failed to develop who had been thrown

Who was the rider?
Our county convention was composed
of fifty representative men from all parts
of the county, all of whom were intelli
gent, sober and earnest From Morgan
township were sent eleven delegates, sia
of whom were from the city, and i've
from the country, representing all kinds
of business. To receive the united sup.
lport of such delegation for the nomina-
ton to any Office is very gratifying and
complimentary, and is an honor which
the recipient Acknowledges gratefully
Although the choice of these eleven del.
iegates did not seem to be the choice Of
the convention, nevertheless, he who
was that choice thankfully acknowledges
their cordial, earnest, united support and
wiz ever entertain for each Of the dele
cation the warmest friendship and graft
