resolution instrUcting the nominees of this

resolution was adopted. After arranging
fer the appointment of q county committee,
the convention adjourned.
There was good order generally during
the session. The nominations are general

county auditor, is gentlemauly and obligipg

Judge Brown, the nominee in this district
for the assembly, is qualified for a much
higher place than the one for which he is
named. The judge was not candidate and
the Office was virtually rendered him. He
will accept, make warm canvass and will
