Langnorna. our present Probate Judge and
candi late for reelection, made his maiden
effort OH the stump. but every one who heard

party is well represented by him. Willow
Creek will vote almost unanimously for the
retention Of the Judge in his present position
Col. r. P. Vivion, Democratic nominee for
District Attorney, followed Judge Lang

ration, exposed the secret history of the Peo-
pies Ticket, from its inception in the brain
of few disappointed office.seekers, to the
elimination in the meeting at Central Park,

At the conclusion Of his remarks the meet
ing adjourned.
Ats O'Clock to night (Tuesday). pursuant
to notice, the people of Gallatin City were
addressed at length by Messrs Beck. Lang
horne and Vivlon, and the dry bones of the
pseudo Peoples Convention received a
thorough shaking up at the hands of the
speakers.
The principal plea of the candidates on
the bogus Peopls ticket is founded on that
sentence in the call for their convention.
which says: LET the Office seek the man.
and not the man the Office This received
the especial attention of the speakers, who,
by facts which cannot be controyerted, show
ed the holloWness and insincerity of Messrs.
Clarke, Mcguire & Davis, who, even while
penning the sentence to tickle the ribs of
the dear people. We're announced candidates
for the nominations they have since secured
Certainly in their cases, as also in those of
of Messrs. Wakefield and Bowen, the nomi-
nations did not come to them unsought, but
were the result of earnest elecIioneering on
their part.
THAT the pseudo Peoples Convention has
disappointed the expectations of the honest
voters who expected SO much from it, is uni
yersaily acknowledged, and the majority OF
the leading Republicans have since repud;at-
ed the movement = fraud hatehed up Dy a
few disappointed Office seekers, who, despair
ing of ever attaining the goal OF their ambi-
Iion in their own party, caiOled the Chairman
OF the Republican Central Committee into
withholding -he call for Republican conven-
tion, and acting with them in deIuding the
people into the idea that they were diseoun-
tenanced by their own party and politically
outcasts, and were the sole exponents of pu-
rity and virtue in political matters. But,
alas, for their expectations, they are doomed
to receive the stamp OF popular disapproyal,
and once again they win realize to their sor-
row that s.tlte best laid plans o. mice and
men gang aft a-glee, and Whea the evening
shadows OF the first Monday liz August en-
velop the earth In darkness, they will realize
that the honest voters Of Gallafin County
cannot be gulled BY the ciap-frap OF
those gentlemen who arrogate TO them
selves claims for which they have not the
slightest foundation in fact.
