o'clock. The convention was
called to order by Mr.. A L. COTbly
as temporary chairman, aud c. h.
Baker, of the Daily Oil Review, was
selected as temporary secretary, all
other newspaper men being assist
ants. After the convention had
been organized the temporary or
ganization was made permanent
and the convention Immediately
got down to business.
The meeting of the Democratic
County Convention at Middle
bourne Saturday was one Of the
smallest that has ever been held in
the county in point of attendance.
The entire attendance did not MUM
Der over fifty people, but suffice it to
say that there has never been a
more enthusiastic convention, IT.
respective of parties, ever held
in the county. The Middlebourne
band, a fire organization, was in
attendance, and at every opportu-
nity discoursed some very pleasing
music, and this very materially
helped to enliven the convention.
The band is a good one, and it did
itself proud Saturday by the ex-
cellent music rendered.
On motion of F. D. Mccoy, of
Lincoln district, it was decided to
select delegates on the basis of one
for each fifty votes cast at the re-
cent presidential election, which
would allow 1e delegates for the
county. AS soon as this question
had been satisfactorily settled, the
chairman, on a motion by Mr.. Rig
gle, ordered the representatives
from the different districts present
to retire and select their delegates
to the congressional, senatorial
and district delegate conventions,
one of which will be held in ashort
time.
Following are the delegates Sc
lectcd by the several districts:
