The Republican sCouniy Con
vention was held in The Court
House. Saturday last, and was Il
tame affair.
The attendance was light and
without any enthusiasm. The
following ticket was nominated
Auditor. c. Stone.
Tr.asurer-W. W. Mcdonald.
Commissioner-Saml. ST. Clair.
Infirmary Director. Ii. Jack
son.
A resolution was passed not to
nominate a candidate for Record
er, so MIR. D. NJ. O'Hare will meet
with no opposition, only on the
Prohibition ticket.
The platform was uninspired
with anything new or original
Foraker, skin game aud all, was
endorsed. The usual bosh about
wool and laboring interests was
INDUCED in. but it all went for
naught. The same old gags have
been INDUCED in sollong that the
plates are nearly worn out. II
looks now as if the Republican
party would be completely alb
sorbed by the Prohibilonists in
this county, before the campaign
is over.
The candidates are representative
men Of their party, but they have
no element of strength, because
they are not running on the Dem
ocratic ticket. Their friends can
even now commence to gather
flowers with which 10 decorate
their politica! graves.

All the papers are noticing an
improvement in The times. Ii is
unfortunate for the Republican
politicians that this should occur
at this time. There is. a boom in
the iron business. and the glass
ware establi shments at Bellalre
are starting up. If only "hard
times" could be kept on the
boards until after the election
the Republican politicians could
point TO it as evidence that we can
not have better times until after
the election of Republican to
the Presidency.

A Peculiar Tree.

Fresno and the colonies surrounding the town are we'll supplied with beauti- full and attractive ornamental shrubbery, in addition to the endless variety of fruit trees and vines. Among the orna- mental trees is found one peculiar to this section, and at present found in no other portion of the state in any num- bers. We refer to the imported "um- brella'' tree, introduced by local nur- seryman. This tree is shaped as near like an umbrella as it is possible for a plant to come, hence it's name. There are hundreds of them in this section, all presenting most attractive appearance, and several individual specimens in this cty which are the pride of their owners. One in the dooryard of F. H. Ball is a beauty, and as a shade tree is perfection itself. It is now only 1-2 years old from the seed, is eighteen feet in height, twenty eight feet from tip to tip of its branches, and it's trunk is two feet and eight inches in circumference two feet above the ground. Its shade is as dense as jungle, not a particle of the suns rays ever reaching the ground through its foliage. (Cal.) Republican.
