Tlio misguided mortal In charge oi' the weather buie.tu evidently looked with iitlle favor upon the People's Party convention that assembled at EgcrV opera house, last Wednesday. '1 he early morning brought forth a regular mid-winter snow storm. This did not discourage the delegates, however, and the result was that all the townships in toe c >uuty were represented, excepting Hanging Grove, Kankakee and Milroy. Some of the delegates braVed the storm for twenty-live miles, and in fact all who attended are certainly to be praised for their earnestness in making such a trip. They , were interested in the affairs of our county, and wanted to §q.£ a ticket placed in the field that would be an honor to any party as the above names suggest. Below we give the entire minutes of the proceedings of the convention as taken from the secretary's report. Purs lant to call by the county chairman, L. L. Ponsler, delegates previously selected, met in mass convention, at the opera house, in Rensselaer, on Wed- > nes Uv, March 2*t] . The convention was called to order by the county chairman, and upon motion Win. Washburn was se lected vi,) orary chairman and Frank Welsh as temporary secretary. Committees, were then appointed'by the chairman as ws: C > mum tee on Organization— M. 1. Adams, J. »v\ McCleary and B. F. R >biuson. Committee on Credentials— Wm. Hoover, Joel Spriggs and Lee Giazebrook. Committee on Order of Business—John Garriott, James Pierce and Walter Ponsler. Tne convention then adjourned until 2 p. m. for the completion of the business before it. AFTERNOON SESSION. At 2 o’clock p. m. the deleg tes again assembled and the j reports of the committees appointed in the morning were then received.

The coma.' e on organization being fht it reported the selection of t rank Welsh, as chairman, and C. B. Harrold, as secretaiy of the convention there assembled. The committee on credentials was called next and reported delegates present from all the townships in the county, excepting from Hanging Grove, Milroy and Kankakee townships. The report was accepted and the committee on order of business was next listened to. It placed before the convention rules by which the business of meeting might be carried on in a systematic manner. The report was accepted and the chairman then announced that nominations for the various county offices were then in order. The first one on the list being county clerk, W. D. Bringle placed in nomination the name of John A. McFarland, of Jordan township. There being no further nominations, he was declared the nominee by acclamation.

There were two candidates presented to the delegates for the office of county auditor, the first being that of T. 11. Robinson, of Gillam, undT. J. Mallatt, of Union township. There being two candidates, it was necessary to decide by a ballot to see which would be the successful one. After the vote, the result was as follows: Robinson 55 Mallatt 19 Robinson's majority. .30 Mr. Robinson having received a majority of the votes cast, was of course declared the nominee. There was but one name presented for the office of treasurer, and that was John L. Nichols, of Barkley township, and was taken by acclamation.

The office of county sheriff was next arrived at and the name of Ellis Jones, of Carpenter township, was given to the convention for their consideration. This seemed satisfactory and accordingly# his name was taken by consent of the delegates present. Further down the list we find names of Lee E. Giazebrook, of Marion, and Walter Harrington, of Union presented for the office of surveyor. Mr. Giazebrook declined the nomination, but the convention voted on the two men with the result below: Harrington.... 65 Giazebrook 7 Harrington’s majority. .58 M. Y. Slaughter, of Marion township, was the only name mentioned for county coroner. There being no opposition his nomination was made unanimous. When the townships were called for nominations for commissioner from the first district, the names of Frederick Kroeger.of Walker, Joel Spriggs, of Walker, and G. O. Stemble, of Wheutlield, were mentioned for the place. These nominations made it necessary to ballot for a nominee. But one ballot was re paired, which resulted as follows: Krueger 12 Sprisres 56 Stemble 18 Sprigg’s majority.. 26 Nominations were next made for commissioner from the second district, and the substantial names of L. Strong and A. J. Robinson, both of Marion township. were placed before the convention. This necessitated a ballot, which resulted as follows: Robinson 65 Strong 20 Robinson’s majority. .45 For commissioner from the third district,, the friends of John Stillman and G. G. Thompson, both of Carpenter, named these men as candidates for the office and after balloting the result stood, as follows: Thompson. 48 Stillman 36 Tnompson’s majority.. 12

It is useless for us to comment upon such a ticket r.- s presented to the intelligent, voters of Jasper county. They are men, who, if elected, will be an honor, not only to themselves and the offices in which they are placed, but to the men who helped to elect them. They are fully capable to fill the places and we hope to see them elected. We have not the space this week to give each candidate an individual mention, as we would like to do, but we will candidly say this much, that a better set of men could not have been placed upon any ticket than those who were nominated last Wednesday and we hope for their election next November
