Republican county convention met In the
Court House at . =. ". to-day and selected
thirty seven delegates TO represent shis
county in the State aud Second Congress
ional Conventions, nearly all o. whom
will attend. The selection Of 20 : large a
delegation to represent this county Ia sume'
thing unprecedented. Never In the last
fourteen years have the Republicans ol
berkeley been as confident Of carrying the
