Republican Convention.
Harmonious Proceedings-A
Strong Ticket Nominated.

The republican county convention
assembled in Plymouth on Saturday
for the nomination of all county and
township officers. There was a large
attendance: there being an unusually
small number of proxies, considering
the long distance a vast majority of
the delegates had to travel. We
published list of the delegates in
the last issue. 1t is therefore I'M
necessary to repeat the same.
The convention was called to order
by Z. A. Herrick as chairman of
the county central committee. On
motion A. M. Gall was elected tenn
porary chairman, and Claude Wilson
of Oleta, temporary secretary.
On motion committees composed of
two members from each township
we're selected as follows:
On credentials-C. NJ Kelly. S Har
ris, W. A. BENEFITS, A. Adams, F. NJ.
Whitmore, d. Ii. Hutchinson, w. q.

An adjournment was here taken
until l 80 p. m. Upon reassembIlng
the committee on credentials report
ed 81 delegates entitled to seats in the
convention. One proxy from a.
Haverstick to II. E. Kay was referred
back to the convention for settlement,
the committee being unable to agree
upon Its acceptance or rejection.
The point was raised that it had been
given to Kay by telephone, and that
it was sent too late. This peculiar
position assumed Immediately opened
up spirited discussion. K. Webb
moved that the proxy be accepted,
and voted by the delegate on whom it
was given. 10 refuse it would be
absurd and unjust. 1t made no
difference whether sent by telephone
or telegraph. There was no question
raised as to its genuineness. and there
fore no point should be raised about
its acceptance, any more than if it
had been given in writing in the
usual way. Chas. II. Crocker and
f. NJ. Whitmore also spoke strongly in
favor of Its acceptance, and WA.
BENEFITS and others against its adj
mission. a vote was taken resulting
in the proxy being accepted. The
contest over the sheriff's nomination
was at the bottom of this stand for
the rejection OF the proxy. The
proxies were: North jackson 2, East
Jackson 3, West jackson l, Pine
Grove l, East Suffer Greek 2, South
Suffer l, South Plymouth l.
In South Plymouth the tie vote at
the primaries was settled py the seat
ing of both sets of delegates with one
half vote each.
