On motion the3 report was accepted and
adopted, amid the angry protests of some
delegates and of several would-be delegates
who had been "scooped out' by the Com
mittee. A victim from Grove endeavored
in vain to get in a word edgewise he was
squelched as often as he opened his mouth,
and was given to understand that he be-
longed to the lost sheep of Israel and could
not squeeze inside the fold. Fair play
wasn't any part of the programme. A
motion was made to reconsider the vote
just taken. Twelve men occupied the floor
at the same time twelve mouths were yell
ling at the Chairman; twelve pairs of arms
" ere flying wildly around through the air.
A vote being taken on the reconsideration,
the Chair declared the motion to be lost
A division was called for, but the Chair
wasn't to be budged-the "noes' had it and
he "knowed" it. The discontinued subsi-
ded into mutterings and finally comparative
quiet was secured, whereupon the Conven-
ton proceeded to ballot for candidate for
County Auditor. J. J. Dorr and Jos. Cap
ser wereappointed tellers. At this juncture
a contesting delegate from lions shores
broke out afresh, made his way to the front
and insisted that he had been swindled, but
was unceremoniously boosted to the rear.
The first ballot for Auditor stood:
| D. yossperg ............................. 40
! u. Dueber.. Observation-Disclosures. 10
Scattering .............................." l
Mr.. Vossberg was thereupon declared
elected, and accepted the nomination in a
few brief remarks. Mr.. Duebers friends
were far from satisfied with the management
of affairs, and it was stated that he would
probably run as an independent candidate.
ME-. B. Strong was unanimously nominal
ted by reclamation for Clerk of the District
Court.
Mr.. Jos. Capser, of Sank Centre, was
unanimously nominated for candidate for
State Senator. Mr.. c. returned his thanks
for the unanimity which had characterized
the action ofthe Convention; pledged him
self to do his full duty if elected, without
Partially to any locality, and said that if
the Democrats were beaten it would be by
themselves.
On motion the Chair was authorized to
appoint ten delegates to attend the State
Convention, with the power of substitution.
The Convention adjourned without know
ing who were to be these delegates. Mem
bers may be interested in learning that the
following is the list as filled out on the
Chairman's little slate:
Jos. Edelbrock, Jos. Capser, w. n.
Lamb, P. L. Gregory, VIM. Chambers, ].
P. Hammered, N. F. Barnes, J. B. Getch-
ell, r. NJ. Russell and A. Libby.
A motion by J. P. Hammered that the
Chairman Of the. Convention appoint a
County Committee, and also some individu-
al in each town to act as Chairman of such
towns local committee, created general in,
dignation and terrible uproar. Each
towns right to control Its own business
| was being trampled onl The outrage
