The Mercury, Thursday, Feburary 10, 1876, Carlisle, Nicholas Co., KY The Precinct Meetings. We give below the names of the persons elected on Saturday last from the various precincts ofthe county, as delegates to the County Convention to be held at Carlisle on Saturday, February 12th. The interest of the occasion drew out large crowds of voters at the various precincts. With one notable exception, all the meetings were characterized by harmony, and while warm preferences were shown by the friends of the several aspirants, yet not to a degree inconsistent with the highest interest of the party: ELLISVILLE.--The meeting was characterized by order and good feeling. James Hughes, T.L. McCann and Elias Blake were chosen as delegates to represent the district, untrammeled by instructions. HEADQUARTERS.--The following delegates and alternates were chosen: Delegates-- J.H. Gaunce, J.M. Thomas, T.M. Sharp, G.C. Smith, Jacob Snap, Alternates--J.H. Snapp, Stiles Sterman, T.J. Guance, M.M. Yates and W.F. Cottingham. ---?--- was made that the delegates --?-- --structed lost by a vote of 87 to 67. CARLISLE.--The meeting was large. The utmost good feeling prevailed. The following delegates were elected: John A. Campbell, L.M. Campbell, W. S. Spencer, Mike Minogue, Wm. L. Piper, Jas. McConnauughhay, Wm. Caldwell and Robt. Barr. BUZZARD ROOST.--Sanford Blount, Eli Hamilton, Wm. Wills and Wm. Ledford. BLUE LICKS.--G. Cheathamm H. Collins and G. W. Newman. UNION.--We have received no official report from this precinct. Indeed from what we can gather there was nothing official done; no delegates chosen. Almost every man in the county has become a reporter of the meeting, and suich a mass of rumors of disorder, insubordination, personal reportee,--of everything indeed that was opposite to order would fill twelve columns of the Mercury. We hope these rumors are exagerated and perhaps they are. We refrain from further comment, and can only express the hope that the voters of Union will speedily adjust all differences and come solidly to the front among the other precincts in the spirit of true loyalty to the party. We need peace in our councils. Peace is better then victory. P. S. Since the above was in type we learn that the Executive commitee met in Carlisle on yesterday (Wednesday) and declared the action taken on Saturday last to be null and void and ordered a new election for the -?- day of April. Full proceed---- will appear next week. ----------------------------- Date: Thu, 14 May 1998 11:36:19 -0700 (MST) From: Jeannie Dalrymple Subject: KFY: The Mercury, 1876, Nicholas Co, cont. continued: The Mercury, Thursday Feb. 10, 1876, Nicholas Co., KY NOTICES, Trespass Warning, the undersigned, having been frequently annoyed, and to some extent damaged, by parties hunting on our farms, hereby give notice that all persons who may herafter so trespass, either by hunting, riding, driving, or in any manner whatever, will certainly be prosecuted according to law.
