County Republican Convention

At Ills this morning the delegates
elected to attend the republican ccun-
ty convention met at the court house
to elect delegates to the state conven-
ton which will be held in Fit. Worth
on the 10th of August.
The convention was called to Or
der by County Chairman Bloom, who
read the call which had been made by
the state chairman: after the reading
the convention got down to business.
j. G. Pearce placed the name of Gen.
A. G. Malloy in nomination for the
chair of the convention; this nOmina-
ton was seconded and Gen. Malloy was
elected chairman by acclama alton. The
general was escorted to the chair and
was introduced by Mr.. Bloom.
The next order of business was to
elect q secretary for the convention
and the anne of Frank P. Clark was
placed in nomination, but Mr.. Clark
stated to the convention that it would
be impossible for him to stay the en-
tire time at the convention on account
of business interfering, and asked that
his name be Withdrawn, which was
done.
J. G.. Pearce was nominated as
secretary, but Mr.. Pearce asked to
have his name withdrawn as he
thought some of the delegates from
the lower end of the county should be
hOnored by the position, and he no
minated D. L. Creswell for the posi-
ton. The nomination was seconded
and Mr.. Creswell was elected by &C
clamation.
w. S. McCutcheon made a motion
that three committees be appointed
by the chair, one on credentials, one
on resolutions, and one on order of
business and permanent: organization.
This motion was seconded and car
ried.
H. f. Bloom stated to the convention
that as county chairman he had issued
call for the primaries to be held in
the different places in the county. At
was Chas. Heintz and as Mr..
Heintz had completely Topped
over to the democratic party
lie had not called the meeting of pri-
mary and there were no official dele
gates to represent that precinct. He
made the motion that Mr.. Maxine Ar
anda be given voice in this conven-
ton. The convention after some argu-
ment didn't think that as q whole they
should act upon the motion, but refer
red it to the committee on credentials.
The chair then took up the matter
of the three committees and appointed
them as follows:
On credentials: II. f. Bloom, ID. Y.
Hadley, and W. S. McCutcheon.
On resolutions: Jas. Mari, d. l..
Creswell, and J. G. Murray.
On order of business and permanent
organization: Ed NJ. Fink, j. M. Du-
ran, j. s. Pearce, and l. G. Gaal.
At this point Col. Mari asked for
recognition from the ichair and on
receiving it went on to say in part,
that as Commodore Dewey commenced
to.fgbt the enemy at Manila before
breakfast and after having got a good
start in the work OF destroy ing, the enc
my he pulled q off from the fight
for breakfast and then went
into action again and
finished them up, and as this con-
ventjon has got started and is we'll I'M
der way to destroy the enemy it would
be a good idea to pull OFF and get re-
fresbments and meet here again at
two o'clock, and in the meantime the
committees which have been appointed
will be able to report to the conveD-
the above and after q little discussion
as to time of meeting the question was
called for and it was carried, after
which the convention adjourned for
dinner to meet again at two o'clock.
At o'clock Chairman Malloy called
the convention to order.
