We u
I. is fac, known to but very few per.
sons, but is fact nevertheless. that the
great Democratic party Of Doniphan
County met in Convention. at Troy. on
Saturday last. and nominated the follow.
ing ticket:
State Senotors-M-j. Daniel vsoder.
slice. Of Iowa Township, and Mr.. Stout,
of Washington.
Prosos Judge-Dr. b. w. Hodn.ll.
Of Wayne.
County Aaorney-Alfred ssxsy. Of
Centre.
Superintendent of Public hstruetion-
Mr.. Sesrcy. Of Washington.
Clerk of District Court be sup.
supplied. when timber is found.
This ticket is composed Of very ancient
old gentlemen, OF both sexes, tidnS Of
whom have been dead over twenty five
years. ALI were Pro- Slavery men Of the
old red sandstone period-all except the
gsy and festive Ssxey. who had not yet
escaped from the realms where the term
sealing" is applied to an operation for
which outside bsrbarisns have . more
expressive. il less refined. name.
1t would naturally seem to an outsider.
that party Of such microscopic dimen'
sions as the Doniphan County Democra-
cy could not sfford to split-but it has.
The larger and more active portion Of the
party, under the lead of Col. A. G. Ege.
have sworn the oath of the "Supreme
Vendetta" against the Atchison County
Dem ocrscy. whom they accuse. and just
ly. of wanting to run tie machine. to
gobbls up the good Offices. and to lord i,
over their rustic brethren Of the outlying
provinces. The Wayne Township De.
mocrscy rather side with Atchison. and
kick against e. se's management. So The
party splits-snd split in the Doniphau
County Democracy is about the same as
split hair.
A Democratic Judicial Convention
has been called somewhere ont on the U
P. R, R., G. B.. for the purpose OF nom
mating Clicks partner, Otis, for ths
Judgeship of this Judicial District. The
Wayne Township Democracy will prob
ably 60 into that Convention; but ths
party organization in the County, undel
the direction Of Ege. have repudi.tei it
and nominated Col. D. NJ Johnston. o.
Troy. { 06a l4sl. o. S. as their can
didate for Judge. In the Convention. or
Saturday, Ege offered q resolution decla
ring non-intercourse with the Atchisor
County Democracy. and pledgiDg sup.
port to Johnston for Judge. This brought
out Col. Tennent, who has been waiting
for 10! these many years, like good old
Simeon. for . sacred object to "nuss. u
and then dis-tbat object being the res
urrected Democratic party of Douiphan
County. The Colonel said the purpose
of the Convention was supposed to BE-
"to conglomerate and sgglomerate. bu,
the effect of that resolution would be to
dissever." This should have brought
any reasonable body of men to their sen.
ses. but it didn't this one. Egs's rsso.
luton passed. and the Atchison County
Democracy stand repudisted.
We once knew an old fellow who i'm.
agined that be had discovered a plan to
construct perpetual motion. His grand.
son made sport Of the idea. which so en-
ragged the old codser. that be straightway
made q will. cutting of the grandson
from any portion Of the fortune hich be
intended to realize from bis invention.
The Democracy Of Doniphsn County.
and of Kansas generally. are very much
like that old man. They are worrying
and fussing over Offices which sre ss fer
beyond their reach ss ths fortune to be
derived from the contemplated perpetual
motion.
