A SLIGHT BREEZE.
4 C"upie Of Notable Incidents at the
Democratic Convention Yesterday.

Democratic Convention Yesterday.
They had a regular monkey-and-
parrot time at the Democratic County
Con vention in Ketchum last evening.
N. NJ. Ruick secured Abundance on
AL. Ostner's proxy, and managed to
get in the 6eld for permanent chair
man. This raised quite a row.
Hon. Frank E. Ensign, whose white
hair glistened, took tho floor in oppo-
sition to him, and said, substantially:
"Mr. Ruick has been indicted for per.
jury, and is liable to be sued for over
10000 obtained from this county. l
do not say that these charges are true,
but do believe that proper regard
for public opinion should cause Mr..
Ruick to at least withdraw from pub
lie gaze until these charges have been
investigated"
This caused considerable excite
ment, and w. II. Watt, J. O. Swift
and others addressed Mr.. Ruick in
exceedingly uncomplimentary terms.
Mr.. Swift is even reported to have
cuffed Mr.. Ru,ck and endeavored to
induce him to fight.
Mr.. Ruick endeavored to take mat
tiers cooIly; but the atmosphere got SO
hot that he finally faced the thing out
by saying that he hoped he would not
be called upon to stand trial on these
charges before a Democratic Con-
vention.
"YoUR'E A LIAR !"
When the Hon. John NJ. Cannady
had been nominated for Recorder and
Auditor, Joe Jones, of Corral, pro-
tested, saying, sneeringly: "The
Honorable John NJ CanDady! A
very honorable gentleman he is, in.
deed! Two years ago he came before
us and pledged his word of honor
that he would not keep Republican
deputy over 80 days, and there he's
got Ike Garrett, to whom he pays
money to fight the Democratic party
"You're liar!" came frou. the rea,
Of the hall. And the audience, rec
ognizing "Uncle" Johns stentorial
=. voice, turned to see him, trembliu.
with indignation, but fastening to tn
= front Of the hall where the delegate
we're sitting.
"You're id liar" exclaine
DR.. Higgins, excitedly, shaking hi
fist at Jos. Jones.
Others spoke to the same effec
until Mr.. Cannady's voice was hear
dominating the uproar, and sayin
-. that he had continued Mr.. Garrett i
, Office because he knew that he was
thoroughly competent, honest mar
and every account would be properl
kept "Mr. Garrett would not allo'
anybody to rob the county-you ca
depend on that" concluded Mr.. Car
!. nady.
There was considerable more {
this incident, but the above will su
fee, as it will give the public an ide
. of the way things went. The TIME
: has always endeavored to suppress, I
:, much as possible, everything that We
- unfit for the family circle; and
y only publishes latter toning it dow
the above because it is, and will b
~ subjece for general comment q
over the county.
