At the request OF Captain Wymau the
Committee on Resolutions was given fnr

The order OF business was called for. bus
the chair seemed indisposed TO 20 on
until they got the report. It seemed ar
tnougn there was some hitch over it, and
tne delegates were anxious to get to work
on the nominations.
Mr. Bray urged that as the time granted
the committee was 80 indefinite it would
oe better to proceed with the regular
order. :
The chair asked Indignantly how they
were going to nominate gentlemen for Office
until they had platform for them to

Captain Wyman opened the ball BY ask
ng permission to place in nomination for

ras unnecessary to more than mention his |
anne. But it had been the habit of the |
sepublican party to miss no opportunity |
saying the best they could of their
ominees on these occasions and he wasn't /
DING to pass it by. The Captain then re. |
earsed the virtues OF his man whose prin.
pal characteristic appeared to be his
and warm-heartedness to the i
oor-excellent qualities in any citizen but |
'rtainly not traits ct character fitting q Il
IAN above all others in his party for the
sponsible position Of Sheriff. The Captain
'alized this presently and mentioned some l
inor qualifications of his candidate in.

lat office. He asked the members OF his
