A Harmonious Convention.
..' From Sundays Daily.]
The convention was called to order by
Secretary Mckenzie. After the reading OF
the call Mr.. Boucher nominated J. R. Gage
for temporary chairman and he was unan-
imously elected.
Harvey Harris nominated j. P. White
for secretary but Mr.. White declined and
Mr.. G. B. Holly was chosen.
Mr.. Mckenzie moved that a committee
of five on credentials be appointed. The
chair appointed Messrs. Mckenzie, White,
Sperry, Harris and Griffin.
On motion of MI. Harris it was decided
to allow those present from precincts
where the regularly elected delegates had
not come in, to represent their respective
precincts.
At this juncture Mr.. White arose to a
question Of personal privilege. He said he
was a republican. He had learned that he
had been nominated for county commits
sioner on some sort of independent ticket.
He knew nothing of the independent con-
v~ention-was not a candidate for Office and
should have nothing to do with any except
the straight republican ticket. He had
been called a kicker but he was not a kick
er against republicans. His kick was
against men who pretended to be republic
cans but were not.
A committee on resolutions was named,
composed of Messrs. Boucher, Will and
Tyler.
While the committee on credentials was
out Farmer Wallace was called on for a
speech. The Farmer talked for an hour,
and made one Of the most stirring speeches
Of his life. He reviewed the political bat
ties of this country had during the past
fifteen years, and made some home hits at
political knifers. He spoke Of his sum-
mer's work and denied the charges that he
been working for his own political adj
vancement and defied any man in Burleigh
county to come forward and say that he
had mentioned politics to him during all
his summers work. He scored political
knifers and said that one-who was sitting
in this republican cOnVentiOn-had said on
the streets that if he GARNER Wallace)
should be nominated for the Legislature he
would run against him as al independent.

their principles and their nominees: urged
that all republicans stand true for the
