r. u. Mcdonald, La Sale, was made chairman
and A. ii. Fuller, Strcator and William Jenkins,
Mendoza, secretaries of the temporary or%anlHa-
ton. The usual committee credentials was
appointed, who reported all towns excepting
Dimmitk, Farm Ridge, Rutland, wallace ana

authorized to cast the full vote of their towns;
the towns not sending delegates were represented
by stalwarts present from those towns, and Geo.

the town.
While the committee on credentials were at
work, VIM. jenkins said that Bailey, OF the
bureau county HCp"JHcaH, was present ana
would like TO address the convention on the sub
icct OF Il judicial district convention. He was
Given permission.
Mr. Bailey said he was chairman Of the rcpub-
lean central committee Of that county, where
they had called republicans convention To select
delegates to q district republican convention, and
he was here to bring the matter before this
county SO that they could call such convention
if they thought proper. He thought this the
proper thing to do 50 that the people" could
LAY whom they preferred. Heretofore when
there was but one Judge, they considered the
matter Of little momentand that il was unadylSa'
bic to hold convention; now however, when
there are three judges with the possibility Of
four, they have changed their minds. Bureau
county, he said, and here is the marrow Of the
business, has never yet had the privilege of
having Judge, and that county has thought
proper 10 present her claims This district.
If you call Il convention" he said, eve are
with you" The question is shall it be Il scrub
race or shall 'thc people" select the candidates?
