to be held at Indianapolis on Wednes

lead issues of the past have nothing to do
with the living present, and that they are no
questions which ought to divide the peoplaat
This time, either locally or nationally: and,
;pensev,ng 'hst ooth OF the old political organ

From the proceedings of the meeting at
this place. which were published in our last
issue, it will be seen that arrangements
were made that will secure representation.
from this county in the 10th of June con-
yention. Quite a large and respectable.
number of our citizens, including men,
of influence in both political parties, ia
vor the move, and should that convention
place good men in nomination it will re-
ceive respectable support. If we can judge
anything from the signs of the times, party
lines are hardly broken down, and political
parties, sadly demoralized, and we should
not be surprised to see the new movement
sweep everything before it.

Delegates were appointed to attend the
10th Of June convention at indianapolis. It
was decided to appoint one delegate and one
alternate from each township. About half
the townships were supplied, when it seemed
that no one could be found to attend on
behalf Of the remaining townships, but
finally full delegation was secured except
for one township. 1t is not known yet what
action the state convention will take,
