helm. of st. Louis, and Weber and
Cahoon, from the country, warned the
convention thas 1t would be suicidal
to nominate Kinsey; lie could not ear
~ the district again and the glorious
victory of 1883 would be certainly fol-
lowed by an overw helming defeat
this year, if Kinsey was namesi.
These remarks were received with
Kisses and sneers, accompa DIED by
cries of ''put them oul!" from the
kinsey crowd. The few present who
wanted harmony more than any par
ticular man, endeavored in vain tc
quell the disturbance. but it was nc
use, and the most disgracefuI scenes
followed. A little affair occurred at
shis instance in the proceedings that
Capt. G. r.. Peck, who for years led
the Republicans in his section, and has
more ability and Knowledge in political
matters than the entire gang that at
present controls affairs in the Repub-
lican party in Iron ever will have,
stepped from the VISITORS gallery to
have a short talk with one Of the dele
gates from Reynolds. He was seen by
sx-candidate for Treasurer, Sch wab, of
the Iron county crowd, who immedi-
ately called on the sergeant-at-arm to
remove him. The Captain was remov-
ed but he was Immediately offered a
seat in the ST. Louis delega ton, among
whom he had many friends, who knew
hirn and were we'll acquai1ted with
his past services. Doesn't time work
wondrous changes? A few years ago
Peck was the front and shoulders of
the Republican party in his county
and the crowd who are to-day posing
his finger. Peck has since had little
kard luck, and, although as much of =
Republican as ever, they desert him
and never lose an occasion to offer b i'm
saront or insult. The Democrats, in
Iron, though have no reason to com
plain, for the Statesmen who at present
run the machine always manage to
get up a fight among themselves that
results ,'isastrously to the Republicans
AMI increases the majorities Of the
Democratic nominees.
sey was nominated on the second bal
lot. The viclors were hilarious and
the vanquished worse than correspon-
dinghy glum as they muttered "let the
crowd who nominated, elect. We'll
90 home and may vote for kinsey, but
taat is all we will do" Bartholu was
especially sore and declared he had no
fair deal. Half of the st. Louis county
d. lega ton deserted him and supported
the opposition, while three delegates
from one Of the wards, which had in
structious for him betrayed their trust,
and voted for Kinsey. The mutter-
ings of dscontent arose from all over
she hall, end to avoid a popular upris-
ing, the chairman adjourned the con-
YES ton shortly after.
1t seems that now everybody agrees
that Sam Byras will be elected, and
the dispute is only AS to the size of his
majority.
There is undoubtedly dissatisfaction
in the Republican camp. The C c,nven-
ton plainly demonstrated that fact,
aud 1t is hardly probable that the
kickers can be whipped into line III
the short period Intervening between
row and election. The sores are too
deep to heal in so short time. Bar
thold is sulking in his tent and bis fol-
lowers would just about as soon see
kinsey defeated as not. The Filley
men will not work for the uominee.
The Germans say they have been re-
fused the first representation they ever
asked from the district and the snub
will be manifest when the votes are
counted.
All in all the indications are highly
promising that kinsey, the light
weight, the nonenity, will soon be BAN
ished TO the oblivion he is so well in-
tended for. SPECTATOR.
