On taking the chair Mr.. Smith address

peculiar formation of the district.
liking it to the Yankees farm that was
all length, no width and cussed stony.
By substituting the word democratic for
stony in the description of the farm it
would aptly describe the district. 1t is
an agricultural district and should have
some man to represent it who is identi-
fed with its leading interests and he
hoped the convention would select such
man.
A motion was made to proceed to
formal ballot. Arnold of Calumet, had
been coming speech which he intend
ed to shoot off whenever the occasion
would make such proceeding proper.
He was weighed down with such heavy
thoughts that he looked cross and peo-
pie were making conjectures as to wheth-
er it was his liver or bis kidneys that
were out of order. He made frequent
expeditions to an adjoining room to post
up on some point in his speech, on which
his treacherous memory did not maintain
sufficient grip. Hewas in great travail
and every one feared a premature birth
of the speech which they knew had been
iucubated. When the motion to proceed
to ballot was made Arnold arose, not
exactly to the occasion because there was
no occasion which Arnold could not
straddle without rising. He stood up but
''fond recollection" would not present q
line of his speech to view. He moved
forward tugging at the speech, but it
wouldn't come. He then sat down and
looked viciously at fly which had perch
ed on a warm spot on the ceiling, just as
if the innocent fly was responsible for the
treacherous trick his memory lad served
him. He again stood up, scratched his
left elbow and made a motion. Every
one present felt that great things had
been destroyed in their incipiency and
knew that Arnold had not done himself,
justice in the making of the motion.
On the first ballot 81. s. Rowland re-
ceived votes; Wing, 8; Turner, /; End
3; Smith, 3. There were three Smiths
in the convention and each one declined.
On the first formal ballot the secretary
reported no majority and Arnold put his
hand in his pocket with the air of man
determined to put an End to that oonven-
ton. On the ard ballot Rowland receiv-
ed Is out of 20 votes and was declared
the nominee.
Penn Proctor of The Depere News, re-
ported the resolutions. They re affirmed
