Democratic Nominations in Allen County.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
FoRT WAYNE, Ind, Sept. 4.-The Democracy
of Allen met in county convention to-day. Hon.
r. G. Bell presided. The attendance was large,
and there was much excitement apd disorder.
The following ticket was nominated: Senator,
James NJ Barrett; Representatives. w. FL. Shom-
baugh and Austin Darrah: judge Of the Superior
Court. S. NJ Hench; prosecutor, James M. Rob
nson; clerk, DR. George w. Loag; auditor, j. B.
Neizer; recorder, Milton NJ Thompson; treas
urer Isaac Mowrer; sheriff, Degroff Nelson ire
nominated by acclamaton): coroner, DIR. j. NJ.
Dinner; surveyor, G. b. Wiley.
The ticket is rot regarded by Republicans as
at all formidable. For years there has
been growing feud between the
city and the rural Democracy. In the
county, outside of Fort Wayne, 4, 100 votes were
polled for Cleveland. and in the city A, 700; yet
the county had 1913 delegates in the coE venton to
81 from the city. This outrageous state of affairs
which had its origin in sharp trick of dema-
gogy years ago, has been persstently perpet-
uated, to the increasing disgust of the city Dem
ocrats To-day the quarrel broke out afresh.
The rural delegates having carried things with
high hand, Auditor Grieoel and Clerk Maier.
though each having large following did not go
iuto the convention considering it packed
against them by the unfair preponderance of the
county delegations. The dissatisfaction among
their friends is very bitter and pronounced.
When nominations for Senator were called for,
delegate presented the name of Herman A.
coldly received, and Mr.. Barrett was imme-
diately nominated by reclamation. This the
Knights of Labor regard an insulting snub,
and will resent it accordingly In personnel the
ticket cannot be considered as at all strong or
winning one.
