DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Another Victory for the Family
Ring.
Slaughter OF Innocent Country
men.
TAou Shalt Hane No othsr Gods.

Thou Shalt Haue No Other Gods.
On Saturday the Democrats of Gal
liza county met in Convention, and
danced to the tune of the Bulletin
accidental congressman caucus OF the
previous evening. The potion was
mixed and the masses swallowed it.
Democrats were thinking, but were
whipped into the traces. and ticket
was nominated which it will be poe
try to beat and bury in October.
During the forenoon it was strong
ly talked that DIR. w. F. HANNAH
would be nominated for Representa-
tive; but that wouldn't do, there must
be no other gods than the ones suita-
BILE to the VANCE Bulletin circle. The
DR.. must be choked off and his friends
remain satisfied. He must be tenn
porary chairman and be nominated
for Commissioner, both of which
1
were accordingly done.
When the Convention was called
to order the automatons arose and
made their motions, and the Secre-
tary of the body named the commit
tees from a paper which had been
prepared beforehand. One delegate
muddled his motion and was com
PEELED to s'refer to his notes" After
dinner the mustang of the Bulletin,
with all his gush and fizzle, was made
permanent chairman, and one by one
the roses began to bloom on the
Democratic dunghill.
r. ALESHIRE was nominated for
Representative The First Ward is
going to fail to beat STONE again.
Mr.. A. is a good man, and so was DR..
HANNAH. Mr.. STONE beat Mr.. ALE
SHIRE once and can do it again.
SAMUEL Robinson was nominated
for Probate Judge. A few minutes
after his nomination friend stepped
up to him and said, "Well they have
nominated you for Probate Judge"
His answer was, eyes, but it's one
thing to be nominated and another to
be elected" Mr.. r. was looking at
the matter sensibly.
HENRY C. STEEL was nominated for
Auditor over S. V. CLARK, of Clay,
a young man well educated and well
qualified. Capt. EVANS will walk
over the track with a rousing majori-
ty.
FRANK MCDANIEL was trotted out
for CHARLEY STUART to beat for Sher-
iff, and he will do it as certain as Fate.
FRANKS friends went for ALEsHIRE
and ALEsHIRE's friends scratched
FRANKS back.
jim TIProN for Treasurer by ac-
clamation, of eighty Democrats,
and WARREN MARTINDALE for Treas
urer by $500 Republicans. jim is
good fellow, but he can't finger the
public money yet. jim will be re-
membered as the man who wasn't
elected Sheriff.
STEPHEN S. JONES, of Centerville,
was nominated for Prosecuting At
torney. Now, STEPHEN is good fel-
low, we kinder love STEPHEN, but po-
litically he will not be deuce high in
this fight. We wish STEPHEN would
try and get in better company than
he.was in on Saturday.
HENRY MCGRArH was nominated
for BooToN to beat; DR.. HANNAH will
be nowhere when HUGH NIDAY un-
limbers his guns for Commissioner.
JAMES w. MADDY wants to be In
frmary Director, and DR.. JOHN T.
eating would be the Coroner if he
could get enough votes.
But the result is written in the
hearts of the voters. They know it
to be weak, patched-up-ring Bulle-
tin family ticket, and will lay it low
when opportunity comes to the sur
face. This tickle me Tommy ticket
will not go even with the Democrats,
and not a Republican deserter could
be found who will touch it. We are
fully satisfied now that our ticket
will be elected by majorities ranging
from 800 to 1000. Let it be done.
