Meagher County Politics.

MISSOURI VALLEY, M. T., Sept. 70.
Editor of RIVER pREss
I have just returned from White Sui |
phur Spring, the warmest political spot
in Meagher county. / heard it men
toned several times that there seemed
to be more smokein the atmosphere and
o stronger smell of birthstone in that
vicinity since the adjournment of the
democratic and republican conventions
than ever was known before. Pehapsit
all came from the smudges that was
| used to keep out West side delegates
from the caucuses which was held prior
to the meeting OF the convention. Sew
eral OF the delegates from the West side
concluded, before retiring for the night,
that they would see if their horses were
| properly cared for at a livery stable in
town. They were met at side door and
promptly told by a boss Sleeper to retire,
| which meant that our stock was all right
| and that we would Ire well provided for
on the next day.
| The convention was called to order at
2 o'clock p. m., on Saturday, Sept. 9th.
THE names of J. v. Stafford and A. Il.
Pound were placed in nomination for
temporary chairman. Mr.. Stafford re-
seived fifteen votes and Mr. Pounds
ltwenty-one votes. This was purely a
sectional vote, and all through the con-
| Vention reminded me Of the fighting
fifteen puzzle. It was no case of sell out
/ but clear ascot swapping for mess
of pottage similar TO that of Esau Of old,
and of which they seem to be true lineal
descendants. The nominees of the DEM
ocratic convention were quite q surprise
to most outsiders. With one or two ex-
i Ieeptions their ticket is made up from
the new crop of residents of the county,
land as much might be said Of the repub-
lican convention. However the names
of the political aapirants are ali in the
| field, and the poor voter will soon be
! treated again and again to no common
picnic.
| Twenty years ago to-day landed at
zsannack City Among my acquaintan-
oes in Meagher county who were there
al that time are James McCabe, Gran
vile Stuart, James Fergus and David
Folsom. Mr.. Folsoan was elected two
years ago to the office of county surveyor
/ by handsome majority. Folsom was
the choice Of the convention for treas
urer Mr.. Stuart's name is before the
people as their representative in terri
torial council. We predict for them a
round majority. They are trustworthy
reliable, capable and worthy of any posi-
ton we can give ahem. James Fergus
would have been the unanimous choice
of the republican convention had not his
name been Withdrawn on account of
falling health.
/ We are sorry to learn Of the failing
health Of the old gentleman who cast
his lot among us SO many years ago.
The Springs has the name of running
both conventions. In our next we may
have something more to say about the

On DTTs.-lt is currently reported
that Mr.. Maurice Grausman, will be a
Republican candidate for the clerkship
of Wake Superior Court, the position
now held by Judge of Probate Chas.
ID. Upchurch. As the Republicans have
a majority in Wake county, the nomi-
nation would be equivalent to election.
1t is generally understood that
Thomas P. Devereux, Esq, county So
licitor, has avowed himself in sympathy
with the Liberal movement in North
Carolina his disaffection from the
Democracy dating about the time OF
the Prohibition fiasco.

1t IS a great mistake to take ner.
