Xominations for connty offices being in order, the name of Irving Yeckley of Ypsilanti town was suggested for the sheriffalty. Tliere being no other aspirant lie was unanimously nominated. Xext in order as per report of business committee was the position of judge of probate. IVm. E. Depew of Chelsea being presented, and there being no other contestant in the race, Mr. D.was also nominated byHacclamation. Mr. Kinneyarose and moved the same honor be extended to prosecuting torney Emerick, connty clerk Clark, circuit court commissioners MacMahon and Ilunt, to none of whom tliore was apparently no opposition. They too, were similarly dealt by. V. F. llatch of Chelsea was named Lor treasurer; but that gentleman arose and declined the honor, for his village liad already the distinction of furnishihg one candidate, whicta in his mind was enough. Another delegato relieved the dilemma by suggesting Mr. Fitzmyer of Freedom, postmasterof Fredoaia. and the delegates applauded over the idea that there might be a prospect of electlng him on the supposition that democratie Gertnans will come to his su pport. Mr.i was theref ore nominated. Who shall be the victïün for register of deeds developed some rivalry. A ballot showed the following result: E. F. Gilbert , 73 li. II. Maren 2i W. W.Hess 20 II. R.llill 1 Mr. Gilbert was voted be the candidate. John K. Yocum of Lyndon was renominated by acclamation for surveyor. E. ü. Kinne asserted that there was a necessity of legal learning being lodged in the candidate for coroner, and he suggested the name of J. F. Lawrence. The latter delégate arose and Raid that inasnmch as the reraarks of his legal brother were true, he suggested that Mr. Kinne bo also nominaled for the other coronership. The neat turn of the joke upon the author brought down the house, which refused to lay both nominations on the table by motion of Kinne. And the names of these legal luminnries wili therefore appearon the ticket nrovided the couhty committee don't let them ofï. Who for senator? was asked all over the house. Wheeler of Salem being named, said he positively declined to run. The convention went to an infor mal ballot resulting thus: A. .!. Sawyer 26 Zwinke 24 Wheeler 7 J. W. Childs 2 Dr. Sinitli 18 ,1. W.
