the Democratic party at all times; will cer-
tainly go to the State Convention.
NJ. II. Lowden would attend all Conventions
and labor for the interests of the Democratic
party.
Griflin's business was such that he could not
afford the time necessary to attend the State

District Conventions.
DR.. Montague didn't think he could attend
in person, being the only physician here at
present and his services liable to be required

McMuTy, Chairman, asked for an oxpres-
sion of opinion as to whether one or three SUI
pervisors were to be chosen at tho ensuing
election under the New Constitution.
W. s. Lowden favored nominations by each
Of the three Districts so as to have candidates
ready In case they were needed.
John g. Irwin offered his opinion, without
careful study, that the Board would hold as
before, only one going out at this time unless
the Legislature made other provisions. 1t is
not Constitutional Office, the same business
having been transacted in this county by the
Court of Sessions and transferred to Supervis-
ors without Constitutional amendment. If
necessary to elect there will be time enough
when that fact is made certain. OF course
there is one to elect in the first District in any
event. Advised the Convention to take no
action.
Mr.. Tinnin's opinion being asked, he held
that the Supervisor law was one which would
require Legislative action to continue II In
force the intention of the Now Constitution
was to make general cleaning out of all of
icials and now start suggested that nomi-
nations be made aud held in abeyance until
the question was determined.
McMurry thought but ono nomination me-
cessary at this time-that in the first District.
NJ. II. Lowdon claimed that the County
Convention had nothing to do in the matter
and moved an adjournment.
John Bergin suggested that the Central
Committee select candidates for Supervisors
John W. Reed was in favor of doing moth
ing in the matter at present
Question being put on motion to adjourn II
was carried and at 3:45 p. NJ, the Convention
was declared adjourned sine die.
