important business transacted was
the adoption of resolution that the
Democrats would not put up any cam
didate against Judge Stillwell but
would leave the place OH their ticket
blank,-a very sensible and patriotic
resolution. The Peoples party COM
mittee had meeting also, and an ef-

enemy, the Republican party. But
the effort failed. AS one of the DEM

of fine appearance and pleasant ad-

lied nations are farmers" "Civilized
nations are people who go to church
and speak proper and don't believe in
idols" "Enlightened nations are peo-
pie who hold Office" The children
evidently go to their heads rather
than to books for their answers.
