Adopted.
On motion Of Gen. ]. II. Kidd, of

Voorhees,, o. ;. Tower.

ner, Simeon Brennan, Geo. W. Shear.
They were adopted.
The next IN order was placing in
nomination the names of candidates.
The call of counties was begun, and
Allegan did not respond.
IONA RESPONDED.
Ionia came next and General
James III. Kidd took the floor
TO present the name of Frank ID.
NJ. DAVIS, Of Ionia. "The Committee
on Organization dealt kindly with Ionia
because il allowed Ionia TO get ahead of
Kent IN the matter of nominations" he
began. "This Is the first time that |
have ever asked Congressional con-
vention to listen 10 my voice, but have
been requested bv the Ionia delegation
10 present name before you for your
kind, just and deliberate consideration.
The nobiest sentiments thatcan animate
u human beings breast is patriotism
and We, in the Iona delegation, are
loyal to our people. Ii has been our
pleasure IN past years 10 show our
loyalty to the other counties. 1t has
been our pleasure to stand by many of
those splendid war horses of the Repub-
hcan party.
.In 1880 Geo. W. Weber, as good a
Congressman as ever represented this
district, was nominated and elected by
an overwhelming majority, but allow
me to say that we intend to be loyal
this year, no matter who the choice of
the convention Is. The man ! wish TO
present is young Republican of Ionia.
lie is man who has been before the
public before. He has filled the place
of Circuit Court Commissioner for two
terms, and two years ago he was elected
prosecuting attorney by over 1000 ma
lOrity. / take pleasure In presenting
the name of Frank ID. VI. Davis, of
Ionia. TIE Democrats are wiser than
we IN some respects, and they look TO
IOnia as the battle ground of the COM
ing election. Therefore, gentlemen,
you must not overlook Ionia county,"
When Kent county was called Fred
A. Maynard presented the name of c.
W. Watkins, saying:
"Nr Chairman and Gentlemen Of the Conven-
tiOn.
For and in behalf of the united, solid
snd enthusiastic delegation from the
County OF Kent, for and IN behalf OF

zans OF the Fifth Congressional district,

"Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
