ventlon.

| Ventl0n.

announcements the Democratic and Liber-

at Bowling Green, went through the usual
FORMS, and placed in nomination a county
ticket.
HENRY MoRsE prdsided over the delib-
erations of the Democratic Convention,
which comprised less than one hundred
persons all told.
There seemed TO be n disposition on Che
part of the chairman TO ignore the pres
ence or existence Of any Liberal Republi-
cans, and it was only when his attention
was called to the matter, that he mani
tested any idea Of recognizing them as any
part or parcel OF the Democratic machin-
cry. A committee was thereupon appoint
ed to confer with the Liberals, and agree
upon the apportionment of the offices. Aft
or some little search, the committee found
knot of some six or eight men sitting
under tree on one side of the grounds
who styled themselves the f" Liberal Re-
publican Convention"
These gallant worthless met pursuant to
call signed Many Republicans.
This was indeed the Liberal Republican
Convention" of Wood County, and all but
one or two had taken part, and were active
participants in the Republican Convention

This is the mess of crow dished up for
the Liberal Democratic Republican party
OF Wood County.
Hands were clasped across the bloody
chasm in brief speeches by II. II. DODGE,
OF this place, Democrat of the VALLAN-
DIGHAM school, and THOMAS J. AVERY, OF
Center Township, Lib-Rep. The former
stated that he supported GREELEY because
he represented the interests of the Demo-
cratic party-the latter that, he supported
the farmer OF Chappaqua, because he was
true Republican, and represented the Re-
publican principles, So we go. BARN
UM's happy family is nowhere.
The hybrid Convention melted away
aud dispersed without adjournment, with
three cheers for TON AVERY.
