The Democratic County Convention.-The
In another column we publish the
official proceedings of the Democratic
Nominating Convention held at Citi-
zens Hall, in this village, on Saturday
last. It was the largest and most en-
thusiastic nominating convention the
Democracy of Portage County have
held for many years, and, notWith-
standing there was considerable feel
ing exhibited in reference to the nom-
ination of the candidate for Repre-
sentative, and some little warmth and
bitterness manifested in the discussion
which arose upon the reports of the
majority and minority of the commit
tee on resolutions, yet we are pleased
to know that, when the Convention
had finished its labors, the best of feel
ing prevailed among the delegates,
and on all hands there was expressed
q fixed determination to go to work
vigorously and earnestly to secure the
triumph of the Democratic tickets,
both State and local. 4 i
