Canoe Creek-No delegates were Sc
| lected
Bowling William Miller, John Bremen
and William Drury,
Drury and Canoe Creek were the only
townships IN the county that sent no del
| egates.
A move was made, after the committee
on credentials had reported, that COM
mittee OF seven be selected to appoint the
delegates to the state and to the district
convention. A motion followed this that
three committees be appointed. A great
deal of windy words were INDUCED in.
Then it was substituted that five delegates
from Rock Island, four from Moline and
one from each township be appointed on
the committee. After these motions. a
great deal more palaver was INDUCED in.
Finally the appointment of delegates was
voted to the township, that is each town
ship should select its delegates to act on
the committee, whose duty it was to Sc
lect delegates to the conventions After
this motion had passed each township
handed TO the secretary the name of the
delegate selected toaact on the committee
A Mr. Wells Offered a resolution favoring
John 4. Logan for president. Oslesby for
governor and W. II. Gest for congress.
An amendment was offered to strike out
the name of governor and president Both
the motion and the amendment failed to
get before the house for the want of a
second
The chairman then read the names of
the delegates that had been selected to
act on the committee which was to ap-
point the delegates to the convention
The delegates thus selected at once
retired to the supervisors room for con-
sultation.
After being out q long while, the com
mit'ce returned and reported that they
had selected the following list of dele
gates:
