MAKING
The Republican Masses In Con.
ventiOn.

The Republicans were in onven
ton at the Exposition, to-day, and at
noon a lively contest was in progress
between the Hon. Ed. Shaw and two
or three persons representing the Fed
eral office -holding wing Of the same
political brotherhood. 1t seemed to
bea fight between the masses Of voters
on the Republican side and the Office.
holding element Of the same.
1t was eleven o'clock when Chair
man ThoS. A. Hamilton, Of the Ex-
ecutive Committee, called the conven-
tion to order. Mr.. H. N. Rankin
was chosen Chairman, and a commit
tee of nine was selected to make
up a list Of candidates for county Of
fees for the ensuing fall canvas. While
tho committee were out for consulta-
ton, Mr.. Froman made a speech, and
was followed by Mr.. Ed Shaw in a
characteristic argument. The latter
was greatly disturbed by frequent
Interruptions from Carter Harris and
MIR. Trowbridge, men whose names
appear attacked to a card urging the
Republicans to ignore the meeting as
irregular, by staying away from it.
They advised their followers to have
nothing to do with the meeting, yet
appeared there themselves as boss
howlers, grumblers and general in.
%surrection brewers.
Shaw's voice was raised above the
dir of discordant tones emitted by
Trowbridge, Harris and company,
and he gave a succinct view Of the
causes which brought about the dIviS-
ion in Republican ranks. At times
Trowbridge and Harris succeeded in
checking the speaker, and then howls
and queries getting the best of the
situation for the moment, then again
Shaw would 20 in and make himself
heard despite their strenuous efforts to
drown him out.
During the progress OF the Shaw
speech Chairman Rankin interposed
his authority and raped the top Of a
table on the stage with a club to
squelch the riotous tongues Of Trow-
bridge and Harris. The disturberS,
however, declined to let themselves
be silenced.
