will meet in
the village of Dodgeville, on next Friday,
the a6th, and that each town will be emit.
tied to representation in the convention
according to their number of voters.
1t is expected that the towns will hold
their primary meetings and send all the
delegates they are entitled to, which can
be ascertained by reference to the call for
the convention found in the first column
of the second page of this paper. The OBJ
ject of this county convention is to elect
delegates to attend the Congressional con-
vention which meets at Spring Green, on
the LIST of September.
There will necessarily have to be an
| other county convention held sometime in
September or October, for the pul pose of
nominating county officers. It will be
important toward perfeeting the organiza-
ton of the towns, that they send full dele
tions to the present convention.

E- The Mineral Point Democrat of last
week contains the following paragraph in
regard to the present Congressional cam
raign:
1.-THE republicans Of this district seem
to be in hot water. The republican press
of the district have pursued very honor
able and praiseworthy course, except the
Tribune and Witness, who have exhausted
all their feeble powers in abusing Hazel
ton of BoscobeI. The Tribune says only
three papers support Hazelton. Well,
how many support Warden or Wilkinson
or Barber! Hardly three, we think
Now the Fitness and the Tribune would
have been wise in following the advice Of
the CM0nicle-not to throw too much dirt
at man who may be the candidate there
by forcing them to swallow their words or
bolt the candidate. Although we are not
in love with Hazelton. we can't see what
he has done to merit such unmitigated
abuse as he is receiving from these two
papers. With the Tribune the case i,
probably personal malice ; with the Wit.
ness, spite"
