The committee on credentials retired.
It seems there were several contested
seats, and the committee were an hour
and a half or two hours in making up
their report
Much impatience was manifested at
various times at what appeared to he
the delay of the committee, and Judge
Young, of Pike, was, on motion, ap-
pointed to wait upon the committee,
and instruct It to bring in a repGr IT.
He soon returned with message from
the committee 20 the effect that 1t was
performing It's duties with all possible
speed, and would report at It's earliest
convenience, and n the convention
was not satisfied with its action 1t had
better discharge the committee and ap-
point another. ThIscausedso some cheer
ing and quieted the impotence, and
the convention awaited the report
with considerable calmness.
While further awaiting the report
n. J. frey was requested 20 make
some statements in regard to the Fair.
He complied with the request, and re-
peated the language used by him in
last weeks NEWS. We trust the farm
ers everywhere In the county needed
his advice.
The Committee ON Credentials ap-
peared In the hall with their report,

plantations in regard to the seat claimed

resolution, which was adopted:

| ntertain the name of no candidate for
uomlnatiOn To county office who has

Mr.. White moved to proceed to the
nomination of candidates, and that the
vote be taken by townships, some one
of each township delegation announc-
Ing the result a. the names OF the
townships were called by the Secretary
Mr.. GreneiI wanted an informal
ballot.
Mr.. Hunter claimed that the quickest
and most satisfactory way would be
for each delegate, as his name was
called, to rise and vote rteG coco for the
person OF his choice for the various
offices.
After much discussion, and with
drawing of motions, etc., it was clear
that the convention wanted an inform
al ballot, and this plan was adopted.
WI. Brewer was appointed Assist
ant Secretary.
! J. NJ. Hunter and w. Grenell were
appointed tellers, wherenpon the con-
vention proceeded to an informal bal

The roll was called, and each dele

name was called.
The result Of the informal ballot was
: as follows:
James Miles. s; S. N. Wheeler, G; G.

This was found rather tedious, and

roll of townships and announce the
number OF votes each were entitled to
/ and that some one from each township

g John Bay by reclamation. Objection
sy was made unless the rule was sus
