can Convention two weeks ago yesterday
Notwithstanding the busy season in which
the convention was called, harvest COM
mencing about ten days earlier than usual,
the farmers dropped their work and came
out en- masse and the convention was
large one Of representative Republicans.
They went there with the view Of making
instions--not to ratily nominations
made in advance-and they accomplished
Just what they set out TO do
There were many good and worthy
names presented to the convention for the
several positions TO lie filed, and the Sc
lectiOns from these were fairly ard hon
estly made, leaving no grounds for COM
plant of trckery or unfairncss. What
ever disappointments there may have been
all seemed TO accept, cheerfully, the will
OF the majority and make every nomina-
tion unanimous.
wM. 8. EDERLY,
The efficient and accommodating Clerk,
who is now serving in his first term in
that office, had no opposition, and on mo-
tion he was made the unanimous choice OF

Webster township, and spent his boyhood
days with his father on the farm. B>fJre

ton in the store OF Messrs. A. G. VII.
LIASfs & Bro, Of this place, which posi-
tion he filed with fidelity and trust and not

genial, whole souled gen leman, we'll fitted
for the position Tor which he has been nom.
mated. He was selected several years ago

sry farm and inmates OF that institution,
a very difficult and undesirable position
for both himself and his amiable wife 10
fill at that time, as the insane as we'll as
the pnupers were placed under their charge.
But 10th proved equal to the task and
we're found worthy and well qualified 10

order out of chaos in the preliminary work
OF building up that institution in Wood
county.
Mr.. REID has served az Deputy tor
Sheriff HENRY for about two years past,
in which position he has won hosts Of
friends through his uniform courtesy and
