JEFFERSON Cry, Mo, September TO-
In the Republican State Convention
yesterday the Committee on Conference
presented majority aud minority reports,
the former advising Endorsement only
and the latter the nomination OF Nicholas
Ford for Governor. The supporters OF
the majority report protested strongly
against nominating him as the candidate
OF the Repub lean party, for the reason
that Ford could not consistently accept q
nomination from party which the
Greenbackers vigorously opposed. II
had been threatened that If III. Conyen
ton Insisted upon nominating Fore
his name would be withdraw
There was u large element, however,
which, while desiring that Ford should
head the ticket, be ieved that he SHOULD
head it as a Republican, and that to dc.
part from the regular course would have
the effect OF impairing Repub icau organ
ization in the party. Several very able
speeches were made on both sides, but it
was insisted that the party should forego
its minor privileges In order to insure
great results; that the easiest way was
the best, and that the convention should
simply
lNDORSE MIR. FORD.
This argument changed Il large number
of votes, and the minority report was de-
feated by nays, APO; ayes, 81, There
was tremendous cheering, followed by
the unanimous Sdoption OF the majority
report.
The nomination of Lieutenant. Cover.
nor, State Treasurer, Auditor, Attorney
Genera and Judge of the Supreme Court
was provided for in the majority report,
the other nominations to be referred to
the State Central Committee with power
to fill vacancies.
