of the people, and in whose hands the high
and important public trusts repo o.ed in the
executive will be administered equltably and
intelligently for the benefit of all the people
county believe that Hon. Albert Scheffer is
man whose record for honesty, integrity, in
dependence and h-mindedness is so
well established that even the over
farming element of this state, Z wiz
whose demands for relief we heartily sympa
thize, find Ill him the true champion Of their
special interests; man whose views on the
all-absorbing uestion of tariff reform, on
railroad and other monopolies, as well as on
the question OF securing 10 labor its just dues,
are so much in accord with the true pr1ncl-
pies of Democracy, would lead our party to
victory In the coming contest
This being true, we believe that the NOM
ination of Hon. Albert Scheffer by our party
would result in the triumph of Democratic
principles in this state and give US assured
victory in the nation.
We, therefore, recommend him to our state
convention for its nomination as governor,
and herewith instruct our delegation to that
convention to use all honorable means to Sc
cure that result.
In presenting the resolutions Mr..
Lienau said that the committee had
deemed it wise. in the matter of select
ing a candidate for governor, to join
hands with the Farmers alliance, who
had already Endorsed the
CANDIDACY OF ALBERT SCHEFFER.
He believed that with Mr.. Schetfer'S
name on the ticket the Democracy could
be successful in the county election.
G. d. O'Brien was of the opinion that
the welfare of the county could
port of the resolutions. Mr.. Schef-
fer's name was a household word
in every home in the state. What was
wanted was man of character, and one
who would represent the Democracy.
He thought Mr.. Scheffer would prove
an efficient and faithful servant, and
also that if nominated he would be
elected.
John Fl. Ives said that notwithstand-
ing Mr.. Scheffer had been men,
toned as a candidate for governor by
the Republican party, he believed the
convention did well in presenting his
name name for the consideration of the
Democracy. Gresham failed to receive
the nomination for the presidency at
Chicago. Why? Because he was too
good man. For the same reason Mr..
Scheffer would fail to receive the Re
publican nomination for governor. He
was heartily in sympathy with the ac
ton of the convention.
Everything went along swimmingly,
up to this time, and it looked as if.
the proceedings of the convention
were not going to be marred
by single dissenting voice.
No sooner had Mr.. Ives seated himself
and said Its strange thing if we can
not find an honest man in the Demo
cratic party without going to the Repub-
llcan party to find one" Mr.. FttZ-
gerald was alone in his sentiments, and
the remainder of the delegates looked al
him as if he was
A SPIRIT FROM ANOTHER WORLD.
When the motion by which the reso-
lutions were adopted was put Mr.. Fitz-
gerald dissented in a firm and loud NO"
CONVENTION NOTES. :
Pat Conley, when not engaged in
pulling the wires, was telling the story
of his trip to the Pacific.
Pat Egan, who has been attending
conventions ever since the time of the
flood, had a front seat, and was ready
and willing to crate on the slightest
provocation.
Dick O'COnnor was conspicuous by
his absence, but Dan was there and
held up his end.
Some of the relics of the late Prohibi-
ton convention were conspicuous On
the walls of the convention hall.
P. L. Kavanagh and Johnny Pewters
were observed to shake hands under the
motto: "Let Us Have Peace"
c. D. O'Brien was on deck and paid
glorious tribute to the genial Albert.
FL. III. Fuller was all smiles. Kelly
and Doran had been downed and his
revenge was complete.
William Pitt Murray, who began at
tending conventions long before Anson
ever thought of playing base ball, never
said word.
Somebody remarked that If the Re-
publicans were sharp they would turn
around and nominate Edmund Rice.
Said disgruntled Onlooker, as he
filed out of the hall: "That man Fitz-
gerald had as much show in that con-
Vention as snow ball would in hades.''
