''To die, to sleep, to sleep perchance
to DREAM" Hamlet soliloquized, ac-
cording to Shakespeare. ''To sleep,
perchance to die," soliloquized the
ghost of jefferson as it looked down
upon the Redwood County Democratic
convention, held in Lamberton last
Tuesday. To sleep with Populists and
Prohibitionists-is this worse than to
sleep that sleep that knows no waking.
Aye, there's the rub But we'll try the
experiment. Thus saith the Redwood
Democracy.
The city Democracy declared that
they were not in it. They admitted
this as soon as they struck Lamberton
The South side delegates proposed to
run the machine, and they proposed
to let those delegates run it. They
were snubbed by the chair on COM
mittees, and not until nominations
were reached did they assume the air
OF chiefs. Then they nailed the clerk
of court, Judge of Probate and the
good with the bad was medium easy
taking And here endeth the first chap
ter of the prophecy of Stewart.
There were several "Pops" and
''Prohibs" around. T. L. Gilbert,
chairman of the 'Pop' central com
mittee was there, fixed things for tu-
sion, and then coolly informed the city
Democracy that he did not care what
they done. H. H. Leavitt, on behalf
of the Prohibs, conceded the Dems
the clerk of court. and this concession
frightened the spirits of the city De-
fmocracy And here gndeth the sec:
ond chapter of the prophecy oil
Stewart.
It was two o'clock sharp when Chair.
! man Fred Gley called the convention
to order. and in steady voice read the
official call. The chair suggested the
name of Asa Way, Of Walnut Grove
as temporary chairman, and the sug.
gestion was adopted by a unanimous
vote and Henry j. McKirdy was elect.
ed temporary secretary.
An attempt was made right here tc
have the temporary organization made
permanent, but the attempt was sal
upon, as no credential committee had
been appointed. The chair was au.
thorized to appoint the latter ano
named Messrs. r. Welsh, of North
Hero, J. Tiffany, Of Delhi, and P. M
Ryder, of Morgan. This committee
after few moments recess, reported
the following named gentlemen enti
tied to seats in the convention:

And here endeth the third chapter

The report of the committee on ere
dentials, was adopted, without dissent
on motion of A. w. Bager, and on mo
ton of Joe Tiffany the temporary or
ganization was made permanent.

olutions; it delays time and there il
no use of it," said Edward Lewis, bu1
