officials OF every grade.
On motion to adopt this report, as torn
was raised that wellnigh broke up the Con VEN
tion. Amid noise and confusion Mr.. Hay don
gained the floor.
He thought the people came here TO NOM
mate Ticket, and not to lrraign the Repub-
lican party. He opposed the adoption Of the
resolutions. He was thorough going Repub-
hcan, and as such. proposed to going through
this campaign. They had q good ticket in the
field, and he saw no reason for Republicans to
oppose it.
Mr.. HendryI thought the Grange was organ
lied for the purposes OF putting down corrup-
ton, and bresk king up the dominant party, and
bring to the front new men on 0 different
basis. He 80 understood it, and 30 SAID the
State Grand Master, and 30 said Mr.. j. j.
Woodman who organized the Grange 10 which
the speaker belonged.
Mr.. Harrison thought we had come here
with common purpose; that we had not
come here to arraign the one party or the
other that il we had nothing better TO offer,
we would have our farms stolen from under
us. He thought the resolution was lndiscreet
that we had work enough 10 do to route that
ring from the Court House that the Conven-
ton had not better pass the resolutions that
two years hence we could work together better;
he hoped no one would attempt to break up
this Convention we should go to the people
without any principles, bat drub out the
county officials, and let the future take care Of
itself.
j. R. Monroe thought Il the people had
come here for no better purpose than to crim-
mate and re-criminate, 1t would have been bet
ter to have remained at home.
MIR y. H. Bangs moved that ,he whole mat,
ter Of resolutions and platform be indefinitely
postponed.
Mr.. Hendryx opposed the motion. He came
here to rebuke Ulysses S. Grant and all Repub-
lican ofice-hQlders down to Pound-master, and
If you do not do it you can't succeed, for no
Democrat will be satisfied with anything short
OF that.
Mr.. Durkee said II this convention nominated
ticket that favored Chandler he was ont He
did not come here 20 help few sore-heads that
had failed to get nominations in tho RepublI-
can convention. or to help somebody that had
dabbled in Tax Titles and got their fingers
burnt punish the County officials. He didn't
care a cent more for Sam Hones or tho dealers
In Tax Titles than he did for any other thief,
and they mustn't ask him TO take part in tier
personal quarrel. A new party must be started,
and the Democrats will help set Il ago,ne, other
wise they will let you alone.
The resolution was then adopted.
Mr.. Hayden then offered the following
"REsoIvED. That the Democratic party 10
unworthy the confidence and support OF the
people,"
And supported the same 10 br.af speech
and amid the greatest confusion and uproar.-
About dozen speakers vocifer&ted but not TO
be understood.
The Chairman hoped they would divide some
where on the resolution, but the confusion in
creased and after great eforts to make him
self understood announced that tho resolution
was adopted.
The confusion gradually suoslded 80 thata
person OF strong lungs could be heard when
some one moved that all resolutions passed by
this meeting be reconsidered, which motion
prevailed and on like motion we're laid on.the
table.
Pending this motion, Mr.. Hayden SAID he
came here TO put peoples ticket III tho field,
but this appeared to be Democratic concern.
and as such he would not swallow Il.
The motion for the appointment OF COM
mittee to confer with the Democratic oonven-
-
At this stage great confusion prevailed, aud
the meeting was about TO disband, when it
was discovered that most of the Democrats
had already led the way out. A motion was
made that the meeting proceed TO nominate
ticket,
G. d. Boyce was declared nominated for
Sheriff, after three ballotings and ffty-fve
votes out of one hundred and twepty-one.
William Kilheffer was nominated for County
Clerk, aud Arthur Hayden for Register Of
! Deeds. Mr.. Hayden declined tho proffs fsxed
honor whereupon the meeting proceeded to
nominate him over again. Mr.. Haydon shen
positively declined to accept any domination
at the hands Of the meeting.
