The Republican County Convention, for the
purpose Of selecting delegates to the State and
Judicial Convention, was held pursuant to a
previous call, at Cornvers Hall, in the village
OF Lawrence, on the 10th inst. The Conyen-
ton was called 10 order by Aaron Van Auken
chairman OF the county committee, who called
upon Il. I. Heckert, Esq, to preside as tempo
rary chairman, and o. N. Hilton was chosen
temporary secretary. The chairman appointed
Charles Duncombe, Charles Delamere, Geo. w.
Lawton and Emory Simpson, a committee on
credentials, and also a committee on perma-
nent organization and order Of business, com
posed Of the following gentlemen: A. II. CHAN
der, r. L. Warren, Mitchell Hogmire Gilbert
Mitchell and Henry S. Williams. The conven-
then took a recess until pm.
Upon the re-asse mbling OF the convention in
the afternoon the committee on credentials re-
ported full delegations from the several town
ships Of the county, creeping Covert and Pine
Grove, which were without representation, and
the township OF Waverly, which was represent
ed by George E. Brock, alone. The committee
on permanent organization and order Of bust
ness, submitted the following report LIST. that
the temporary officers be retained the perma-
nent officers Of the convention. I'd, that the
convention elect 16 delegates to the judicial
Convention. Sd, that there be IA delegates
chosen TO represent the County in the State
Convention.
The adoption OF tho report OF the committee
on permanent organization callsd forth quite 4
spirited discussion upon motion to amend the
report made by Hon. Geo. w. Lawton, by sub.
slituting II delegates instead Of 16 to the Ju.
diclal Convention. Mr.. Lawton claiming thai
az that convention had not yet been called, ant
as We did not know how many delegates thu,

OF Kalamazoo, to do nothing that would appeal

resentation with them, and consequently oul
chances OF obtaining an equal representation
with that county in the judicial Convention
wo1ld be far better by electing but Ia delegates
to that convention, and that If Kalamazoo
should eecs 16, and we were admitted on equal

representation, two more could be added on
the day OF the convention. While on the other
hand, it was maintained by Messrs. Warren,
Noyes and Van Auken, that 1t was pretty well
understood that Kalamazoo county would elect
l6 delegates to the Judicial Convention, and
that it would be highly proper for this county
to elect the same number il we expected to be
allowed an equal representation with kalama-
zoo in that convention. II would be easier to
subtract two, than add them on the day OF the
convention, II the number was too great. The
motion to amend was lost and the report OF
the committee adopted.
The following is list OF delegates to the Jul
dclal Convention :-R. L. Warren, Decatur
Chas Duncombe, Keller Chas. Delamere,
South Haven; b. F. Heckert, Paw Paw; NJ.

The following gentlemen were then selected
delegates to the State Convention IS. W. Dun

During the election o, delegates to the State
Convention, it was ascertained that one OF the
townships had filed It's delegation by substi-
tutlng the names Of persons living in another
town, in the place OF those OF the delegates
from that town who were absent. This was
very properly objected to by Mr.. Lawton,
whereupon the convention proceeded to re-
consider the report OF the committee on Gre
dentias, and struck off from the report all
names of persons who were acting as delegates
from another town than that in which they re
sided. 1t would be a dangerous precedent to
establish in our conventions, to allow town
ship to fill its delegation by substituting per-
sons living outside the township, or to allow a
single delegate to cast the full vote OF the
town. 1t has always been a principle OF the
Republican party that the majority shall rule,
and although we have our personal preferences
and petty family quarrels in caucus and con-
venton, these, when the nominations are made,
are all laid aside for the success Of the party.
The following resolution WAS almost unani-
mously adopted by the convention:
Resoloed, BY the delegates OF the several
townships OF Van Buren, County, In Republl-
can Convention assembled, that the bill now
pending in the State Legislature proposing a
change in It's Judicial Circuit is not desirable
to the business interests OF this county and
ought not to be passed, and
Resolued, Further, that copy OF these Reso-
lutions be forwarded to each member CT the
Legislature representing Van Buren, County
therein, by the Secretary Of this Convention,
with the request that each use his influence for
the defeat OF the bill.

oFFIcE SEEKING.


To the Editor Of THE, 1ter, nlIcAS;
Judging from the tone of some of our
most widely circulated journals, the question at
the head Of this article should be answered In the
affirmative. The Examiner and Chronicle. a re-
ligious newspaper published in New York, is out
In its issue OF oday July 2S) in an article under
the caption Of "a Long Gone Day" in which we
find the following: Let us hope that the bullet
