ELMER ". HERDIC
We announced in our last issue that
Elmer w. Herdic, a brakeman on the
Milwaukee road, had been killed near
Parker, Dakota. His father, on re-
ceiving the sad intelligence, went at
once to Parker and brought the re-
mains to Worthington, where they
were buried in the Worthington
Cemetery on Thursday evening last.
From Mr.. II. we learn the fol-
lowing facts concerning the death of
his son:
The accident occurred between Par
ker and Marion Junction between 3
and 4 O'Clock Wednesday morning, Oct.
18th. Young Herdic was passing from
the cars to the tender, and by slip or
mIsstep fell back between the first
car and the tender One Car passed
over both legs diagonally and over the
right arm crushing the limbs. He was
taken up and brought back to Parker
where everything possible was done to
alleviate his sufferings. He died about
n:40 a. IN. on "Wednesday. Mr.. He.-
die was profoundly gratltied at the ten
der care shown 10y the railroad men
and the citizens of Pal ker.
Elmer w. Herdic was 10 years and 10
months old and was one of the most
active ard promising young men on tie
line. He was All only child and his
death leaves Mr. Herdic desoate.

SEVENTH BALLOT.


And W. w Grout was declared to be the NOM
inee of the convention. The announcement of
the result of the various ballots was received
with applause by the friends of the different
candidates whenever their favorite was shown
to have made gain and the final ballot caused
great rejoicing among the delegates from
Orleans, Essex and Caledonia counties. DR..
W. A. Jones moved, and j. L. Martin seconded
the motion, that the nomination be made unan-
imous The motion was carried. Roswell
Farnham of Bradford nominated for presiden-
tial elector Z. c. Redington of that town, and
he was chosen by acclamation. The committee
on resolutions reported AS follows
Resoired That we hereby indorse the nomination OF
James a. blaine ana oohn a. Logan lSr S and
republican eonyenton. .. Att. -
united support and that we viii do the best we can in
giving II an Od-tme majority.
Resolred That we pledge our united support TO the
candidate this day nominated for congress"
After adjournment, General Grout briefly
addressed the delegates from the Pavilion
piazza, thanking them for the honor conferred,
and exhorting all to vote for Blaine and Logan.
With three cheers for the nominee the proceed
ings, formal and otherwise, ended, and the
delegates took their departure by the extra
trains, which had been awaiting their con-
venience.
THERE was a large number of young men in
the convention.
The press was well represented, the New
York Times reporter occupying his usual prom
inent position.
ST. JoHNsBURY caucus methods were not
popular at the convention, and no striped bal
lots were used.
THE method of balloting by counties was
expeditions and satisfactory. 1t shonld be re-
membered hereafter
THE friends of the candidates Wed with
each other in their demonstrations of applause.
1t was Chicago in miniature.
THE speeches averaged better than usual,
although, rs one orator said no candidate was
damned with faint praise"
Hon KITrREDGE HAsKINs has been an eff
cient chairman Of the district committee, and
he will be missed from that body.
AN examination OF the second and fourth
ballots shows rather plainly In whose interest
the extra votes on the third ballot were cast.
THE district committee showed good judg-
ment in selecting president of the convention.
MIR. Camp made an excellent presiding officer.
WAS it d. NJ. Camp, the editor Of the E1-
press and from Orleans county, which bolted
Judge Poland, who deprecated boiling in his
opening speech?
Two years ago, when General Grout was de-
feated, his supporters left the hall after the
ballot was announced and refused to make the
