The West End Convention.

The West End Convention.
The impression had got abroad
somehow that there Was to be d Rep
ssbliear County Convention held i'll
his city last W edneSday, for the pur-
pose of nominating county ticket.
But such was not the ease. 4 few
people at the Vest End calling them
seivss delegates to the Republican
County Convention, met at the court
house and put i'll nomination list Of
Names previously agreed upon anl en-
,!orsCd hy tic Land * River Improve
mcnt company, and are trying TO pass
it off as the Republican ticket. But
tss Republicans OF the county have
really had no voice in the matter, and
it is purely Il Hest End ticket. Mr..
NJ t-iette, of the Hes EaI was made
chairman. In order to carry out their
program it was deemed best to change
the order of nominations from that
given 81 the call and SO that OF Regis
Of Sheriff. This point gained the
dance went merrily Oh. J. +. Ware,
ST the West End, IL down country, play
ell out politician, Il sort OF lWyer who
delights i'll defending to the best Of
his reak abilities the criminals of the
city who are considered by some as
necessary evils WAS nominated for
Register
'yhe Sheriff question was then taken
up and resulted III the nomination OF
Ole GE;l'ickson, of the HieSt End, best
known as the late driver of Girls Erpy's
beer wagon. lie is supposed to be
aha to carry the Norwegian and the
Swede vote of the county, but he can
not carry one side of it. That kind Of
sote ices not follow such leadership.
For olnty Clerk Edward Notion, of
the Hest Eed, was named We do not
know Mr.. Notion personally, but on
inquiry we find him to be a gentleman
III the proper sense Of the word, thor
oughly competent, and we believe this
i'll all respects Il worthy nominee.
The original Plan was not to renom-
mate any present Official or any one
from the East End, but some Of the
nominees was afraid to 90 To such eX-
tremes, and when it came to nominal
ing man for Treasurer, the second
hallot changed to J. +. Bishoif, Jr, of
the East End, for reelection. They
AL realized that Fred WAS Il good man
Srd a strong one and they did not
hardly dare openly fight him i'll the
convention though they Will no doubt
try to defeat him at the polls, but they
will hardly be able to do 50.
.S,,n 4 Murphy, of the Uct End,
Was nominated for District Attorney.
Mr.. Murphy is Il man who can talk Il
good deal with his mouth and that is
about all that can be said ct him.
There is nothing bad abodt the man
that we know of, and if there WAS no
business to do before our courts he
would no doubt make very good
district attorney. But the day of no
business" his gone by and we ought
10 have an able lawyer III that office.
To the surprise of all, Dan IIulliund,
0ln was a candidate for County Clerk
was nominated for Clerk of the Court,
much to the disgust Of Mr. Walter
Fitch and Mr.. J. e.. y La Blanc. Mr.
Ilufllund is also 4 JIie<f End man and
7~ will be beaten for that office while
he could have been elected to The
other. Ills friends are not at all sat
istied and it is quite likely that he VIII
refuse to run for clerk of court
+. T. Black, Of the Hiei Eul. was
nominated for County surveyor
Il. e.. W illams. of the IIiCSt End.
VAS TIE next victim ants he was put
AZ for superintendent Of schools
There WAS but one more Place left
and that was Coroner Nh Perkins
thought the convention had scooped
sut an elegant party grave ana want
eel to he sat upon and buried by a
~emuetent man. and SO he nominated
J. ID. Whitney for Coroner Whit
has sat upon good many putrid
bodies i'll the past four wears, but he
Will want IN extra wad OF cotton in
His nose Hilen he comes to bury his
dead on the 9Th Of November next.
