arrange for it TO be separately repre-
sented in the next legislature. When
the Neagher county tickets were made

II representative la the legislative di-
visions. Thi, .as since been rcmedied
by the Mcagher democrats. one of
whose legislative nominees. J. +. An

tion has been extended for Foreus

This they will do hy nominating Gran
vile STUART, if he will accept, and if
not ny selecting some other good man.

altogether correct. The Meagher
county republican convention Only
nominated one representative, and
unanimously resolved to request the
republican central committee Of Fergus
county to select citizen Of the latter
county rs candidate for the second rep
re>entat.ve, which will be done soon.
After this action, the democratic cen
tral committee of Meagher county tool,

central committee of this county, at
their meeting ON Monday, placed
Granville stuart in nomination, as an
ticipatcd. L Is not yet known whom
the republicans will place in the field.
