By an oversight the report of the COM
mittee on Democratic Central Commit
tee was not furnished in the report of the
proceedings of the Convention last week.
The Central Committee selected by the
Convention is as follows: G. H. Ed
son, w. C. M. Brookins, John Mussel-

Henry Miller, E. S. Stotler.
On Monday Treasurer John Mussel-
man turned over the books, papers and
cash of the Treasurer's office, to his sue
cessor, Silas Laird. Mr.. Musselman's
settlement with the commissioners was
satisfactory to the cent, and his two
years management of the Office has
shown him to be an honorable, correct
and excellent business man. He has
golden opinions of the public and
retires from the Office with the good wish
es and approval Of all parties of his ad-
ministration. Mr.. Musselman was an
honest, faithful, energetic and efficient
servant, as all Democrats elected
in this county have proven to be. We
will cheerfully say the same of his Re-
publican successor at the end OF his SER
vices, If he deserves it.
