nations. AT last the cat was let out Of the bag
Reub Lake Said
'Mr. Chairman, believe In standing by your
agreements, and nominate James W. DObsOn. y
The crowd present broke into loud cheers
The disguise was thrown of, though there were
several vigorous efforts to put it on again.
Mr.. Denton: III arise to point of order The
crowd back there Is here by the courtesy Of the
great Democratic party, and 10 has no right to
cheer Republican speech. Mr. Chairman, you
have no right to entertain such a nomination
Mr.. DObsOn is wellknOwn Republican, has
made good officer, and is the brains Of the Re
publican party, but you cannot present his name
TO this convention"
The chair ruled that 1t was Democratic con
ventiOn, and that any nomination was In order
T. L. O'Bryan nominated "a man who has
been Democrat for fourteen years the last
Fourth of July; Democrat without WindShakes
or wOOdpecker holes, and that man is Daniel l.
Pierce"
Judge Pierce declined the nomination, saying
the people had elected him to one Office and hi
intended holding it till his time was out.
Mr. Denton moved that the nomination Of Mr.
DObson be laid on the table. He started Il
make speech In favor OF the motion when hi
was called down by DR.. Stout, who rose to 8
point Of order, and declared the motion not de
batable, and, besides, Mr.. Denton has spokeI
often enough"
Mr. Denton declared that he did not know the
gag rule was to be worked In the convention
''If you present the name Of DObSOn, it will bC
adding Insult to injury. How would you, Dar
Pierce, like to work for ticket like that? From
the days Of the whisky frauds under Grant til
now the Democratic party has marched to de
feat, but 1t has not been dishOnOred. The name
of DObsOn For shame!"
Mr.. Lake replied to Mr.. Denton, claiming tt
be q Democrat, but II he couldn't get whole
loaf he wanted half.
Judge Ben Carr then shook up the convention
with rattllng speech, cOndemning the efforts
at fusion, and declaring that Though Jim Dob
son is the brains of the Republican party, the
Democrats will not get down on their bellies fOl
him."
OF the result of the convention, 6
Democrat writing to the I11deG, says
EDITOR :-WhooD-la, the "Wbsng
doodle" convention has met and gone. Think O.
the thing, Democrats
The 'WhangdOOdle" has fed into the noun
talns, there to weep and mourn In sorrow anC
anguish over its irst born.
The "Dolly Warden" ticket is Of as man!
cOlors as JOseph's coat; its as rlng-streakcd
striped and piebald as Jacobs cattle. The low
trickery, downright bargain and sale that causeC
the creation thereof, stlnketh, and the stencil
scars In It's nastinesS to heaven The agreeC
deal failed. Exposure came and the result Is be
| fore us.
"Jim" and "Frank." Poor innOcents YOl
protest and aSseverate too much. Go and TAX
counsel Of the powers.
AS general proposition, every Democra
owes allegiance to Democratic ticket But tn,
party first owes 1t to the members to place TO
their suffrage pure, honest and fair ticket, and
when 1t does not do this, but places In nOmlna
tiOn ticket covered all over with slime, bar
gain and sale to oanlmplacable and life long enem
the Republlcans-nOt a member Ontslde Of tn
corrupt combine, owes it anything but kicks ant
cuffs, and these 1t will get. DEMOCRAT.
Dolly Warden tickets seem to b.
growing in popularity with boil
