perfected, the object of the meeting
was stated by Chairman Lockwood,
when the committee at once addressed
itself to the business in hand. There
was q great deal of discussion with
reference to the best course to pursue
regarding convention matters. The
opinion was almost universal, no W.
ever, that the County Convention
ought not be called before
the latter part Of September.
This naturally brought up the question
Convention should be chosen. Con.
SidnrinD tho owfrarnn dull tinroo in
connection with tho strong probability
that twelve men could not readily be
found. whether elected by a conven
ton or appointed by the committee,
who would care to incur the expense
of q trip tn Virginia City, 1t was finally
decided, almost unanimously, that the
State delegation should be appointed
by the committee. Hitherto the ex-
perience has been that u Of a dele
cation OF ten or twelve not more than
half the number have gone. It was
also argued that any person DESTROYS
Of going who might be overlooked by
the committee, could easily obtain u
proxy. To avoid the expense of an
extra convention, and at the same time
answer every practical purpose, 1t was
agreed unanimously to select the
following named gentlemen as
delegates to the State Conventions:
For Eureka, A. Nj. Hillhouse, c. J.
lansing, Hon. j. X. Shafer, Hon. NJ.
b. Bartlett, John Ii. Dennis, Richard

Ruby Hill proper, ID. j. J.. McLaugh-
lin; for the Richmond side, b. +. Mar
shall; for Palisade, Maurice Walsh;
for Pleasant Valley and McGeary,
Peter Hansen; for Pinto and Secret
Canyon, Judge Doherty. This bust
ness having been disposed of, the next
thing In order was the calling of the
County Convention for the nomination
of county officers. September 10th was
fixed upon as the date OF the primaries
throughout the county, and September
18th for the holding of the convention
