called the bakers dozen to order and
asked that some one nominate a tempo
rary chairman, and r. r. McCauly was
chosen for that office and W. H. GRAY
Of the independent was made secretary.
EIr. 1lcCaulF on taking the chair said
It wa not necess. ~ 10 make u speech
and they would proceed TO business, but
1t was some time before il was fully de-
eded that the Keller had surrender
the gaVeL both he and the chairman
undertaking to run the thing. Finally
motion was made that The chair aD-
point & committee of five to meet a like
committee from the democrats. which
motion was carried although Bro Dixon
of Plumb, voted very emphaticallv no,
and said ne had stood alone before and
would do 50 again. His protest was not
needed and the Keller headed the com
mittee Of conference who repaired to the
school house The other seven getting
lonesome follower suit AID in q Few
minutes all were in the school house.
In the meantime the democrats had
organized by eleeting w. d. COvingtOn
a chairman and w. @. DonCarlos sec
rotary. A resolution was passed to
drop the delegate character of the con-
ventiOn and declare ali democrats pres
ent entitled to ieipa e, thus about
doubling the number and doing away
with a democratic lobby and giving the
Phillipsburg boys, to say the least, a fair
show, The motion of Gar VanAlleQ
to appoint a committee of ten to meet
Keller Lamb with his five was prompt
" carried and in a few moments tbs two
bosses who for years have had each 9th
er by the hair and ears were now in
each others fond embrace and the tears
shed over past fOllies and bright pros
poets are said to have been enough to
make roaring hippOpOtamus laugh
till he cried. When these demOnstra-
tons had ceased the Keller, through
sObs and tears, cried out, s'Dear
Gar, give me my little Boyd and
leave something open, and that is all
Want-bO-hOO.-' Then said the Gar,
''Brother LambY, if you will suppress
your Prohibition prOelivities and resolve
free whiskey (fOr you know how we
have it) and let US do what we please
with the r t, you shall have your little
BOydy-bO- ''That we will
do, bO-hO-hoO,'' said Keizer. s.NOw let
US 90 back TO our brethren in the other
loom and tell them how we love and do
agree and will dwell together in unity
which was done and ratified by said
brethren who proceeded to ballot for
clerk of the district Court, when the
Bs seemed to take q hand and we're in
formed by the chair that they had got
their little BOYD and the democrats
were going to attend to the balance of
the ticket, declaring the ballot void and
ordering a new ballet, which on being
taken still left suspicious III the mind of
the chair that there was some ballot hat
stufIing and ordered all democrats to
=
ballot taken and resulted in the nOmina-
ton of J. II. Sallee. 1t was evident
that while the chair could keep Keller
Lamb from voting, yet he felt himself
so nearly related to the brethren that
they could not keep him from labOring
with them. which he did with will, to
the discontinue of that faithful expo
nent of democratic ideas, 7. y dorsey.
During the time the committee were
out consulting, W. @. DOnCarlOs, A.
SJOekman and S, H. Bradley were called
on for speeches The two former made
characteristic democratic speeches while
the latter undertook the difficult task of
riding two horses in opposite directions
at the same time or in other words try
ing to water on one shoulder and whis-
kew on the other. FIe said ne was q
prOhibitionist but did not care how
much Wh1SE6y JOnn Jones sofa OF ION
Brown drank so long as he did not know
it, and he was not going to try % find it
out, and he certainly should not fnd it
out as long as he could help it but when
he was forced to prosecute he would do
so, and that his democratic friends
might rest secure in their drinking or
selling prOclVities so LONG as they did
not do the selling or drinking in his
presence; that he was not going to 60
where it was drank or sold because he
would be the first man to drink if he
did, which is no doubt true, and "pity
it's, It's true" On the whole we could
not see where Mr.. Bradley, if elected,
ROuld be much help IN the enforcement
of the laws. When the nominations
were made the Keizer issued an order
that the IS should return to court house
snd ratify what had been done, and
they Obeyed with all the alaCrity that
becomes loyal subjects. Then talk
about bOssism and bosses in the Repub-
lican party, but there was more Of 1t
exhibited in this convention than was
ever seen in a Republican convention.
We publish full proceedings as furnished
by the secretaries, and may in the future
have occasion to refer TO their platform
as adopted by the G. B. masserss
