most important officials of the
county, because upon them devolves

DELEGATES TO CONSTITUTIONAL CON-
VENTION.
The republican and democratic
parties in Graham county, as in
most, or all, other counties in the
territory, arrived at an understand
ing on the question of delegates to
the constitutional convention, where
by each party will be represented on
the ticket. The democrats, casting
a majority of the votes, were given
three of the places on the ticket and
the republicans the other two. This
was done in order to eliminate
politics from the statehood question,
which is in accord with the instruc-
lions from the territorial conventions
of each of the parties. Dell NJ.
Potter, of Clifton, and Peter Ander-
san, of Stafford, were selected by the
republicans. They are both good
and able men, and while their cleo
ton is assured it is certainty |
that they will never be called |
upon to qualify, for the proposition
of jOinture will be voted down by |
majority of about eighty-five or
ninety per cent.
