bon, Thomas Clarity.
The chairman was empowered to ap-

ing year.
THE CHOICE.
The ticket, as will be seen, is made up of
endorsing the endorsements made by the
Prohibition party. This is account
ed for by the fact that a
number Of Jealous Prohibitionists had been
sent to the convention as delegates, and of
course, work their best to that end. Quite
struggle occurred in the early part of the
convention between the genuine Green
hackers and the Prohibitionists. At first,
in fact, it looked much as though the con-
vention had been irredeemably captured
by the latter. The platform of the Prohi-
bitionists was at first introduced and
stoutly sustained in lengthy speeches by
its incorporates, but the Greenback ele-
ment of the assembly proved sufficiently
strong to reject it and modify it as above
printed. Even as modified it was evidently
quite Objectionable to many members of
the convention and will probably have the
effect to ALLEVIATE many of the voters of the
party.
The county ticket is purely Prohibition,
as are G. E. Holt, for representative in the
Twenty ninth legislative district, and c.
M. Pond, for senator in the Thirtieth dis
trict.
The remainder of the ticket for the
Twenty ninth and Thirtieth Legislative
districts combines the names-of one Green
hacker, John T. Blaisdell, senator in the
Twenty ninth district,) and the endorse
ment of several Democratic and several
Republican nominees. The Democratic
endorsements are Charles NJ. Foote and
Twenty-ninth district, and w. II. Grim
shaw and Daniel Watt, in the Thirtieth
The Republican endorsements are j. A
Peterson and William Anderson in thu
Twenty ninth, and S. P. Sabon in thu
Thirtieth districts.
