The republican congressional con
vention of the Sixth district met in
the criminal court room at 10 o'clock
this forenoon. Every county was rep
resented except Hickory, which was
allowed to 90 unrepresented.
At 1890, P. HI. Sangree, chairman
of the congressional committee, led
the committee to one of the side rooms,
and after remaining some twenty min
utes, returned with the following re,
port, which was unanimously adopted:
We, the congressional committee of
the Sixth district, deem it best to
waive temporary organization, and
that j. w. Moore, of Moniteau county,
be made permanent chairman.
The report was adopted, and Col.
Moore returned thanks to the conven-
ton for the honor conferred. He
was very much pleased, he said, to see
so many of the wheelhoIses present,
and he hoped sooa to see the Sixth
Missouri district represented by a
republican.
On motion of E. III. Redmon, of
Cooper county, III. L. Williams, of
Pettis, was elected permanent secre-
tarY.
Gen. Odin Guitar, of Boone county,
arose and moved that the convention
proceed to nOmisate candidate for
congress, which motion was seconded
by Ed. ID. Crawford, of Pettis.

Mr.. Guitars motion /:
Resolved, That in the judgment of
this convention it is wise policy and
good politics not to make any nOmi-
nation for congress in this district by
the republican party.
j. w. Moore, of Moniteau, stated
that the Labor Union party bad
nominated w. g. Alldredge for the
same Office and he thought it would
be a good idea to endorse that nomi-
nation.
On motion of F. G. Wilson, of
Dallas county, the substitute was laid
ON the table and the original motion
was put and prevailed, when
the convention proceeded to nomi-
nations.
E. III. Redmon, of Cooper county,
editor of the Boonville Republican,
was placed in nomination by w. Ed.
Crawford, of Pettis, and duly sec
onded.
Mr.. Redmon took the floor and
said: 81 came to this convention for
the purpose of seeing that a republi-
can was nominated, but | am not a |
candidate nor do [ want to be a con-
gresham. / have worked on a farm
all my life, excepting the last few
years, when embarked on the jour-
nalistic sea. There are over $4,000
voters in the Sixth dis
trict and 1 know the party can find
some one who is
great deal better qualified in
every way to make the canvass than
/ but if no one else will accept the
nomination, I will"
Mr.. Guitar followed by saying:
''Tbe republican party will furnish
the ammunition; we want a gun"
