The Republican Convention

Pursuant to the call of the Republl-
ian Central Committee, the delegates
from the various townships in the
county, together with large number
of prominent Republicans met at Bel
mont, on Saturday, to hold their nom-
mating Convention.
Every township in the county was
represented by its full original quota Of
delegates, with the exception of York
and Flushing which we're represented
by two delegates each. Before the
Convention assem- bled, candidates and
their friends were busy buttOn-holing
delegates upon their arrival, picturing
the special fitness and availability of
some one who was willing to be sacri-
feed upon the altar of some good fat
office. During the preliminary skirm-
ishes, for the most part good humor
prevailed, and it was feared by some
of the curious 'unterrified' that were in
attendance, expecting to see sharp
brush, that the proceedings would be
characterized by such decorum, as to
give no room for the qualification OF
their desires.
A little after ten o'clock the Morris
town Band, which had been procured
by Capt. John S. Hamilton, took their
position in front of Odd Fellows Hall
and broke forth in an enlivening strain
of good music; this was the signal for
the assemblage present to gather in the
Hall, which they did, filling it to over
flowing.
AT 1890 o'clock, Maj. w. s. Kennon
Chairman of the County Executive
Committee, called the Convention to
order, and on motion Hon. Lorenzo
Danford was made permanent chair
man; he not being in the Hall, w. A,
Hunt and J. F. Anderson were ap
pointed a committee to notify him o.
his election, and escort him to his posi-
tion in the Convention. Upon his ar

Important to those Using Old style
Wheeler & Wilson Sewing
Machines.

We are now prepared to put all the latest
improvements on old style Wheeler G wilson
sewing machines, at but trifling cost. With
these improvements an old machine would
work as well as new one of the latest style
and we would guarantee it just as long as a
new machine The principle of the new ma
chine is the same as the old, but changes have
been made which increase its efficiency, while
at the same time less care and skill are requir-
ed in its management. Seams are crossed
with ease The work guided with scarcely an
effort. Nearly double its former power. No
under tension to manage. Every joint can be
frightened as fast as it wears.
