THE first gun. Freedom county elect
ed six delegates last Saturday to attend
the Republican state convention. The
county seems to be strongly in favor of
the e-e1ection of Gen. Hubbard for Gov
ernor, and Of Charles Kittelson for Secre-
tary of State, as the following resolution,
unanimously adopted by the convention,
will show:
Resolued, That remembering with pride
the military record of Gen. Hubbard, and
his no less efficient and distinguished ad-
ministratlon as Governor of Minnesota,
and holding in high regard his pure and
upright character as citizen; and having
full faith in the integrity, ability, and
honesty of Mr.. Charles Kittels0n, who
has been resident of Freeborn county
for period of twenty five years, we hear
tily recommend and instruct the delegates
of this convention to vote for both of
these gentlemen, and use all honorable
means in their power for their nomina-
ton at the State Convention appointed to
be held at st. Paul, June %, 1883.
As Charley Kittelson's home is in Free
born county, this action must be espec-
tally gratifying to him. He has made a
faithful and efficient officer, and we hope
he may be successful in his efforts for q
reelection. Sa{ tsg.EtE..&S =
