The Republican county convention met yes
terday morning at the old court house. Be
sides the delegates, not much of crowd col

| consequence little or no inter st was evinced.

to create enthusiasm among 'sthe honored''
even, SO very little manifestation of enthu-

Their expressions showed the GLOBES horo-
! scope of the situation in Sundays issue would

yard waiting for the hour of IL o'clock, a small
boy passed among the delegates and presented
| each one with red pamphlet advertisement of
Tarrant's settler aperient. Very suggestive of

from Grant, Belknap q Co., down to the re-
hottest man on the outskirts of the party.
The hour OF Il o'clock having arrived, some
body came to the door Of the court house and
said the funeral was ready. At this, the mourn
ful procession languidly marched up stairs and
| silently got into the court room.
