The county convention held on Friday
at Irasburgh was quiet affair compared
with some meetings of the kind We have
attended, but it did it's work discreetly
and to the general satisfaction Of those
present. We have no doubt the county
will approve the work of the day. There
was some disappointment on the part of
few, and the manifestation of mali
cious spirit in opposition to some candi-
dates, which was not called for. The Of
ficers were pretty well distributed in the
county, but the northwest corner lost Il
man for judge by having two candidates
from one town. The senator's are both
men of superior qualities and the county
will be ably represented. The judges
are both deacons and whoever presides

ences. The retention of Judge Button
was wise measure and the choice OF
Deacon Oliver a very satisfactory one.
