The county Republican committees of the
several counties will proceed to call county
conventions in their respective counties and
elect delegates and alternate delegates from
each of said counties to the Territorial Con
vention above designated.
1t Is desired that uticient notice of such
conventions be given. The Territorial Re-
publican committee respectfully recommends
that the said county conventions be held
early in the last half of the mouth Of Sep
TENDER, but such date should be fixed there
for as, after giving due notice to the Repub-
cans Of the counties, will be most conve-
nent.
1t is presumed that the custom heretofore
prevailing in the several counties of the
Territory, whereby delegates to the Terrific
| rial convention are elected from the respec-
tive counties by the conventions which as
semble to nominate county officers, Will pre-
vail during the present year.
~ To the end that all counties in the Terri
tory, remote from or near to the p ace OF
holding the Territorial convention, shall
have opportunit; to be represented therein
fairly, and to prevent any extraneous inter-
ference with the deliberate desires of the
Republicans of each county, the following
rules have been prescribed by former con-
ventions for the government of the Republi-
can Territorial conventions in the Territory
OF Montana:
1-Delegates and alternate delegates shall
be elected in the future to Territorial con-
ventions, and in the event of the failure of a
delegate to attend the alternate delegate
shall cast the vote of the delegate whose al
ternate he IN.
2-In the absence of a delegate and his
alternate, a majority of the delegation from
that county shall cast the vote of the alb
sentee.
SIN the absence Of all the delegates and
aiIsInate ueltBaJeS from any county, no vote
shall be cast for such county.
Ain the county in which the Territorial
convention shall be held when any delegate
and his alternate delegate are absent, there
shall be no vote cast in their behalf
5-Delegates and alternate delegates must
be Republican residents of the county which
they represent
At no former period in Its Political history
have the Republicans of the Territory Of
Montana had presented to them so many in
centives for unity and thoroughness of po-
litical action, and IL is earnestly desired that
the convention hereby called shall represent
faithfully the vital energy and beneticent
impulses of the Republicans of the Territory
of Montana.
BY order of the Territorial Republican
committee.
