Rensselaer Gazette, Volume 2, Number 14, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 August 1858 — REPRESENTATIVE CON VEINTION. [ARTICLE]

REPRESENTATIVE CON VEINTION.

The Convention to nominate a Representative for this district (composed of. Jasper and Pulaski counties) will meet at Francisville next Saturday. The district went for Buchanan in 1856 by 134 majority; but, in consequence of the Lecompton swindle, it is .now probable that, should we put up a strong man for Representative, we can elect him; while, on the contrary, if we put a man on the track in whom the people have not the utmost confidence, we certainly will Be defeated, as we ought to be. Therefore, it is of great importance that the Convention be well attended. Let the people of both count’.? - rpcet and confer together, and then net 1 ’<<ni Ann .; out their strongest man, resolving to go home and work for him until election-day. Turn out to Francisville next Saturday
