NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

CHARLES W. MATHEWS of CRANKY.
REPJ'BLICANCONN YCONVENTION.
Above may be found the result OF the
Republican County Convention held at
Guildhall last Monday, and we feel that
it will be very acceptable to our people.
The nominee for Senator, +. A. Turner OF
Luncnburgh, is man OF irreproachable
character, able, and entertains broad and
progressive views on all public questions.
He is a farmer by occupation. His nom
ination was a surprise, FOR he was not
mentioned for the position. On the third
ballot he received one vote, gaining at
each subsequent ballot until finally nOmi-
mated, and then the nomination was made
unanimous. If elected he will represent
the county faithfully and well. Judge
Rosebrook has occupied the position of
assistant Judge, and his denomination
was in accordance with the custom pre-
vailing in this county. E. b. Beach OF
Maidstone is associated with him on the
ticket, and the selection ofthese two gen
tlcmen for these important Offices pleascs
their friends everywhere. No one thought
of any other man than d. S. Storrs for
Judge of Probate. His nomination is a
fitting endorsement of his work in the
past, and any other than that of Mr..
Lund for State Attorney was out of the
question, for our people know the laws
will be faithfully and wisely administer
ed. Orville D. CObleigh of Concord, the
nominee for sheriff. is a stirring, active fell
low, and he will doubtless perform the
duties of his office to the acceptance of all
and the same can he said respecting the
nomination Of Mr.. Poole of Guildhall for
High Bailiff and Mr.. Matthews ofGranby
for County Commissioner. Now let every
voter i'll the county take personal
interest in the campaign now upon us
and labor for the success of those ideas
that will best advance the best interests
OF our common veal, and the influence
will, we are sure, be seen i'll an Increased
Republican vote.
The story of the convention can be tolt
in few words. Thirty-eight delegate:
were present, two less than full dclega
ton. The convention was organized by
the choice of +. A. Turner for Chairman
and w. H. Bishop, Secretary, and at once

of the convention rested upon F. A. Tur
ner of Lunenburgh, and on motion hi
