WORK OF THE CONVENTION.

The primaries on last Friday moved off
quietly in every township throughout the
county There were two tickets in each
township, but the best of humor prevail
ed, and while one ticket was bound to be
beaten, the defeated parties had made up
their minds to stand by the decision of a
majority of the republicans and work for
the success of the party in every way.
Morgan township was the center of in
terest, as it was to elect 10 delegates and
of course which ever way the Morgan
delegates went in the convention would
have great weight and influence over
other delegations. The two primary
tickets in this township was what might
be termed Reed and Summers tickets.
The Reed ticket was elected by MAORI
ties ranging from tie to eight votes
Messrs. Brown and Buschow were tied,
and in the roundup Mr.. Brown came
out ahead. which gave the Reed ticket
full delegation.
One hundred and sixty votes were cast
making 81 necessary for choice. The
highest any one delegate received was
SO. the average being about 50. 1t was a
close contest. but fairly and honestly per-
formed, and every true republican is
found standing by the result.

County Convention.
The Thomas county republican conven- |
ton was called to order on Saturday af-
ternoon in ArmOry hall, at 2 O clock, with |
a full attendance of delegates and large
number of spectators including leading
democrats. who were anxious to see a |
general row, but they went away sadly |
disappointed, for everything passed off |
as peaceably and tremendously as could |
be. The interest of the convention was
centered on nominating a sheriff and |
considerable excitement was expected |
when that part of the programme was
reached. Nine ballots were necessary to |
decide the contest, which, though quiet |
was earnest and determined.

rary chairman, and II. A. Brant secre-
tary. The first thing in order was the
appointing of several committees, which |
