The next thing in order was the
election of temporary Chairman, or
President of the Convention. Dr.
DeWolf. of Millerstown, was nomina-
ted, and elected without opposition.
He took the chair thanked the conVen-
ton. and asked for nominations for
Secretaries. Messrs. J. NJ. Carson,
A. NJ. Christley and Stephen Husel-
ton were nominated and elected, and
Mr.. Edward Riddle was called upon
to assist. in tabulating the vote. as
the sub district arrangement required
an additional tally paper. The roll OF
districts was then again called, and
the representatives handed in their
returns.
The President then asked for NOM
nations for Permanent Chairman OF
the County Committee, and w. q.
Findley, Esq, James B. Mates, Esq,
and Judge Robert Storey were nomi-
mated. The nominations were closed
and motion was made to vote, by
ballot, but another motion to confine
the Craftsmanship to the members OF
the Committee was first taken up and
carried. Mr.. Mates had already with
drawn and this motion cut out Judge
Storey, who was not present. Find
ley should then have been elected by
acclamation, but motion to recon-
slider, and appoint Committee on
permanent organization, brought on
discus lion and consumed some time,
but was finally lost, as was also
motion to reconsider the closing OF
the nominations, and Findley was
elected by acclamation. Findley is
bright young man Of good princi-
pies. He has been an active Repuo-
lican ever since be became voter,
and we believe the interests OF the
party are in safe hands.
Messrs. s. III. Huselton, James M.
Carson and A. M. Christley were
nominated for Secretaries OF the 20.
Committee and were voted for by bal
lot. Mr.. Il. w. Tinker and DR.. Fid.
Ter were appointed tellers, and their
count gave Carson 80 votes, Chrlstley
"a, and Huselton 81. clecting Carson
and Christley.
A motion to appoint committee
OF Eve on resolutions carried and the
Chair appointed: w. G. Findley,
Christy Robb, Josiah Kiskadden,
Thomas Patton and Reuben Shanor.
These gentlemen retired to private
room, the tabulating of the votes be-
gan, and the Convention took re-
cess.
1t was after O'Clock when the
committee on resolutions re appeared,
the members of the convention had
scattered and had not all returned,
and besides these there were but o
few others in the large room-two or
three newspaper men and half a dozen
candidates
The Committee asked leave to pre-
sent their resolutions as some mem
bers living in the northern part of the
county wished to take the next train
for their homes. This was granted,
but just as the reading was about to
begin, all present were astonished by
delegate Loke making motion that
all but delegates be excluded from the
room. Nobody seconded the motion,
and general inquiry as to its mean
ing went around the room. What did
it mean The man who made the
motion was asked the question, but
didn't answer. What had the Re.
publican party to conceal ? OF what
was it ashamed The real question
to be asked here was "WhaJ dirty
work is or hands," and that was soon
after discovered. The motion was
not considered and the Resolutions
were read as follows:
