of Paw Paw for secretary.
Mr.. Woodman declined the honor tender
ed him, stating that his time was already
! n,ortgaged for more than il was worth, and
that he could not possibly attend to tho
duties of the position. He SAID he regret
ted that he could not take the position, that
he realized its Importance, and while he
was extremely DESTROYS for the success of the
republican party and the triumph of its
principles, be could not devote the time and
energy that the chairman of the committee
should, to the work, and felt compelled 20
decline. The convention manifested quite a

ing Hon. j. Andrews an place of Mr.. Wood
