One of the most quickly conducted. har
moniOus and enthusiastic conventions ever
held In the county was that of Wednesday
by the republicans, to nominate candidate
commissioner of schools and to send dele
gates to the state convention at Detroit next
Tuesday. Every township was represented
by some leading men of the communities,
and all are ready to turn in and push the
remainder of the defeated and sore silver.
ties over the bank into salt liver. A feel
ing of satisfaction at the glorious result of
the last election prevailed the delegates and
consciousness of a good deed done and the
satisfaction of its doing will urge them on
to complete the good work so successfully
commenced.
In the absence of County Chairman
Chapel, Secretary Fred Edwards read the
call as printed in The TINES of last week,
and asked Otto L. Sprague to preside. Mr..
Sprague said that as they were there for
business he would not take up the time nor
state the great principles upon which the
g. o. p. was still running, as the evident
belief of the voters at largo was In line with
that of the republican party.
On motion Of G. w. Loring, Frank West
colt was made temporary secretary. On
motion the chair appointed Il. o. Dewey,
j. w. Hubbard and II. p. HaIstead com.
mmittee on permanent organization and
order of business, and II. b. Mclaughlin,
Ezra Mason and Jonathan knight COM
'mittee on credentials. A motion by G. T.
Campbell for committee on resolutions
was defeated by an overwhelming majority.
A short discussion followed on the matter
Of basis of representation in the county
convention.

and order of business reported as follows:
Making temporary officers permanent;
report of committe on credentials; set
Ting Of basis Of representation in future
conventions; nomination of candidate for
school commissioner; election of dele

The report was adopted and Mr.. Dewey
presented the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the basis for representa-.
ton In future conventions be fixed at one
delegate for every 25 republican votes or
moiety thereof cast at the last preceding
general election for governor.
Odell Chapman offered as an amendment
that the basis be one delegate for every fifty
of the total vote, saying that he thought 1t
would give the weaker townships more
delegates and perhaps enthuse them to do
more work to redeem their townships. The
amendment was opposed by James Osburn,

and others, and was voted down almost
