Rensselaer Republican, Volume 18, Number 44, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 July 1886 — The Representative Convention. [ARTICLE]

The Representative Convention.

The convention to nominate a Republican candidate for Representative in the State Legislature for Jasper and Newton Counties was held at lair Oaks, in Jasper county, last Tuesday. There is no hall of suitable size to accomodate such a convention at Fair Oiks, and it was held out of doors, upon a platform prepared for the purpose. The convention was organized by electing Editor French, of Kentland, chairman. Andrew Hall, of. Kentland, then moved that the Hon. I. 1). Dunn, of Jasper comity, be re-nominated by acclamation, introducing his motion with a very neat little speeeh in favor of Mr. Dunn. The motion carried unanimously, and Mr. Dunu then accepted the honor in a brief but very fitting and appropriate speech. Nearly every delegate elected in the two counties was present, and eveYy township was represented. • The utmost good feeling and enthusiasm for the cause prevailed.
