and Frank Bradley. Each delegate
may choose q proxy. VIM. Mallory
arose to communicate the intelligence
that the railways will sell tickets to the
state convention to DO held at Sioux
City, Sept. 18th, at one fare for the
round trip, but failed to state whether
such tickets would bear a Covington
coupon.
. Mike Miller the sage of the Carroll
Sentinel being in the audience, stated
later that the democrats of Carroll had
made arrangements for special car for
transportation, and he cordially invited
the Audubon delegation to accompany
them. Every delegate was thereupon
overwhelmed with regret that he had
|, not pulled wires for seat on the state
delegation, and monumental premium
on proxies was at once established.
The entire convention wanted to 90 in
Mikes special car.
The manner of choosing candidates
for county offices caused some discus
sion. John Connrardy was in favor of
each delegation voting by secret ballot
but 1t was argued that too much time
would be thus consumed, and his mo-
ton was lost, A motion to vote by call
of townships carried, and the conven-
proceeded to ballot upon candidates for
representative, 1t being stipulated that
the first ballot be informal. On the In.
formal ballot l.. L. Byrum received 30
votes and James Davis IS. Mr.. Davis
thanked the convention for its compli-
ment, but he had not been candidate
and withdrew In favor of Mr.. Byrum,
whereupon the rules were suspended
and the latter was nominated by nc.
clamation.
John Connrardy presented the name
OF W. II. Milliman for auditor, and
John Peek presented the name of J. &.
+. Wicker. The informal ballot gave
Milliman *, Wicker 10, and Rendleman
IL. A motion was made to nominate
Milliman by reclamation, but was with.
drawn In the face Of objections.
Prof. Brinkerhoff, speaking for Mr..
Rendeman, withdrew that geneleman's
name, thanking the party for past ia.
vors. The formal ballot gave Milliman
81, Wicker "a, and the former was de.
clared the nominee.

John b. Doak ", W. Il. IIensley 4, and
lsendleman |, showing an opposition to
the candidate for second term which
was n surprise TO his friends. On the
formal ballot Doak received O., IIensley
o, and the former was declared the nom
mee.
J. Nal Bryan, of the Leroy delegation
presented the name Of VIM. Armstrong,
OF Melville township, as u candidate for
sheriff. In doing so Mr.. Bryan
seemed to be laboring under the inn
preston that the office Is legislative, for
he stated that Mr.. Armstrong was u
temperance man, but opposed to pro-
hibition, because 1t never did, does not
and never can prohibit. Mr.. Bryan
should not endeavor to dupe the demo
cratic party with the idea that Mr..
Armstrong could repeal the prohibitory
law even though elected sheriff of our
county. o. p. Tyler presented the
name of the present deputy sheriff,
John Crane. The informal ballot gave
20, Crane %, Mallory 81. 1t

uttered by Mallory and
