The resolutions adopted condemn the

for Office in securing their election
commend the candidates nominated
to the support Of the people; demand
the passage Of law regulating with
justice to all the grading of wheat and
fixing the charges of transportation
thereon, and pledge the candidate nom.
mated for Representative to vote and
use his influence for the passage o1
such q law if elected.
It being very generally conceded
that the Republicans will elect thei1
county ticket, the Democrats found
considerable difficulty to pick up can.
didates enough TO make respectable
showing, and but for the old standbyl
coming to the rescue q number Of th,
offices would have gone begging.
