Mr.. Weaver was chosen the nominee of
the Democracy for county clerk by a ma
iority OF five. On motion of Mr.. Meyer
MIR. Viewers nomination was made
unanimous In accepting the place on
the ticket the gentleman said that it
would not be due to the lack of effort on
his part if he did not act as clerk for this
county during the two years commencing
Jan. l, 1889.
TREASURER.
10 find "A man to measure lanccs with
the willy Busy B was not so difficult, after
all. VIXEN nominations for the office of
treasurer and probate Judge we're an
nounced as In order Mr.. Stoll said: For
this place | wish to submit to the conven-
ton the name of a man who will collect
the taxes when they are due, a man who
will not bail notorious criminals ont Of
Jail for political effect, a nan who will not
use a public off sc to further his private
ends, a competent man, an honorable
citizen and a heavy tax payer. Mr..
Chairman and gentlemen of the conven-
ton | nominate A. ii. Ho-d."
When the applause had subsidized the
nomination of Mr. Hord was made unan
lmous with a hearty good will.
Mr.. Hord said that although not in the
habit of making speeches he wished to
thank the convention for the honor con
fined upon himself and would enter the
field with a good heart and work unceas-
ingly throughout the campaign for the
entire ticket.
THE INCIDENT.
To the level headed alderman from the
first ward, NJ. 2. Moroney, fell the honor
of naming w r. Stoll, the present incum-
bent, for the office of prosecuting attor-
ney.
Mr.. H. t. Goodwln's motion to the
effect that shat Mr.. Stoll's name be placed
upon the winning ticket was heartily
adopted.
In consenting to make the race once
more Mr.. Sto'l made a few remarks
which caused considerable uneasiness in
certain quarters and which will have the
effect of bringing Trades of abuse upon
his devoted head from now until after the
election. For its Misrepresentation of
his official acts the speaker arraigned the
county ring which has Tor several years
carried things with a high hand and the
publisher of the Republic organ which
has so persistently bounded and I'M
tiringly slandered him. He alluded to
the portly proprietor of the San as a
monument of stupidity and utilization,
and was enthusiastically cheered. The
paper referred TO lad falsely stated day
after day that the cost of conducting the
prosecution of Patterson was between
$4,000 and $40, 900, whereas as a matter
of fact it had not exceeded IS, 500. This
continuous REPETITION of an untruth had
been i~nstigated by the ring which sought
to suppress the speaker. Mccoy, he
said, had been left in jail by a Republican
county attorney who should have prose-
cuted him. Patterson had been appre-
hended by a Republican sheriff, and he
had no alternative but to prosecute him
to the best Of his ability.
Mr.. Slack was present during his ar
raignment. No, he wasn't mad, he was
Just frantic. 1t is said the gentleman
once became SO angry that he lifted 2
1000 pound press without help. Such a
spasm wasn't to be compared with
his condition when Mr.. Stoil had
finished. IF the able prosecute
ing attorney isn't numerically
scored in this mornings issue of GHE
LEADERS contemporary it will be simply
because the vocabulary of the moulder of
public opinion for that Journal is off on a
vacation.
COMMISSIONERS.
At this juncture Laramie county's next
board of commissioners was named. Eight
nominations we're made, but five of the
gentlemen either declined or we're with
drawn. T. Dyer, l.. Greentree and Geo.
A. Draper were declared the candidates of
the Democracy by acclamation. Mr..
Greentree remarked that he felt highly
elated in finding himself in such good
company. Mr.. Draper modestly thanked
the delegates, and Mr.. Dyer said that he
would endeayOr to perform his duty to the
best of his ability.
ASSESSOR.
There was quite a spirited contest for
the nomination for assessor. The candi-
dates were j. A. Johnston, c. A. Campbell
and Mai. GlaEcke. In presenting the lnSt
