The Democratic and Conservative
County nominating Convention con-
vened at tho Court House last Satur-
day, with Hon. P. G. Eastman per-
manent President and c, 4. Hogg
permanent Secretary, and Joseph H.
Holloway, Assistant Secretary. In
point Of numbers, responsibility and
intelligence, it was decidedly the
best and largest Convention ever as
scmbled in the county, if not in the
State. The ticket which their la
bors presented to the people is I'M
exceptionally good, and is bound to
win. The session was arduous, the
building crowded, the weather excee-
dinghy warm, yet, Notwithstanding
all that, harmony and good will
reigned supreme. We bespeak for
the ticket hearty and fervent sup
port, from all those who desire good
men to fill the respective offices for
which they were nominated.
