The Republicans All Broke Up and
Shutting Around for Successor

The Republicans are all broke up.

The Republicans are all broke up.
1t has become necessary for them to
shuttle around for candidate for sheriff
Saturdays convention Of that party nom-
mated Mr., Hugh b. Cullen for the sacri-
flee. Mr.. Cullen didn't take to the idea.
He is, and has ever been, a stalwart Of the
first water, and one willing to hold an inn
portant office, but he was also particular
At the time OF his nomination, Mr. Gull
len was in Virginia. Yesterday Gen. W.
j. Smith, chairman Of the executive COM
mittee, received a telegram from the alb
sent candidate. Ii conveyed his thanks,
and also refusal TO make the race.
The sachems kept their own counsel,
and few there were who became aware of
the muddle. Judge J. +. Bigelow was
seen by an APPEAL reporter and was un-
able to state definitely what the outcome
would be. The judge didn't even know
who received the dispatch from Mr.. Cul-
len. He did know, though, that had Mr..
Cullen been nominated for trustee he
would have stuck and made the race.
What are you all going to do with the
dilemma?" asked The ArPEAL man of
Judge Bigelow.
81 don't know positively. We will
sent him telegram tonight asking for a
positive statement on, way or the Other"
1t is reported that overtures have been
made to Squire II. +. Cannon to accept
the candidacy thrown over by Mr. Cullen,
and II is believed he will do so.
There was also some talk TO the effect
that Mr.. A. s. Meyers, nominated for
trustee by the same party, would with
draw. This proved TO be without iounda-
ton.
DETER THAN EVER.
81 see you all have read me out Of the
party, said Col. Joseph Theirs to an Ar.
ZEAL reporter, yesterday.
You must be mistaken; this is no year
TO read men out OF the party, and THE Ar
PEAL has not the desire or authority to do
SO, was the answer made.
That's the way il looks to me, anyhow,
but you're all wrong. ] am q better Dem
ocrat than ever. | have too many political
debts TO pay TO get out, Just yet, even
though wanted 10 do so ut all. Because
/ sit down and talk to members Of the Re
publican party who are personally my
friends, does not signify that am OF their
political faith. The trouble in shelby
county is this There are about half u
dozen men here who set themselves up ~
lords or bosses Of the party, and il you DO
not do 10 suit them you cannot be Dem.
ocrat. Well, ! belong to no man, will not
move according TO their bidding, but am q
Democrat all the same"
