In spaaking OF the Judicial Convention and
The proceedings as published in the TRUE
NoRrHERsER. the Kalamazoo Telegraph con-
tains this sentence 1t the TRUE NORTH
ERNER) says in pursuance with the call made
by g. F. Read. the Republicans Of Van Buren,
appeared with eight delegates, which deleSa-
ton was refused admittance to said Conven-
ton -(the Telegraph says)-wHIcH STATEMENT
Is UNTRUE" The editor who concocted that
paragraph. when he penned the last clause
new that IL was a barefaced falsehood. He
tmew that the facts were Just as stated in
the True NoRIHERNER, and that the coloring
10 gave the matter was a deliberate - ut
tered for the purpose OF screening those who
uIsrspresented the sentiment Of the better
clas. OF the citizens OF kalamazoo,
IL the same column OF the Telegraph occurs
the statement to the effect that the Chair ruled
the motion to admit eight delegates from eacl
County out OF order that no motion OF tlit
tenor could he entertained until after an orgin-
cation OF the basis oil eight to kalamazoo and
OK 10 Van Buren,.
The Telegraph then goes on to say that = the
purposs VIZ to nominate Geo. ". LAYTON.
aad to taat end all their efforts we're shaped,
whica statement the Telegraph man knew to be
untrue at tue time he uttered it. The Kalama-
zoo delegates had been secured for the sole
aud only purpose Of nominating Dwight May
Tor Circuit Judge. Van Buren, County was OPP
posed 10 his nomination, which fact was well
known 70 Mr.. Nay and ms friends; hence the
ca! Wa made without consulting Van buren,
County at al, Il gave eight to kalamazoo, and
sx 60 Naa buren,, which rendered Van Buren,
powegleso il preventing the nomination Of
Gmc they did not want, as kalamaZoos eight.
who had been carefully secured for the purpose,
would decide the matter az once.
In this connection we will state for tho pur-
pose OF refreshing the memories OF those who
may have forgotten the fact, that for three
times haa Van Buren, County SAINT delegates to
~ many state Conventions, to assist IN putting
DwiSh, May In nomination, once FOX the Office
% Ljeu5enant-Governor, and twice for the
Office o. httorney- General, and thereafter gave
Llm good round msjorites. Van Buren, having
dealt literally BY Mr.. May, thinks it time for
u
chance for promotions but this he seems un-
willing to do. He persists in forcing himself
on TO the people for their unwilling SURFACES
Not thankful for the liberal treatment ne has
heretofore had, he now proposes to bring de.
feat on the party, rather than sec some one
else elected to position he claims for himself
Mr. May may have, and probably has, enter

for his personal purposes and uses, but ouI
OPINION is, that the people hereafter propose Il
have something TO say as to the bestowal o
che Offices, as they pay all the salaries-the
do not think it just the thing for a man to d
whom they have elected to a position who's
duties are to guard their Treasury from III
authorized depredations, for himself to dra
theregrom One Thousand Dollars a year, fo
which no Constitutional provision OF law e.
lists or ever existed, and this in addition to h
salary as fixed ana provided for by law. Th
practice pursued for period Of four years
official life, they think is quite sufficient for OF
nau.
