Field That Commands Itself
to the People.
The peoples convention assembled
at Scholz's hall last night, and none
but delegates and members of the
press were admitted.
Mr.. J. S. Carr called the convention
to order, and asked for nominations for
chairman. J. II. Hambleton. G.. W..
Russ, J. H. James and n. O. Green
were nominated and General Russ
was elected.
General Russ asked to be excused
as he had just left sick room. j. II.
James was then elected but disap-
peared suddenly, and a committee to
escort him to the chair failed to find
hin.
Mr.. Lockwood then made J. s. Carr
permanent chairman, but the chair
man ruled the matter out of order.
Then n. O. Green was elected chair
man, and took his seat.

made secretaries. p. w. Street was
added to the number.

ed, and arrangements made that each

votes, the convention settled down to
business.

Noonan for district judge, and he went
through with a whOOp.
George Paschal was then nominated
and went through, but &. w. Ogden
was evidently the choice of the con-
ventiOn. There was, however, a doubt
if he would run. Ed. Haltom was pnt
up, but only to be knocked down by a
Paschal majority.

trict clerk, so was George r. Dashiell.

nominated. Shields wouldn't accept
the nomination, and Altgelt was hon
