The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1890-09-27
The Republican COnven'
tiOn.

The Republican convention met
in the court room on Saturay last
and went through the form of nom.
mating a county ticket. The at
tendance was about an average
but enthusiasm was at low ebb
The hosts( p were called to order
at 10 a. m. by G. M. Bowlby, chair
man of the county committee who
announced that the committee had
selected Mr.. III. w. Glove Of Falls
TIP. as chairman and DIR. Geo. Mar
shall of Perry TIP. as secretary OF
the temporary organization.
Mr.. Glove thanked the conven-
ton for the great honor, and said
it was the first time he had ever
been called upon to preside over a
Republican convention, and excus-
ed himself from making speech
for the reason that he couldent.
This magnanimous action on the
part Of the chairman appeared to
daze the assembly for the moment
and none appeared to know just
what to do.
A. II. Brooke at last came to the
rescue with motion to the effect
that the chair appoint a committee
of three to select committee of
five on permanent organization.
This motion carried and the
chairman selected, Stone, of Green,
Eggleston of Starr and A. FL.
Brooke Of the u. s. as such COM
mittee in the order named.
On motion of Eggleston, the
chair appointed committee on
credentials consisting of DIR. Allen
of Green, S. Frasure of Goodhope,
and Lew Wolf of Green.
Next on motion of Mcdonald OF
Falls, the chair appointed a COM
mittee on Rules and Order of busi-
ness consisting Of Gill, of Benton !;
Jones, of Perry; Jackson, Of Ward ;
Baker, of Logan and Beery of
Falls.
The committee to select COM
mittee reported that the com. to
select permanent officers should
consist of Eggleston, Pursell,
Bowlby, Mcdonald and Boardman.
Then on motion of Pursell, the
chair was required to appoint a
com. on resolutions but the chair
declared that he had appointed
everybody he knew and asked that
names be suggested which was
done and the following were nam
ed in order J. w. France, Pursell,
Bright, L. A. Matthias and James
Weaver.
After some discussion as to the
time and place of the meeting OF
the various committees the conven-
ton adjourned till 1.80 P. M.
One of the unique features of the
proceedings thus far was the ac'
ton of the chair in the selection OF
committees. Whenever any one
made a motion for the appointment
of a committee the chairman ap'
peared to take a predjucice against
him and he was severely let alone
AFTERNOON.
The convention was called order
at proper time.
On call of Committees Eggliston
reported that the temporary or.
ganization was made permanent
and w. s. Stone was made Asst
secretary, Report adopted, Com
on RULES and Order of Business
made usual report which was ad.
opted.

delegations present from thirteen
of the twenty precincts, that Muir
ray City was unrepresented and
that the committee knew nothing
about the others.
Next came the Com. on Resolu-
tions which reported as follows.
