This is long list of names. but it took
the Prohibition county convention but
one brief day to select them. The adj
vantage the cold water apostles have is
there is no ''lust for office" in their
ranks, and they can quietly go to work
and select the fittest men without any
embarrassing clash of ambitions.
The convention was held yesterday
morning at Plummer hall. and about
fourscOre delegates, including enough
ladies to give color and brilliancy to
the occasion, transacted the business
The routine work was very short and
the candidates were secured in short
order. DR.. Lyman W. Denton, the
chairman, called the meeting to order,
and Rev: David Tice, addressed
a supplication to the throne
of grace. Then j. T. James, of
Excelsior, was elected chairman
and M. Whitney secretary. A commit
tee on credentials was appointed, but
the sense of the convention seemed to
be against a platform, until DR.. Denton
made speech and urged the forming
of a ringing platform. The event of the
convention occurred in the absence of
the committee on credentials. Some one
wanted the public heart fired out.
Rev. Tice was called out. In the
course of his remarks he touched upon
the speech of DR.. Brooks, which seems
to be giving the little journal so much
trouble, and said it was a Burchard ut
terance. While he was talking, Brothers
Denton and Satterlee sat upon springs,
and the moment he concluded they
Both of them roasted DR.. flee
and defended Brooks in eloquent
terms, but DR.. Tice wanted to reply,
and row seemed imminent, but At
torney Getty had humorous speech
ready, In which he apOlogized for once
having been Democrat and then Re-
publican. Good humOr and harmony
having been restored, the committee on
credentials reported, and the conven-
ton went to work. 1t was growing
toward the noon hour by this time
and after George Harrison had been
nominated for treasurer. A. P. Peter
son for auditor and G. II. Durren for
sheriff, the convention took recess.
Upon reassembling, Harrison declined
and r. ii. Hasty was named. The work
of completing the ticket went on rapidly
and was completed as above. The
nomination of surveyor was referred
to the county committee and the infer
ence is that no one knew surveyor
who was Prohibitionist.
The resolutions adopted were as
strong as usual. One in particular rec
commended that every county officer
cover back into the treasury all fees in
excess of $4,000 per year. The only
plank that attracted comment was one
which advised all Republicans that it
was useless to attempt to carry Mime
sofa for Ben Harrison and they had bet
ter join the third party in driving out
the Democrats. This was considered a
little radical and was taken out.
