TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION.

Dewey was made temporary chairman.
On taking the chair General Dewey
addressed some pertinent remarks to the
convention, first conveying thanks for
the honor bestowed upon him, He
said that 80 far as he had been able to
observe from outside appearances the
convention would be the most harmon
ious in the history of Ysnkton county
politics and it would be his pleasure to
contribute to that harmony. It was the
duty of the convention to first select
delegates to the legislative convention
and to mex nominate candidates to
county offices. He hoped men would
be sent to the Legislative convention who
would select candidates who would undo
the bad legislation of the last session
and curtail the power OF Governor
Church. lie hoped and believed
that the selection for .eounsy
officers would be SO wisely made
that the reputation OF republican man.
agement OF county affairs for safety and
honesty would be maintained. The
large attendance upon the convention
sho wed a general interest in politics
and the issues before the people at this
important crisis. After three and q half
years of democratic rule affairs were not
in good shape and general dIstrust ex.
listed. Again thanking the convention
for selecting him TO preside, the chair
man closed his remarks.

tary OF the convention and the motion
