Side was entitled to the nomination, but this
was time when locality should be least CON.

port anybody on the Democratic ticket. .

pared a resolution requesting the Delegate to
Congress to work for the restoration to the
public domain Of ali forfeited railroad lands,
but after hearing from the Helena gentlemen
about the many Northern Pacific votes, he
weake ened and dropped his resolution into
oblivion. s,, aat 4s sts5 ig sftE.a aza ysIsr
Bob Humber would have much preferred
the nomination for the Sheriffalty, but he
really seems to think he will be elected Treas
urer.
Addison Smith couldn't convince anybody
that the Coroner's position was step to the
sheriffalty and SO it went begging.
There were two or three Delegates in the
Convention who badly needed suppressing.
The managers were kept busy holding them
