Judge Bantz was declarodthe tempora-
~ chairman Of the convention, and the
ballot showed that there had been cast
IO8 votes out Of ITO delegates which had
been elected to the convention, and that
it was the largest county convention
ever held in Grant County. On taking
the chair, the Mr.. Bantz said: "Mr.
chairman and gentlemen of the conven-
ton: / thank you for the honor which
you have bestowed upon me, and with
your patience and kind assistance 1
shall endeavor to preside fairly and I'M
partially. A few days ago l heard there
was a new candidate out and that his
name was Harmony. We must be more
than precinct democrats, and unless we
make u allegiance to the democratic
party higher tina any candidate, we
cannot be a respectable, much less a
formidable, opponent to the republican
party. Lot us heed the advice Of David
B. Hill, and in the approaching struggle
present a solid front to the common enc
N.Y. and remember that loyalty to the
regularly nominated candidates is the
supreme duty of the hour ] hope that
the ~jealousies and chickering's which may
arise here to-day will be locked with
the doors Of this convention. Let the
broad banner of democracy be swung to
the breeze and every man do his duty
until the last ballot is counted on the
evening OF the 9th Of next November"
