"tcrrltied" present to participate, aud
make it a mass convention. They did So
and swelled the number of theconvention
TO 18-six of them members Of the Hunt
family In the Brownsville vicinity, and
the rest of other families.
! On motion of A. u. Brown, G. c. Clark
aud Dan. Williams were appointed tellers.
| Gaskill nominated G.. w. Buck Of Dex-
ter for Treasurer. Mcknight wanted
to know ifBuck would canvass the county.
Gaskill didn't kno ", but he had "bar'l"
for expenses. The chairman wanted to
know if they would have IN informal
ballot-if there was no opposition to the
"bar'" they might as we'll acclamate, and
they all acclamated.
Mcknight thought W. K. Porter would
be good man for Clerk Of District Court,
and would make a canvass and beat Roy,
Ring Republican candidate, easily.
Ticknor says next in order is County
superintendent, and Mcknight withdrew
Porter for the present, and mentions
Bigelow for Superintendent.
Ticknor thought Patch would be better
for Clerk-he was an old resident and
trying hard to prosper-and LeRoy's
school principal would work in better for
Superintendent, so Mcknight recon-
mended Prof. Hall as a simon.p pure
Greenbacker-la,eIy imported from the
state Of Malne-a gentleman and scholar,
and member of the bar in the U. s.
Supreme Court.
Capt Hunt didn't want Hall for Super
intendent, because he couldn't canvass.
People wanted TO look on the faces Of
Observation-Disclosures was in Strengthened
circum stances and could not canvass.
Ticknor moved to take an informal
ballot. Carried. 9icknor suggested that
each 'mass" give his full name as he
deposited his ballot, so as to make up a
list Of the mass convention. They did
80. and here they are:
Red Rookie. w. Sachsie.
Brownsdale-A. D. Brown. Al Hunt, H.
Hunt, ThOs. Hunt.

Nate Johnson.
Austin-F. a. Ticknor.
LeRoy-J. Mcknight.
Nevada-J. n. Tisdel, A. G. Bisbee
Dexter-L. n. Gaskill, Dan. Williams.
The ballot resulted, Bigelow 5, Hall II
and Hall was declared elected.
Capt. Hunt nominated J. n. Patch for
Clerk. 1t was seconded. There was no
opposition, so Hunt spoke III favor of the
nomination. Still no opposition, and it
carried.
Ticknor nominated Capt. Hunt for
Court Commissioner. Hunt didn't think
he would take the Office even if he could
get it-meaning we suppose be would not
take even Republican nomination for
that Office.
Ticknor then nominated Greenman,
and as there was no opposition, Nc.
knight made speech, and at the close
wanted to know if Greenman was Green
back. Ticknor said he swore fealiy to
that party last year, but he was running
for Office then, and he did not know
where he is now. Capt. Hunt thought
him in the main Greenback, with few
little wrinkles Of his own. They decided
to make him Greenback this year also.
Capt. Hunt mourned that we had no
County Commissioner from this vicinity,
and A. D. Brown nominated J. b. Graves.
Ticknor had interviewed Sleeper 4 Son
and been informed Graves would rum
Nobody inquired whether he belonged to
the party. Carried.
