A Bitter Fight.

CAssELroN, July 25.-[Special. 1T is
not likely that the equal of the Cass
county republican convention just adj
journed at this hour-1a. m.,~ Friday-has
been or ever will be witnessed in the his
tory of northwestern politics. The forces
of the different factions have been on the
ground since Tuesday, working tooth
and nail to gain every possible point of
advantage. Every old feud of the past
ten years between Edwards, Haggart,
Fleming and Ball and followers on one
side, and Hubbard, Gil Roberts, Dodge
and their sympathizers on the other, has
been rehashed and fought over again.
To say that the battle has been a hot one
is putting it in the mildcst form. Men
who have fought in political bodies for
many years pronounce this the greatest
struggle they ever witnessed. The lie
was given and taken as if intended for a
compliment. The battle could we'll be
called an even one until the final strug-
gle came. Then the Edwards men died
in the ditch; but their revenge came
sweet when they downed every man who
sought a county office who had taken
sides against them in the main issue be-
fore the convention-the determination
to beat Hansbrough. The only man who
escaped their vengeance was George E.
Nichols, for ct unity treasurer.
The scenes in the rooms of the COM
mittee on credentials beggars descrip-
ton.
MAJOR EDWARDS WAS AT HIS REST.
The scathing that the representatives of
his opponents received on that occasion
contained some of the most brilliant
flashes of repartee that it has ever been
my good fortune to hear. 1t would be
impossible to pen-picture the occasion.
The Railways and adjoining rooms we're
packed with solid humanity to hear and
see the effect OF the hot shots from either
side. The stolid Indifference of the ma
jority of that committee, however, was
something painful to behold. The COM
mittee had been selected, two from each
Legislative district, and one at large by
the chairman. Two were Scandinavians,
and Walter Muir and j. H. Burnham of
Wheatland; the latter two despising the
major as they would a snake, seemed not
to enjoy the situation, but the balance of
the committee and the audience enjoyed
the condition of affairs immensely.
On THE o OF THE CONVENTION
Colonel Plummer gave the Jumpers"
a ']aying out" that made them fairly
squirm in their seats.
Every known parliamentary usage was
resorted to by both factions to aid them
to gain a point. At times every man in
the convention would be upon his feet;
at others the convention would move
bodily upon the speakers stand and de-
mand recognition. At n time for thirty
five minutes pandemonium reigned SUI
preme, and every man run things to suit
himself. On one occasion a delegate ap-
Spealed from the decision Of the chair.
The chair refused to recognize the ap-
peal. The delegate put the question,
took the vote and then was gagged from
announcing it. Every time either side
gained a point a recess would be taken
to re-establish the broken lines. Men
who were Kick and who had sent proxies
we're dragged from their beds and

to instruct delegates for johnson or any

He HAD RIGHT TO DO Ir.-There was case
tried in the Police Court yesterday growing
out OF the recent assignment made by Druggist
Watson. The defendant in the case was DIR.
Andrew NJ. Green, who was charged with being
an unlicensed auctioneer. When the assign
Inent was made Dr. Green was made assignee
The stock was sold at auction, but the price bid
so low that the doctor bought the goods
himself to protect the creditors as much as pos
sible. ard then he attempted TO dispose of the
stock by auction. Policeman Arnold thought
he had no right TO dispose of the goods in that
manner and he swore to the charge against
him. Judge Miller thought that DIR. Green
had a right to do as he did and dismissed the
case.

SELECTING DESIGN.
In the selection of design it was decided TO
have competitive exhibition of models Ad-
vertisements were inserted in all the leading
art journals of America and Europe Offering
1900 for the best and $1,000 for the next best
model. W. W. Corcoran, being deeply inter
ested in the undertaking, offered the Corcoran
Art Gallery of this city for the exhibition of
models and his offer was accepted. but when
the models began to arrive il was found that
there was not sufficient space to accommodate
them some twenty in all, another place was
secured The first prize was awarded TO Mr..
Nlehaus- of Ohio and the second to a Mr..
Ezekiel. So meritorious, however. was the
work of Marius Jean Antoine Mercie, French
artist, that he was offered a second trial. in
consideration of the fact that none OF the de-
signs exactly suited the taste OF the committee,
and his second effort was selected as the one
the statue should be nodded from. In work
ing out the likeness of Gen. Lee he had the
benefit of the criticisms of Miss Mary Lee, who
