II CONVENTION NoTRs.
Some Of the old democratic war.horse
were CONSPICUOUS by their absence.
The Pembins Cornet Band made the
harmonious harmony Of both conven
lions melodious.
The attendance and representation
was good and about equal in both con
vention. Toilette seems to he out o
politics this year, not sending delegates
to either.
| The prominence and frequency of can
didates from st. Thomas occasioned re
marks from country people. PARTICULAR,
around the democratic convention.
The Drayton proxies To persons otl,e
than residents were thrown out, becaus,
the statutes says such are illegal. W,
wonder what could have been don,
about it il the convention had concluded
to accept them. Every legislative Tod!
is judge Of it's own membership. VIII

ltion was unanimous? Who would pros
ecute and whom would be prosecuted

st. Joe delegates and some others, tia
they must 70 back on Hart, whom the,
favored, and vote for O'Connor, was tbs
Hart is the Alliance candidate. No sucl
argument was heard made howeve
when Comny was nominated.
