A GENUINE ANTI-PAGE MEETING.
the Rushfortl Convention.
On Friday last, the county convention
tor the election Of six delegates to the
Republican Judicial convention was held
in the village of Brownsville, in this
county.
In some respects this was the most i'm
portant Republican convention ever con.
vencd in this county. 1t was the voice
Of the Republican party speaking, in a
manner which could not be mistaken, of
q man whom 1t advocated and supported
seven years ago for an honored Office,
that Of Judge of this judicial district.
During the past two years this mans
official conduct has been Investigated, he
being indicted on several counts by the
House Of Representatives, and, on the
trial, voted guilty by majority of the
Senators. This convention Of Mower coun-
ty Republicans was unanimous-not one
dissenting voice-in condemning Sher-
man Page, the present Judge Of this dis
trict, for what-it is not necessary to re.
pcat-his course is familiar to every resi-
dent in the county. The Republicans of
Mower county have repudiated him..
They could not we'll have done otherwise.
He has disgraced the party, himself, and
the position which he holds. The con.
vention was important, in that it reflected
the sentiments of Sherman Pages own
people as to their opinion Of him.
