footed up but Ill votes, showing IL dele-
gates had not cast their ballots, nor were
they cast by other delegates, it became a
question whether Mr.. Binckley was not
nominated, he having received Sc votes
against 55 cast for all other candidates.
The chair ruled that majority of all the
votes of the County represented in the bal
lots for Representative and Clerk.
Before the End Ballot was counted
motion was made to allow the majority of
the votes cast to decide the nomination.
This motion gave way to Committee
consisting Of Judge Finck and Walter
George and some othe delegate to confer
with the Delegates of Thorn and induce
them to continue their connection with
the convention. The End Ballot resulted
in Buckley so. Moore %, Porter %, J. T.
Embry 2. At the end of this Ballot the
name Of James Porter was Withdrawn.
The Thorn Township Delegation by the
report of the Committee refusing to return
to their connection with the Convention,
a motion to allow the majority of the vote
cast to nominate was then put and carried
The 3rd. Ballot for Probate Judge re-
suited as follows:
Aaron BiHckley ......... ......... .... .......6S
Geo. W. Moore ...........4 40
The votes cast for j. T. Embry for Pro-
bate Judge are supposed to be the vote of
MADISON TIP. which preferred thus to cast
its votes to Withdrawing from the conyen-
tion as a compliment to Mr.. Embry and an
expression of resentment to those who had
Slaughtered Embry. Buckley was also
nominated for the short term created by
Lhs death Of Judge Kelley.
{ Samuel III. Pettet of Bearfeld TIP. and
Geo. Fluhart of Cole, and John s. Nixon
Of Giayto Up. were announced for County
Ire asurer.

The End Ballet for Treasurer was evil

the delusion that nomination conferred
distinction, if not hope of success at the
regular election and preserved its sharp
triangular contention for ..the empty honor
of campaign expenses without correspond
