Mr.. W.. G. %Bergundthal, one of the
delegates to the state convention at
Cleveland, did not 20, but quite q num-
Der Of prominent Republicans from dit
ferent parts OF the county went with
the delegates, and the county will be
fully represented. Quite a number of
those who were here favored pressing
Colonel Poorman for the nomination for
secretary OF state without his being a
candidate for the office. They had
heard from Noble county, and the Mon
roe representatives were here, and it
was decided in the event that no one of
the candidates had lead enough OH the
first ballot to indicate his nomination as
n certainty, to get Eastern Ohio to solid
ly present Colonel PoormaI for the
place without consulting him in the
matter, arguing that neither the gov
crnor nor the colonel had any right to
dictate what they should do in the con-
vontion. Should this occur it would
simplify tho congressional situation in
this county and give the colonel q sure
thing. He has always been q Sherman
man and is right in line to have the
sympathy OF the Ohio Republican state
convention. This move is, of course,
contingent upon a favorable opportuni-
ty 10 press it, but stranger things than
Colonel Poorman's nomination for Sec
rotary OF state have occurred.
The farm hands union, the members
OF which recently completely routed the
man Carroll, who is organizing farmers
alliances in different parts of this coun-

several school teachers in the farm
hands union, who work during the
summer and teach during the winter,
and they seem to have been gathering
information about alliances OF various
kinds during their leisure time.
