The convention nnA the Ticket.


= The Republican County Convention, ON Tues
day, was fully attended, and was probably the
most exciting political Convention ever held IN the
County. The main contest was for County treas
urer, and the organization hinged upon that Office
The primary elections throughout the entire
County had been controlled by that one issue, and
when the Convention met, the vote was found to
be very close 1t was past the middle of the af
ternoon before permanent organization was
effected. Finally the TRACY party carried the
day, and the Convention went to work. Mr.
CANPBELL's name was not presented to the Con-
vention, although he had been party to the con-
test in the primary elections. 1t was evident that
TRACY had the advantage, and the opposition
concentrated upon Mr.. MCCRUM, of Doniphan, in
hopes of securing several votes that were favor
able to TRACY. But the arrangement faoed, and
TRACY was nominated ON the first ballot. All the
other nominations were made upon the first bal
lot, except Sheriff, which was decided upon the
second ballot After the Treasurer was disposed
of, business progressed rapidly, and by night the
work of the Convention was completed. The can
didates for Commissioner were selected by the
Delegates Of the several Districts respectively, a
ter the Convention adjourned.
ROBERT TRACY, the candidate for Treasurer, Is
well known throughout the County. He has been
deputy in the Treasurers Office for several years.
and is probably better acquainted with the bust
ness and routine of the Office than any other man
in the County. This is his first trial for public
Office in the County.
SAMUEL MAQUILKEN has been a citizen Of White
Cloud for more than fourteen years past, except
during the time he served in the army. He has
never before sought any public Office; but he is
well qualified for the Office. Mr.. CAMPBELL never
held Office until he was elected Sheriff. and he has
made the best Sheriff Doniphan County ever had
We think MAQu1LKEN will fill the bill with equal
satisfaction.
CHARkEs RAPPELYE, the nominee for County
Clerk, filled the position for four years, and was
afterwards County Treasurer for two years. He
filed the Office to the satisfaction of all, and is
known by almost everybody in the County to be
honest and capable.
DUNCAN McINTOsH is again the nominee for
Register of Deeds, which Office he has held for the
past six years. He makes No. Recorder, and
it seems to be the wish of the people to keep him
in the Office as long as be desire it. He u wOr-
thy Of the place.
HENRY WILSON, the candidate for County Sur
veyor, has held the Office for large portion of the
time during the past dozen ycars, and b known
by everybody to he well qualified for the place.
THOMAS HOLLAND, the candidate for Coroner,
h q new man to ms, but we have no doubt he is
the right kind of man for the place.
The nominees for Commissioner, JOHN L.
BlAIR, JOSEPH RANDOLPH, and HENRY STEELE,
wepe selected by those immediately acquainted
with them, and are doubtless all men well fitted
f.,~ Nr l~~
- he is at present Commissioner.
Such is the ticket presented to the Republicansof
Doniphan County for their votes 1t is to be hop.
ed faat The iftie chickering's and unplcasantnesses
asiaing out Of the canvass will be forgotten, and
that the ticket will receive hearty and united |
faFpcrt-such as would have hsen expected of tho |
friends of the successful candidates. had their sp-
ponents received the nominations. 7
