Nominations were then declared in
order and S. J..Stewarta and w. A. Ross
We're nominated for Representative
and the roll was called resulting in 81
votes for Stewart and 16 for Ross. On
motion of Mr.. Ross the nomination of
Mr.. Stewart was made unanimous.
w. G. Allison was then nominated
for Probate Judge, and there being no
other nominations he was declared the
nominee by acclamation-the fifth
time, we believe, that he has received
that honor. For District Clerk, w.
H. Evans and NJ. P. Jacoby were put
in nomination. Mr.. Jacoby came off
victor by a vote of 81 to %. J. +.
Henderson, H. b. Adams, James
Wakefield and n. r. Daughters were
then placed in nomination for County
Superintendent. The first ballot re-
suited as follows: Henderson %,
Adams II, Wakefield 6, Daughters 10.
On the second ballot the vote stood,
Henderson 80, Adams II, Wakefield 6,
Daughters 8; thus making Henderson
the nominee. George A. Amos was
then nominated for County Attorney
by reclamation, there being no other
candidates. Geo. w. Moon was also
nominated by the first district as their
candidate for County Commissioner,
without opposition.
The business of the convention hay
ing been transacted, each of the sue
cessful candidates was called OH for a
speech. All responded with short adj
dresses, and after a session of less than
two hours, the convention adjourned
sine die.
Never in our recollection has Allen
county had so entirely harmonious
a convention. Not bitter word was
spoken, no hard feeling of any kind
was apparent, and there was no sign
or whisper of any ''despicable combi-
nation" So far as appeared on the
surface, the ticket nominated last Sat-
urday is clearly the choice of major
ity of the republicans of the county.
1t is little remarkable to notice, too,
that there is only one new man on the
ticket. With the exception OF MIR. JacO-
by the present incumbent was renom-
mated for the office which he now fills.
The ticket is strong one and deserves,
as we earnestly hope it will command,
the hearty support of every republic
can. There is no possible excuse for a
kick on the part of anybody, and we
hope that all will go to work deter
mined that for once, at least, Allen
county republicans shall elect their
county officers with the majority they
deserve.
