! enc half a vote. Carried.
Mr.. Vickers moved that dele
gates be announced by the "liv

half afraid convention blanched
as though ghost might appear
and again oppressive silence
scanned to have a throat hold on
the meeting. "a

ar. Saln-l want to inquire
who were appointed delegates
by the Central Committee?--
(This inquiry shows that Bro

mel supplement, or he would
have known, the names having
been published in some of oul
best loaned type, last week.)
Vickers-That question is out
of order. l don't want TO know
anything a; out it.
Then Sain. who netted nothing
bv this dip, subsided.
The chair said the question is
out of order.
Then Vickers, striking an at
titude, straddling the aisle, and
with one foot resting on a chair,
and half crouching, said"
nominate the following delegates
M. d. Moore, Ned McManigal.
Il. S. Culver, and Charles Wolf.
Vickers had evidently got a
wrong name in his ''livins voice, u
as will be seen later.
Buster Bowlby, who had play
ed second fid.ile. rose and an
nounced the following names =
Eli West, Newt Coli s, Sam st.
Clair and l.. d. Vickers.
WHERE TIE JOKE APPEARS.
A call was made on The secre-
tary to read the list OF f delegates
announced. Ned was working
smooth in harness: and had his
list evidently prepared before
the convention met, and read the
names, substituting the name of
Chas. Bowlby instead of Chas.
Wolf.
Vickers looked troubled. and
came back to the rear of the
room and counseletl with barley
Moore, who stood in last year
with AL Brooke and helped make
a delegation by the committee.
Vic. was evidently waiting to gel
a pointer. He had voted the
Democratic ticket last spring,
and his miss of Charley Bowlby's
name as per program made him
uneasy, lest he was losing his re :
publican art at juggling a con
vention.
Tom Johnston rose and inquir-
ed if the delegation was instruct
ed. Tom evidently had not seen
the program.
THE DOODLE SPECTRE
Ras Van Horn-I move the
delegation be instructed for Fer
aker. We don't know how these
delegates will vote. THEY MAY
SELL OUT TO ANYBODY.
Vickers here made a speech
instruction, and on a
vote being taken, three were cast
in favor of instruction and five
against. So the delegation is moi
for Foraker, and the apprehen-
sion Of Van Horn that s'they may
sell out" is not renewed:
The convention, then adjourn

The noted feature of the con-
Tention was the conspicuous alb
Ience of the wheel horses. A
'astardy suit in progress in the
court house had evidently much

The convention was fizzle.-i
Brooke holds control and his del
gates will be recognized by the
Slate Convention.
