Republican County Convention.

SeSR0b&AS04 SS6@Asy SS4NSA~sS~>>s
The republican county convention held in
COrunna on Friday last drew out the largest
attendance of any convention ever held In
the county. The republicans of Corunna
had the court house finely trimmed, with
flags, portraits of Harrison and Reid, large
banner bearing the words: "Our candidates
Harrison and Reid Rich and Linton, are
for protection and reciprocity, honest mon
ey, an honest ballot and fair count, and
the G. o. p. is right behind them"
Across the street was the most beautiful
banner ever swung to the breeze in the
county. On it were pictures of Harrison
and Reid and the name of w. S. Linton, our
candidate for congress. The banner was
purchased of Chicago firm at a cost of $65.
w. M. Fitzpatrick called the convention to
order at II o'clock. In his preliminary re-
marks Mr.. Fitzpatrick called attention to the
excellent national and state tickets in nomi-
nation and urged the convention to be care
full in the selections to be made for the
county ticket. The administration OF Pres-
dent Harrison was pointed to with pride as
being the best and cleanest since the days
of Washington. His reference to the state
ticket headed by John Il. Rich, the almost
unanimous choice of Shiawassee county
republicans, brought forth rounds of ap-
plause. Mr.. Fitzpatrick said he had known
Mr.. Rich for years and that he was always
the same John Il. Rich every time you met
him. Plain, unassuming, John Il. Rich
sure to be the next Governor of Michigan.
The nominee for congressman was, also, a
strong man fitted to fill the place. He
called especial attention to the method OF
choosing presidential electors, urging the
hearty support of the nominee in this dis
trict. Mr.. Fitzpatrick then nominated Judge
Josiah Turner, of OwOssO, as temporary
chairman. Upon taking the chair Mr.. Tur'
ner said: Il thank you for the honor to pre-
= side over the deliberations of this meeting
This is the first time for twelve years that
have attended political convention. But
feel that this is a republican year and an
glad to be here. My friend Dewey remind
ed me the other day that l was chairman OF
| the first Republican state convention, which
was held at Marshall. L had forgotten al
about it the same as | have forgotten how
they run conventions. So l came to learr
today. l suppose the conventions are rur
, the same now that they were years ago
honest. You see l am a young man and an
2 considerably interested in these matters
and | propose to do my share OF the work.
= The Judge was frequently interrupted 10y
applause, the climax of which was reached
when he remarked as he sat down that, 81
