was the chosen nominee by q majority
81 votes.
For District Attorney L. II. Barber WI
nominated by acclamatiou. After his nom
nation E. H. Rauch created "A diversion b
, calling on Mr.. Esser to form himself into
committee of thirteen for the purpose
, executing writ of Habeas Corpus on NJ
! Barber aud producing his body in the Coz
,; yention. During MIR. Essers absenc
Francis Markl was nominated by acclam
, ton for the Office of Cnuntv Surveyo
Thercupon. entered to the Convention NJ
Esser with the body OF Mr.. Barber wi
brought his tongue and his brains aloI
with him and made rattling democrat
y speech which was short, sharp and decisiv
bringing down, at its conclusion, lol
pnudlts from the assembled philosopher
led by Sheriff Leutz.
Upon the resolution of Mr.. Rauch il W
V decided that Vigilance Committee of n
less than five members be appointed in ea'
= district to see that every Dem ocrat sha
. record his vote.
If the meeting had been composed
. archangels the proceedings, without dege
> Grating into monotrn,, could not have w
u been more harmonious. There was not
single hitch. The records Of Mr.. Meendse
. Mr.. Barber and Mr.. Markl require no col
e ment, except the hope that every Conn
a Convention may produce as worthy a,
- popular democrats as have been found
Carbon, and tnat their work may bs d
complIshed with equal precision and th'
0ughness.
