COUNTY CONVENTION,
Called by the Democratic County
Committee to Select Dele
gates to the
State and Judicial Conventions,
Held at the Court House
Yesterday Afternoon.

Inc uem craLlc county convention,
which nominated candidates for the
various county Offices, selected dele
gates to the state and judicial conven-
tons, but it being subsequently ascer-
tanned that the correct number of del
egatcs had not been chosen, it was
deemed best by the county committee
10 hold new convention, thinking
this plan would give better satisfac.
ton than if the additional delegates
were appointed by the committee.
Accordingly primaries were ordered
IN the varions townships, to be held
Saturday last, and the dele.
gates thus elected, assembled
at the court house yesterday
afternoon at two o'clock. The con-
yention was called to order by Frank
Craycroft, chairman of the county
central committee, who briefly ex-
planned the object Of the meeting.
The chairman stated that as many
of the delegates desired to transact
the business before them in order to
Get home on the 3 o'clock train, he
would suggest that a temporary Or
ganization be dispensed with.
THE ORGANIZATION.
On motion of Mr.. Guthrie of La
monte, temporary organization was
dispensed with, and on motion of II.
G. Sinnet, Frank Craycroft was elect
cd permanent chairman. Capt. Ouin-
ten Campbell was chosen secretary.
Upon calling the roll of townships
it was ascertained that fifty-two dele
gates were present. The following
named townships were found
to be not represented; Heath Greek,
Longwood, Houstonia, Cedar, Bow
ling Green, Smithton, Prairie, Elk
Fork and Washington.
There were no primaries held in
Cedar, Elk Fork or Prairie townships,
but there were representatives from
each of the townships present, those
from Cedar, however, refused to act
In the capacity of delegates.
Nearly all of the delegates from
Seda..a township answered to iheir
names, but a few were represented
by proxy.
Mr.. Craycrof very briefly returned
thanks for the honor conferred upon
him by his selectson as permanent
chairman of the convention.
SELECTING DELEGATES.
G M. A. CLANCY moved that a |
committee of three be appointed from
each district for the purpose of report |
liza to the convention, the names of
suitable persons for delegates to the
state and judicial conventions.
Frank Houston said that
he did not think that the
work of the former convention,
should be undone, but merely supple
mented. He moved an amendment
to shat effect, which was after some
discussion adopted by a vote of q to
Is, but the original motion seems to
have been lost sight of, and was never
pat before the convention.
Mr.. Sennettand DR.. j. A. G. Brown
were of the opinion that the only pro-
vince of the convention was to elect
entire delegations to the state and
judicial conventions.
Finally a substitute for the motion of
M CLANCY and the amendment of
MI, Houston offered by DR.. Brown,
was adopted. 1t was to the effect that
q committee of four from each district
disappointed to the convention the
names of suitable persons for dele
gates to the state and judicial conven-
tions.
The chair announced the commit
tee as follows Eastern district,
