THE TICKET.

A year ago the republicans OF AL
len county held harmonious con ven
ton, nominated first class ticket and
elected it from top to bottom. The
precedent thus established has bee
and will be followed this year. The
minute of the proceedings of the con-
vention held last Tuesday. as kindly
furnished by the secretary, are pub
lished elsewhere in this paper, 80 it is
not necessary to refer here to its action
in detail. Suffice it to say that it was
made up of ITO of our most substantial
and influential citizens, and was har-
monious from beginning to end.
The work of the Convention was, for
the most part, only ratification of the
choice of the people as expressed at
the primary election. Hon. E. d.
Lacy, as the first fruits of the election,
was made the nominee for Representa-
tive by the decisive vote of 81 of the
ITO delegates. Mr.. Lacy has already
served one term in the Legislature and
this endorsement, while gratifying to
him, is wisdom also on the part of the
people whose interests he will be able
to serve, by reasons Of experience, with
even more ability and success than
marked his first term.
The unanimous denomination of NJ.
P. Jacoby to the Office of Clerk of the
District Court, was of course anticipat-
ed and is but deserved tribute to an
expert official and pleasant, accom-
modating gentleman.
Judge Arnold's denomination was
also matter of course, and
was received by the delegates with
many manifestations of pleasure. 1t
may be that few democrats will vote
against Judge Arnold, but they will
do it with their eyes shut and with a
prayer for forgiveness on their lips.
Another of the unanimous nominal
tons that was received with much en-
thusiasm was that of Capt. H. A. Ew-
ing for County Attorney. This spOn-
taneous demand that Capt. Ewing be
again placed on the ticket, augurs ill,
it occurs to US, for any candidate that
may be named against him. There
will be no split tickets this year, and
there will be no mistakes. AS q re-
publican without variableness or shad-
ow Of turning, as q courteous and
manly gentleman, as an able and in
corruptible lawyer Capt. Ewing
will be elected to an Office that he
honors by accepting.
In settling the contestover the Office
of County Superintendent, the Con-
vention showed wisdom in the selec-
ton of Mr.. E. T. Barber. AS gradu-
ate of the State Normal, as q teacher
Of many years. experience, and as
young man of good judgment, good
ideas and untiring energy, Mr.. Barber
Is especially qualified to I'LL the office
for which he was nominated and to
which he will be elected.
The unanimous denomination of Mr..
81. L. Henderson as Commissioner for
the Second District, was also expected
and meets with unqualified approval.
During the past three years Mr.. Hen
derson has served the county in this
capacity with untiring zeal and faith
fulness, and the county will be fortu-
nate in again securing the advantage
of his honest service and his sound
business sense.
The action of the Convention in in
our delegates to the State
Convention to favor Hon. L. U. Hum.
phrey for Governor, was particul arly
gratifying to us. We think there is
no doubt Of Humphreys nomination
and Allen county will have the honor
of being the first county in the State
to name him ~ its candidate.

favor Of Capt. s. J. Stewart as its
preference for State Senator. practical |
