The republican county convention
held in this city on last Saturday was
a very harmonious affair of the kind,
and ticket was nominated on which
all republicans can unite, and which
all true republicans will support from
top to bottom. AS in all convt 1tions
some of the candidates, good men ant
true, failed in obtaining what they ant
their friends hoped and worked han
to obtain. 1t is natural, that with th
disappointed ones, feeling somewha
akin to opposition towards their sue
cessful competitors should obtain to
some extent-but, with no one loyal
to his party, who has submitted his
name to the arbitrament of a conven-
ton should that feeling gain activity
sufficient to induce him to oppose his
rivals election. Stand by your par
tvs nominees, should be and will be,
the motto and battle cry of every re.
publican in Thomas county this fall
From county clerk throughout the
whole ticket to county commissioner,
the ticket has been selected from citi-
zens outside of Colby The farmers
have a farmers ticket in the entire
republican ticket. and there is no need
of farmers separate ticket, such is
now offered by the republican party
to the farmers and citizens of Thomas
county this fall, and republicans will
not allow themselves to be led off into
outside parties under whatsoever guise
they may be named. Movements of
this kind are generally fathered by
democrats to catch unwary republican
votes. Mark our words. that if q
move is made outside of the two reg
ulsr parties to nominate ticket this
fall in Thomas county, it will be faith
cred and led by men of democratic
antecedents, who hope thus to divide
the republican vote. Trust then
not, they're fooling thee Republi

far above the legitimate value; there,

ReSolUed, That this Alliance extend
our thanks to those merchants who so
kindly and willingly aided us in Sc
curing substitutes; and those citizens
who stood so firmly with us in their
use, thereby enabling the farmers to
resent the wrong and unexpected ex-
tortion and to awaken the combines to
a knowledge that there is yet some
force left in public opinion AMI spirit
to oppose unjust extortion and oppres-
sion upon the honest efforts of the
producer.
Resolved further, That we show our
appreciation by giving the preference
of our trade for the future to those
merchants who have so kindly "x-

1t is the sense of this Alliance that

farming class of our people; therefore
be it
Resolved, That we enter u most
solemn protest against the publication
of same to the end that gambling in

as possible, and we respectfully ask
our farmers, merchants and guano
agents not to make known to any re-
porter the acreage seeded down or the
amount of fertilizers used by the farm
ers, especially as regards the cotton
crop.
ResoZved, That we ask the farmers
to make less cotton and more corn,
peas, potatoes, grain and vegetables,
to make more homemade manuIe and
buy less guano, and quit, as far as pos
sible, buying supplies and guano on
time by giving crop liens.
