mocracy OF Marshall and Wetzel coun-
ties in the recommendation.
Tbereupon A. W, Knots suggested
the I'd Thursday of June as the time,
and Warrington as the place for hold
ing said Convention ; and argued in
favor of Warrington that all trains
stop there, and on that account is more
convenient for delegates from the other
counties to arrive and depart than the
town of Burton. The meeting adopted
the suggestion and directed the dele
gates appointed by this meeting to
represent the Democracy OF the county
in said Convention.
The present Executive Committee OF
the county were requested to continue
in the performance of their duties and
to fix a basis of representation for coun-
ty organization in ratio-one delegate
for every twenty-five votes cast at the
last October election.
The meeting recommended the second
Saturday in June for tow nship meetings

the appointment of delegates to a
Countv Convention 70 be held at the
Court House in Fairmont, on the 18th
day of June, for the nomination of
county officers and other purposes.
