day afternoon last; meeting called
to order by E. J. Jones. On motion
E. W. Randall was elected temporary

porary sec. The same gentlemen

the permanent officers Of the con.
vention.
A committee of three was appoint
ed on credentials as follows: Messrs.
Lundemo, Durkee and Mckenzie.
On resolutions, Messrs. Darling.
Holton and Golden.
A recess was taken to allow the
committees to complete their work.
The present incumbents were
placed in nomination except Register
of Deeds and County Superintendent;
Mr.. Bicknell refusing to run for Sup
erintendent as the candidates with
one exception were from the village
Of Morris. The ticket stands:
For Auditor, N. r. Spur; Treas
urer, A. C. Thorp; Sheriff, &. H.

P. Dye; End Dist. A. V. Parsons; 4th
Dist. G. C. Thorp.
The following were elected dele
gates to $he Congressional Conven.
ton: J. E. Danielson. G. G. Thorp,
l. H. Donnelly and Fl. w. Stone Jr.
Delegates to the Legislative Con-
vention: J. R. Holton, John E.
Sanders, II. II. Wells. R. c. Stevens,
Geo. E. Darling and 81. E. Johnson.
Mr.. Sanders made vigorous kick
against being instructed for a certain
candidate, refusing to be treated as a
boy or slave; he fought 80 manfully
that he defeated Mr.. Darlings resolu-
ton. We were glad to see one man
in the convention manly enough to
refuse to wear the collar.
OF the old officers who are nomi-
mated for re- ELECTION we need say
nothing, they are we'll known in the
county; they have done their duties
well, and are men Of srIeproachable
character. Of the two new candi-
dates we would say, Henry Wolff has
grown up among us, his character is
spotless, and he is we'll qualified to
fill the Office he is nominated for. L.
r. Macintosh of Eldorado is a
vigorous young man, he is compare
lively an old settler in Stevens County
and is esteemed, and highly appre.
ciated where ever know, if elected to
the Office of superintendent we have
no doubt he will give entire satisfac.
ton.
All this may seem strange, coming
from a democratic paper, but we
wish to say, now, at the beginning Of
/ the campaign that THE Sun will
never try to gain avote for its party
by throwing dirt on it's opponents.
At the same time we mean to expose
all fraud, corruption or over reaching
practiced by any man or party who
may get his or their hands into the
public purse.
1t is now for the democrats to place
better men in nomination, if they
can, and better principles, which they
can; and we will try to convince the
voters of Stevens county before the
5th of November next that they can
do both.
There were two things conspicuous
by their absence viz, numbers and
enthusiasm; the convention seemed
to be run entirely by one faction of
the party, while the other looked
glum and threatening.
RESOLUTIONS:
We, the Republicans of Stevens
County, in convention assembled, do
resolve:
FIRsT-That we favor the modifi-
cation of the tariff to that extent
compatible with the financial needs
of the nation, keeping at the same
time in view the fact that radical
changes in any system long estab
liShed, which effect the industrial
, interests of the country, would prove
disastrous to alike skilled and un
skilled labor and invested capital
SECOND-That we appreciate and
greatly admire the action of that
prince of Republicans, ripe statesman
and eminent scholar, the Honorable
James G.. Blaine. for his timely
efforts ia advocat ing the principle OF
) trade reciprocity between the nations
/ Of the Western Hemisphere.
TH1RD-That We cordially endorse
the action of the recent state conven
! ton in its choice of the Honorable
William &. Merriam for governor o.
r this state, and in the nomination o.
J the very worthy and distinguished
q gentlemen composing the balance o.
the state ticket.
FoURTH-That we heartily approve
7 and commend the consistent and coti
sentative course of our efficient con.
gresham, the Honorable Solomon G
Comstock, and hereby publicly pro
. claim our desire that he again b,
l chosen as the standard bearer in thi
Q congressional district.
I FIFTH-That we invite regid ex
animation of the official records o
Republican officers of Stevens county
!. and that we favor the retention Of n,
Q off Ger who has proven derelict O
;, dishonest in the discharge of publi
duty.
SIxTH-That we favor the distri
button of the various county office
J. between the different classes irres
q pective of the occupation of tn
I candidate. but that we stoutl,
maintain that occupation alone give
: no right to monopolize the nomi
