There were no delegates present
from Bloom, Boggs, Ferguson, Goshen,
Huston, Karthaus, Lumber City or
Osceola Whether elections were held
in those districts we arc not informed.
The convention being fully organized,
Mr.. Breth, OF Bell, moved that our
primary election be held hereafter on
the Saturday previous to September
Court.
Mr.. Miller, Of Chest, moved to amend
by making it the second Saturday in
August, and Mr.. Luther, of Brady,
aud Mr.. McKiernan, of Gulich, also
offered amendments, but we failed to
hear the time they fixed. AT this
point the chair stated that but one OF
the amendments had been seconded.
Mr.. Tucker, of Clearfeld, then arose
and offered the following resolution,
which was seconded by quito a number
Resoirsd, That Rule 4th and 18th of our party
code be so amended as to read "That the time
for holding the Democratic County Convention to
make county nominations be the third Tuesday Of
September in each year, at the Court House in
Clearfeld, at O'Clock p. IN and that the primary
election for the election of delegates to said con
yenton, be held the Saturday preceding said
Tuesday, at the several election houses in the
county, between the hours of | o'clock and
O'Clock p. M"
AT the conclusion Of the reading OF
tho resolution, the original motion OF
Mr. Brcth and all the amendments Of
fered were withdrawn, and the resolu-
tion was adopted without dissenting
voice. On motion tho convention ad-
journed.
This was one Of the most harmoni-
GUS conventions we ever witnessed,
and the delegates, it will be observed,
are all intelligent, representative men
from their respective localities, and
are a credit to any county or party.
