The convention was very largely
attended. Each precinct was repre-
sented by her quota Of delegates, and
all we're anxious to help name The
Delegate to our State convention
which will convene in Harrisburg on
Wednesday, August 2sth, 1895.
The weather with the exception OF
being quite warm, vas all that could
be judiciously asked for. Delegates
and visitors arrived by train and
private conveyances from 8 until II
o'clock. They we're indeed a reprs>
sentative body of men, with seeming
lv lots Of business OH hand. The
candidates and friends arrived at an
early hour in the morning, and
groups of four and half dozen peo~
ple could be seen on most every cor
ner engaged in earnest conversation
concerning, "who shall be our Dele
gate to the State Convention" This
being the only fight and in fact was
the only business done by our con-
vention.
It was lao p. m, when Chairman
Vincent called the convention TO orr
der. 1t was fine looking assem-
blage of men, the party having
chosen good representatives to do
the work of this convention.
Ulysses Bird Esq, of Estella, and
A. E. Campbell Of Skunk, were elect
ed temporary secretaries for enroll
ment. With this work done the
convention proceeded to organize by
electing officers of the convention.
Ulysses Bird ESQ, was made Pres
ident and r. H. Guye of Bernice,
and W. l.. Hoffman Of Hillsgrove
Vice Presidents; F. e. Rice of Lopez
and A. E. Campbell of Skunk, Scores
taries.
With the organization perfected
nominations for Delegate to the
State Convention was declared in
order. Hon. w. G. Rogers of Forks
Vile, and F. II. Ingham of Laporte,
were placed in nomination. Ingham
withdrew and Rogers was elected by
acclamation. Rogers will go to the
State convention uninstructed, but
will vote with the Administration
from first to last. 1t was this issue
that brought out the full attendance
Of delegates, and there is no doubt
of Mr.. Rogers position regarding
the issue of the day. He will vote
for Gov. Hastings for Chairman of
the State convention, and for Col.
Gilkeson for Chairman of the State
committee.

tion over, nominations for county
Offices were in order, but owing to
the feeling existing in the con-

postpone this work until some future
