pie was declared the nominee by ac-
clamation.
Here they found they had forgotten
something, and the motion was re-
considered until Mr.. Temple could APP
pear and pledge himself to the sup
port of the ticket. Mr.. Temple was
sent for, and the order of business was
taken up.

mas of Compton; J. d, Bird of Ana

Judge Holloway and Mr.. Smart
made touching appeals to the Conven-
tion in favor of T. II. Boyd, claiming

tos section.

himself to support the ticket. The
motion declaring him unanimously

Stump and r. j. Floyd were also NOM
mated.
GETTING NERVOUS.
Mr.. Tonner drove a spike into his
nomination by saying that thus far
but one Independent Democrat had
been placed on the ticket. He had no
hopes that Republican ticket could
be elected if nominated by this Con-
vention. The members were evidently
growing nervous; things Were going
too much their own way, and they had
a faint suspicion that they had put
their foot in it.
MR.. HAZARD
Here appeared upon the scene, and
proposed that the nominations for AS
be rescinded and new
ballot taken, 50 thata Democrat and Il
Republican might be placed together
at the head of the ticket.
Mr.. Bailey, the other candidate, did
not seem to indorse this plan. He
had secured his nomination, and had
evidently come to stay.
The question was quietly shifted to
q more convenient season.
The balloting was then proceeded
with, resulting us follows:
WaldfOn....... .
Fryer was declared the nominee.
TAX COLLECTOR.
The nominations were j. Q. A.
Stanley and Horace Burdick.

FOR DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
Major E. M. Ross was the only cam
didate placed in nomination. After
they had elected him unanimously,
the Convention once more found out
that they had forgotten something.
The Major was undoubtedly their cam
didate, but they had neglected the
fri vic apali lif,li inc l,n If irt In iS
consent to run on the ticket and his
endorsement of the Convention. A
messenger was at once dispatched to
bring the gentleman up and find out
about these things.
While this was pending, the Con-
vention proceeded to the nomination
of
AUDITOR.
Mr.. Frank Sabichi was the only cam
didate. He took but half the Conven-
tional pill, when brought up to face
the medical Chairman. He could not
pledge himself to the support of the
Independent State ticket; in fact, he
was committed to the Democracy, but
otherwise "Barkis was willin'." He
would do all be could for the county
nominees. This was considered
pretty good for an Independent, and
Mr.. Sabichi was unanimously elected
as the candidate for Auditor.
AN EPISODE.
Major Ross appeared summoned,
like Cineinnatus, into distinction
without moments warning. The
Major, for once, was taken by sur
prise and non-plussed. He, however,
listened to the formidable resolution
of allegiance. When it came the
proper moment for nice little speech
