Peter Ntzhugh, of Armagh, Glenfarne,
We're duly nominated at 2 o'clock. No
Unionist candidate appealing, Mr.. Pc
ter McHugh's paper was withdrawn
and Alderman AIcHugh was declared
elected. AT the convention in prum>
keerin on the previous Thursday, it
had been decided that both Alderman
McHugh and his father should be put
i'll nomination, and that both should
go to the poll in case any Unionist
candidate We're put forward. The as
sembled delegates, whose power is SUI
preme, also decided on a division of
the polling districts between Alderman
McHugh and his father so that the
former should be ahead of the latter
and that Mr.. McHugh senior should
be long way ahead of any possible
Unionist. The splendid loyalty and
perfect organization of the National
lists of North Leitrim made the realiz-
alton Of the conventions intention
quite easy of accomplishment. 1t is
needless to add that the reelection of
Alderman McHugh has been hailed
with unbounded enthusiasm.
