for Resolutions.
The republican county convention,
, which was held at Hartford last Wed
nesday, was one Of the smoothest, most
harmonious and expeditions conventions
ever held in the history of the party in
this county. The convention met shortly
after 10 o'clock and in little over one
hour all the business of the day had
been transacted and the convention ad-
jourped.
Hon. n. +. Simpson, chairman of the
county committee, called the convention
to order and Secretary E. b. Bennett
read the call. Mr.. Simpson in a few
well chosen words thanked the members
of the county committee for their hearty
cooperation during his service as chair
man. He then called Wm. G. Mosier as
temporary chairman of the convention.
Mr.. Mosier expressed his appreciation
of the honor conferred upon him and
stated that he had confidence in the
republican party and believed that every
thing would work in harmony for the
success of the ticket from top to bottom
and that good majorities would be rolled
up for every candidate from governor
to coroner.
Breyity seemed to be the prevailing
idea of the day. The addresses we're all
exceedingly brief aud the convention at
once settled down to business
G. D. Monroe of the South Haven
Tribune was made te nporary secretary,
and the following committees we're ap.
pq1ted:
Permanent organization and order OF
business-C. M. Van Ripper, Hartford;
G. e. Trim, Bloomingdale; M. H. Young,
Paw Paw.
Credentials-M S. Thomas, Decatur;
Sheldon Coleman, Antwerp; Andrew
Lang, Covert.
Geo. L. Rich of Waverly moved the
appointment of committee on resolu.
tious. Andrew Lang of Covert suggest
ed that it would not be wise to appoint
a committee on resolutions, that it would
delay the adjournment and that really
there was nothing for the convention to
"resolve" Mr. Rich's motion was lost
and the convention adjourned without
resolutions,
The chairman appointed M. r. Russell
of Bangor and h. j. Mower Of Lawrence
as telers.
The officers of the convention were
duly sworn, and the reports of commit.
tees read and adopted. The temporary
organization was made permanent, and
the credentials committee reported that
the convention was entitled to 1874 dele.
gates and that only l20 were present
and entitled to vote.
&. y. Monroe IN neat speech pre-
sented the name of Sam. IL. Wilson OF
South Haven for chairman of the coun.
ty committee to take the place Of Hon
n. r. Simpson, whose term had expired
No other names we're presented, and the
choice of Mr.. Wilson was unanimous
He thanked the convention for the honor
conferred and asked the cooperation oi
the new committee in the coming cam.
gn and in all things pertaining to the
