injured. From the standpoint OF resi-.
dent and business man 1t appears that
very discreet men should be elected for
the position, men who are independent
Of oil pledges and who are free to take
such action as the interests of the state
and this portion of the James River VAL
Icy demand; who are fearless OF con-
oluslons and will take stand for the
right. That's the kind 1T man to repre-
sent this county In saying this, he
wanted it distinctly understood that he
meant nothing prejudlcisl to the char
scter and ability of any OF those gentle
men whose names have been suggested
40 candidates.
The principal local work which such q
representative would hsve to do, to
which Mr.. Wells referred, would be to
prevent the removal from this city to
Grafton Of the feeble minded institution
which has been located in this city in
connection with the insane asylum and
which can be maintained here cheaper
than at any other point in the state. Mr..
Wells believed, he said, that there are
men IN the democratic party with whom
any promised arrangement, which might
have for it's result this year
the procurement of the services
of the ablest and staunchest men IN this
county, would be productive of ultimate
good to the people of this state and to
the republicans of this county. If the
result of the adoption of the resolution
would be to secure such men, and one OF
them should be a democrat-he was not
prepared to concede that any loss would
entail upon the republlcans-would
y 10 f<v
two months fight to secure that Office.
For those reasons he favored the adop-
tlon OF the resolution and was strongly
supported by A. Steel.
CONVENTION NOTES.
Proxies were later withdrawn by r. A.
Taylor, Geo. Burgett anal. j. Latta.
During the morning session a COM
mun1catlon was received from SharloW
preclpct giving thereport of the Monday
primary. The report, it is said, was
signed by the secretary, said to be deaf
and dumb person. The communication
was laid on the table.
Two delegates were elected IN Sharlow
precinct, Geo. Porter and son, but in the
absence Of his son from the convention,
Mr.. Porter was granted two votes by the
convention.
In Iowa precinct there was a tie in
their caucus and four delegates we're
elected although the precinct is entitled
to but two. Each OF the four were given
BALI vote each.
There was contest in Windsor pre-
clnct and the credential committee re-
commended the seating OF Wm. Buck
walter and Bert Wells.
The hotel lobbies and the street cor
ners we're enlivened last evening with
little knots of aspirants for Office and
delegates, whom the former were "see-
ing" and becoming acquainted with. Snch
an excessive amount OF urbanlty is
rarely to be seen except about conven.
tion and election time.
The number of commissioners OF con-
ciliation to be voted upon provoked con-
siderable discussion, there being DIFF
ference OF opinion as to the number de-
sired to be elected. The matter was
disposed of by E. NJ. Doughty OF Ypsi-
lanti, offering the resolution, which was
carried, that the county central COM
mittee be empowered to investigate the
subject and place on the ticket the
proper number Of candidates, and that
such nominees be the choice OF the con-
vention.
