of the Republican convention in that county, says:
After considerable discussion the convention re
solved that it was unable to find enough suitable
Republicans who were willing to accept the empty

trct to hunt up candidates and report the same to
the convention on the 9th of October, to which day
il adjourned 1t is said that this select committee
will try to find some Democrats who are dissatisfied
and endeavor to persuade them to Join their I'M
happy ranks, and thus form mongrel ticket. Their
efforts in that direction will be futile. 1t can hardly
ard county foolish enough to catch on to sinking
boat"

and the fact that he participated freely in the out
side caucuses and afterwards sat within the railing
of the court room where the meeting was held, in
immediate contact with the delegates and Joined
held forth before the motley gathering 1t is also
reported, upon what seems to be conclusive evil
dence, that his honor gave TO David Smoot con-
siderable sum of money, openly in the convention
room for the purpose of treating the delegates with
the assurance that if that not enough he could
have more. This action on the part of his honor
created quite shock upon some of our citizens who
witnessed it, and not little comment has been
made upon the matter.
