The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1884-10-02

a. strenuously objected. He said he could
not afford to accept the Office with its pres
emit salary of $500, that he would not have
il under any circumstances, even If he were
sure of every vote in the county; 1t would
break up his business; 1t was matter Of
bread and butter to him, and he must de-
cline the honor. The name of w. II. Tuck
er was also mentioned, but met with no
favor. The irrepressible Bailey took hand
in the discussion and said to Tabor, ave are
going to vote for you and elect you" "You
keep mum and I'll keep num-" "What are
we here for?" "To elect Tabor and we're
going to do it." Capt. Hendryx said Tabor
could be elected but Tucker couldn't. He
though. it Tabor's duty to accept, and hoped
the convention would insist on it. Tabor
repeated that he could not accept; if salary
was commensurate with the work he would
not say word. Bailey to the front again as
follows, "Mr. Chairman, / will furnish Mr..
Tabor his bread and butter and his potatoes"
Tabor's declination being peremptory and
final, notwithstanding Bailey renewed
his bread and butter offer, the name of Z.
II. Annable of Paw Paw, was suggested, and
he was nominated by acclamation, although
it was said he certainly would not accept.
ballot was taken for Register of Deeds,
resulting as follows: II. w. Vaughn of Hart
ford, ~; II. G. Paddock of Geneva, pa scat
tering 6. The nomination of Mr.. Vaughn
was made unanimous.
For circuit court commissioner there
seemed to be no aspirants. Austin Herrick
of Bangor, was suggested. A. NJ. Harrison
vouched for Herrick's democracy, stating
that he would certainly vote the democratic
ticket, but that he would not accept the of
fee. w. N. Cook of South Haven, was also
suggested, but his friends said he too would
not accept. Finally, Cal. Cross of Bangor,
bore off the empty honor by reclamation.
For coroner the name of DR.. Vaughn of
Covert, was presented, but he said as his
father had been nominated for register of
deeds, he thought that would be too much
Vaughn for the ticket to carry. DR.. w. b..
Hathaway of Bloomingdale, was then nom
mated by reclamation.
For representative Capt. Hendryx pre-
scented Erastus Osborne of Hamilton, Z. L.
Stevens submitted the name of Isaac Mon
roe of Lawrence, and j. f. Jordan nominated
l.. A. Tabor of Lawton. Mr.. Tabor did not
decline this honor, although the salary is
still less than that of prosecutor, but re-
marks were audible around the room to the
effect that Tabor couldn't leave his business,
that he couldn't afford to accept the Office,
etc. A ballot was taken which gave Monroe
46. Tabor IA, Osborne 4. Monroes nomina-
ton was made unanimous, and loud calls
were made for Monroe, Monroe. But Ike is
not speech maker and had suddenly disap.
peared. A committee was appointed to pro-
duce his body, "peaceably if they could, for
chilly if they must A committee was also
appointed to inform the greenbackers of the
action of the convention. While waiting,
Jordan was called out for a speech. He
afterwards said to the reporter of the NORTH
ERNER that he, the reporter, being the only
republican in the room, it was hard matter
to abuse him, but he did his best in that
line
The committee returned with Ike's body
and stood it up on the platform. Just then
he looked as though he would willingly
abandon all his expectations of legislative
honors, if he could only find an avenue of
escape. Even an earthquake would have
been godsend. He managed to thank the
convention for the honor conferred, when
Mr.. Yaple's appearance at the door
gave him chance to subside The high
priest was received with applause, but de-
clined to make speech as he was to speak
later in the day.
The committee to visit the greenbackers
returned and stated that only two nomina-
tons had been completed by that body. A
motion was adopted TO ratify whatever had
been done or that might thereafter be done
III the other house, and the convention hia-
riously adjourned.
THE GREENBACKERs.
The blushing greenback bride presided
over her share of the nuptal ceremonies at
Marshalrs hail. surrounded by select coterie
of admirers. The master of ceremonies
being absent, l. w. Van Fossen called the
meeting to order, and nominated Hon. A. S.
Dyckman as temporary chairman. Mr. Van
Fossen was then mentioned for secretary,
but declined on plea of sickness, whereupon
.. l.. Mosier was called to that position. At
this point of the proceedings the relatives of
the coy greenback maiden remembered that
no definite agreement had been made with
the groom as to the settlement he should
make upon his bride-elect, therefore, a COM
mittee consisting of Geo. II. Rix, j. ID. Har-
ris, l.. Bridges, Daniel Carney, and j. j.
Clement was appointed to wait upon him
and ascertain his intentions in this respect.
David Woodman, Sylvanus Rowe and l.. w.
Whitbeck were chosen as committee OH Gre
dentials; Daniel Van Auken, VIM. Hurlbut,
joel camp, OylNanuS howe, unu DaNlu WOOD
man were enrolled on the list of favored ones
who should meet Mr.. Yaple at the depot, and
join in singing "Lo! the conquering hero
comes, etc." w. II. Hurlbut, Barney Odell
and ID. Brown were named as committee on
and the temporary officers were
made permanent. Just here, strains of mu-
sic from the band greeted the ears of the
anxious watchers, and an immediate rush
for the windows was followed by speedy
AFTERNOON SESSION.
An arrangement satisfactory to both OF the
high contracting parties having been made,
were resumed at 1890.
The committee on credentials reported -
townships represented as follows: Pine
Grove, 10; Antwerp, 3; Arlington, 8; Wa
verify, 3; Paw Paw, ID: Bangor, Z; Almena,
g; Decatur, g; South Haven, 81 Porter, s;
8; Hartford, 9; Keller, 3.
Here the conference committee read the ar
ticles of agreement, in which the generous
groom relinquished all claim TO the offices of
sheriff, clerk, treasurer, one circuit court COM
one coroner, surveyor, and repre-
sentative from the northern district. j. ID.
Harris very frankly acknowledged that his
party had willingly accepted treasurer in lieu
of prosecuting attorney, for lack of legal
