THE CALL FOR A MASS CoNvEN-
TION

M. Editor We have noticed the two
communications from Townshend in relation
~ the action taken at the county convention
making exceptions b the proceedings Of
that body. and calling for mass conven-
ton TO put IN nomination candidates in op-
position TO the regular nominees for sena
tors. IL is not necessary here to state the
reasons given for the call. for they are gen
orally known, but it is not a difficult thing
to read between the lines of the various
epistles sent out that the animus of the
whole thing is caused by the disappointment
ON the part Of some delegates and their
friends that their favorite candidate did not
get the nomination, or that some have
tretted under the idea that they lost their
heads at the crucial moment and allowed
themselves 10 be outwitted by the so called
brattlehoro politicians, who. after repeated
halloting, put forward a new man and sue.
ceeded IN getting him nominated That
II was put up job is an argument that
might have been made against the friends
Of any other candidate that might have
captured the nomination There has been
no evidence presented yet 10 show that dis
honorable means were used to carry the day
1t Is to be hoped that the voters of the
county will move slowly towards acuuiesciug
10 the call for mass convention. for the
opinions and judgment OF men who, after
being worsted IN fair argument or con
test, begin ~ accuse and abuse should be
taken at "A discount. The regular conven-
ton was regularly called, regularly con
vened. and regularly proceeded to the bust
ness of the hour and put in nomination for
senators men who will, no doubt, capably
and honorahly serve the county aud state
Let Us abide 10y the decision Of that conven-
ton, Il 1t did, through selfish motives or for
other reasons, fail 10 put forward the best
men, and make an effort TO hereafter send
class OF delegates 10 conventions who will
not he likely to Toe troubled with sore heads
or be easily Influenced 10 do those things
which, upon after thought, seems 10 them
to be contrary to their better Judgment
