Moved and carried that the convention

suited as follows: G. II. Schmidt, 80;

s. Pierpont, IL.
The first formal ballot was taken with

nomination of G. II. Schmidt by the fol
lowing vote: G. 81. Schmidt, 43; John

After the first formal ballot was taken
it was discovered that Mr.. Weinkoe.z of
Eaton had cast the four votes of that
town for which he held proxies, but, as
the committee on credentials had only
awarded him two votes, he was thereaf-
ter only allowed to cast that number.
At the third and last ballot there was
one more vote cast than the number the
committee on credentials reported the
convention entitled to, but as G. H.
Schmidt had received clear majority
after deducting the extra vote from the
number he received, and the opposing
candidates consenting, he was declared
the nominee of the convention; where
upon the convention adjourned sine die.
