The Republican -county convention was held here today to select delegates to the State and Congressional conven- tions. «All but three of the townships were represented. A committee of seven was appointed to retire and select the delegates and alternates, which they did as follows : STATE CONVENTION, Delegates.—C. M. Bernard, C. C. Forbes, J. W. Perkins, Joseph Atkin- son. Alternafes—E. V. Cox, Cicero Dawson, John Thompson, T. W. C. Moore. CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION. Delegates,—E.. V. Cox, Manning Moore, J. J. Perkins, J, T. Moye. _, Alternates—C. M. Bernard, C. C. Forbes, T. A. Wilkes, M, C.Gorham. While the committee was out’ E. V. Cox was called for and responded in a speech that was delivered as if under | pressure, evidently not knowing exact. |ly what to say, or he was afraid that he might say something he ought not. ut- ter. It-was amusing to see how he would start to venture to assert some- thing and then check himself with the ‘remark that it was too early. The burden of his remarks was to the Re- jpublicans to organize and be ready to take advantage of any emerge.cy that might arise. He did venture to say- though, that he would not be found anywhere but with the Republican par- ty whether it: was a mixed or straight ticket. Continuing he said that he would not be found doing much for ©} those who preferred a Democratic to a Republican legislature, and would _re- joice at the defeat of a Republican tick- et. He closed by telling the conven- Tsun wack ee nic ‘kes but they; {anybody and no reference was made to J. A.
