After the nominations were over the
chairman. Mr.. Curtis. thanked the dele
gates for the gentelmanly manner in which
they had conducted the convention, ana
the delegates returned the compliment to
him. He suggested three cheers for the
ticket which was given heartily, and the
convention adjourned.
As there wsis SO many candidates for
all the Offices it was generally expected
that warm time was certain. but the
general expectation for once at least was
clear of, for we don't believe there ever
was convention in the county that went
| of "a smoothly as this one. Everything
was conducted in an aimable spirit, there
was no clashing betw :sn factions, no hard
words by the candidates, and no sweet
eloQuence wasted on the desert air, by
any Of the delegates in the presentation

ticket, aud which is also safe TO say will b
elected.
