CHICAGO CONVENTION.

This paper is printed Wednesday
morning before anything definite has
been heard from Chicago.
Judge Thurston, q railroad lawyer
from Nebraska, was chosen temporary
chairman.
The New York state delegation has
declared for Chauncy NJ. Depew, the
great railroad magnate and corpora
ton adviser, and lie certainly stands
some show for the nomination. But it
may be Blaine for dispatch from Chi
cago, dated Monday night, says: 1.-The
older politicians, most of whom are on
the ground to-day, still feel that Blaine
will eventually be the nominee. 1t is
not unlikely that there will be a long
and perhaps bitter struggle in the con-
vention. 1t need surprise no one if it
should be six day convention. There
IS reason to believe that the Blaine peo-
pie are quietly urging all the favorite
sons and the fayorite sons will be played
against each other for two or three days
until the delegates grow tired, and will
be glad to put anybody through with
a hurrah. This will be Blaine's oppor-
tunity."

Harper County Enterprise June l5):
1--WE notice 10y the Barber County In

as the place and time of holding the
convention and apportioned the delega-
tions equally, that is Clark, Comanche.
Meade, Barber and Harper, are each TO
have seven delegates to the convention.
Now We do not object to COldwater rs
the place of holding the convention. al
though we would prefer Medicine Lodge
but we do object to the time and appor.
tiOnnent. We DO not believe that Mr.
McCanless and Mr.. Depton own tn,
democracy Of this district nor do we be
lieve that the democracy Of Barber and
Harper counties viii submit to any sucl
an arrangement. The gote of the differ.
ent counties upon either Moonlight
Isett or George, is the only fairway OF
apportioning delegates, and we insist
that we have such apportiOument. IN,
idea Of Clark, Comanche and Meade
being considered equally with Barber
or Harper when either OF them polled
ever twice as many democratic votes is
sublimely absurd, and is as unfair as ii
unjust. Give us either a state OF con-
gresnonal apprtionment and we are sat.
isled. What say you democrats Of the

A state senator can be elected in this
district by the democrats if the right
kind of man is put up; but the nomi-
nee must be a better man than Mr..
Price or there will be no use in even
trying for the Office. In Harper, Bar
Der and Clark counties, especially, the
farmers and laboring men are Offering
to support any well-knOwn and thor
ouGhly posted tariif-reformer; and we
submit that the democrats canrot
afford to disregard this state OF affairs.
We certainly Should not nominate any
man for the mere sake of bringing his
name before the public that he may be
in a position to apply for some federal
appointment. We should name eau
