County Conventions,

This week we publish the calls
fortwo Republican County Conven
tions, ono to be held August Goth,
and the other September 18th.
While both are of importance to
citizens, the one held in, September,
when the county officers are to he
nominated, will undoubtedly create
the most interest. The coming
nominee for Representative to Con
gress seems to have been pretty
well settled on the part of the
newspapers, at least, in favor O
Hon. j. A. Hub5ell, the present in
emnbent, who has made an excel
lent record thus far. The nomina-
tions Of Senator and Representative
to the State Legislature, from the
District composed of Lake, Osceola
and Mecosta counties, ara yet com.
paratively free from suggestion and
discussion.
There seems to rs a lacking in
the call for the Convention to nom
mate county fficer., in not stating
the title of the Offices to be filled.
Az we understand it, men are to be
nominated to act in tho following
capacities: County Clerk, County
Treasurer, Sheriff, Prosecuting At
torney, Circuit Court Commissioners,
County Supt. of Schools and Sur
veyor. AS nearly two months will
yet elapse before the 18th of Sept,
ample time will be had to fully |
canvass the field and see who are
best qualified 10 fill the Offices of
trust andJlOnor. BE sure your men
are-men Of ABILITY as well as honor
and inteqrity. Honest ignorance,
often causes as much vcxatious de-
lay in the proper working of affairs,
as learned villainy. Put aside, in
a great measure personal feeling,
and selfish clinging to localities,
and calmly consider the matter.
View the whole ground carefully,
and let the men you nominate be
those whom every citizen can con-
endorse.
