The action of the Paynesville lodge in
Withdrawing from the convention and
refusing to take part after it had deter
mined to nominate a candidate, was
most commendable, and shows that they
are true to.their political principles.
The report OF the proceedings of the
Paynesville Convention shows that Mr.
Davis Young was the mover of the reso-
luton to nominate candidate, and he
was also one OF the candidates placed in
nomination. He may have foreseen
that he was feathering his own political
nest. 1t may prove his political funeral.
Meade county is to have new paper,
to be called the Meade County Reporter,
and will make its appearance about the
LIST of Apr The proprietors will be
Marion Hise and Roland OBryan. Mr..
O'Bryan, who is now the County Super
intendent of Schools, will be editor. 1t
will be an eight column paper and will
be strictly Democratic. 1t will no doubt
be a success, as the men in charge are
fully qualified to make successful
paper.
In accordance with a call which had
been made, about $50 members of the
Farmers Alliance met at Paynesville ON
Saturday for the purpose of determining
whether or not they would nominate an
Independent candidate for the Legisla-
ture. The members present represented
the lodges of Oak Grove, Flat Rock,
Sandy Hill, Paynesvile and Pleasant
Grove. The meeting was called to or
der by Elisha Ashcraft, and Polk Wiles
was elected Chairman. A motion was
made by Mr. Davis Young that the
meeting nominate candidate for the
Legislature. This motion was bitterly
fought by number of Democrats pres
ent, but it carried by large majority.
Nominations being called for, the names
of John H. Whelan, Davis Young and
VIM. Allen were placed before the con-
vention. Without any choice being
made the meeting adjourned, and it was
determined to meet in mass convention
at Brandenburg ON the second Saturday
in April to make nomination. which
will probably be one of the above-named
men. The Paynesville lodge was OPP
posed to nominating an independent
candidate and withdrew from the con-
vention, refusing TO have anything to do
with it. A large number of those pres
ent were Republicans, who, with few
exceptions, voted in favor of the nomi-
nation OF candidate. Both Messrs.
Richardson and Cundiff, candidates for
the Democratic nomination, were pres
ent, and urged the Democrats not to
take such action in opposition To their
party.
