The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1892-08-13
Not Exactly OF One Mind,

those of Republican proclivities, do
not seem to be Of one mind on all
/ things. One element in the city think
that inasmuch as Mr.. IIaugen has al
ways been our SteadfaSt friend, even
! when we had but 4 handful Of voters
/ to give in his election and but one
delegate in the nominating conven
ton, the city ought to give INN its
/ support this year when its support
would amount to something.
Another element, and the strongest,
so far as the primaries are concerned
at least, say he has had the office three
| terms and that now he must go and
give place toa new man, and that the
new man shall be Mr. J. b. Thayer, of
Superior.
At the caucuses Friday and Satnr-
day evenings last Il good deal of feel
ing was gendered and all the wards
except two elected two sets of dele
gates to the county convention which
was held on Monday. The Thayer men
got control of the convention and
elected delegates as follows:
State delegates--F. J. Matchette, J.
F. Ware. W. f. UoeIle, Z. L. Barton,
II. ID. Kicker, Z. G. Fish, {. J. Mon
son.
Congressional delegates--J. \. Muir
ply, E. &. Mills, J. y. Dahl, S. J.
Bailey, p Z. Colgard, W. +. Gould
Previous to the election OF the above
delegates, however, the IIaugen men,
seeing themselves unable to have what
they considered due recognition shown
them had withdrawn from the hall
and held a convention of their own in
another room in the same building.
These elected the following delegates:
State-F J. Matchette, J. +. Ware,
E. L. Barton, L q. Fish, a. +. Wool
pert, H. ID. Kicker, {. J. Monson.
Congressional-A \. Cross, {. S.
Starkweather, {. \ LOOMS, Ole 5.
Hard; \. \. Johnson, William Potts.
In the matter of State delegates
there was no particular controversy,
all parties uniting on Martin Pattison
for Lieut.. Governor. The Congress
Sional convention cOnveneS one week
from next W Wednesday, the 2lth inst,
and what the outcome of that meeting
Will be can not be foretoll, but unless
somebody is going to be able to pour
oil on the troublad waters there is go
ing to be trouble we very much fear.
We haye heard some Of Mr.. Thayer's
men say that they viii not support MI
liangen if he gets the nomination but
to what extent this may be carried
cannot be told now, but if that pro-
gram is to be carried out all over the
distric, it may mean Republican de
feat, but we do not believe that Mr..
Thayer is party to any such line of
work
This is no time for party warfare.
If there is anything wrong, if there is
anybody to be punished, if there are
any ''old scores to be settled let it be
done two years hence, but not now i'll
this very important year. The party
Will nominate Il good man and no
doubt do it i'll a perfectly honorable
manner, ana this being done, that
nominee, whether IIaugen, Thayer CT
Jenkins, should receive the solid sup
port Of the party.

| fully illustrated in this city than II
was in the death OF Judge Ira r. Lee
last Sunday morning. lie was Il We'll
preserved man of about siXty-two years
! and had always enjoyed good health
All day Saturday lie was in his law Of
| flee in the Descent block, and working
on a case for Mr.. :. X Duff of this
/ city. He was SO well that his family,
including Mrs. Lee, went with party
of citizens and friends for Il two weeks
! outing on Wisconsin Point, and at
nine O'Clock Saturday night the writer
enioved a ten minute chat with him ut
/ the door of the post otlice, when he
was in his usual genial and pleasant
frame of mind.
Sunday morning he left his house
just across Fifth street from the De
scent block and started to go to church.
Just as he reached Merrell' drug store,
located in the corner store of the De
scent block, he seemed to grow dizzy,
stepped INTO the store and without
speaking sank to the floor dead, the
cause probably being apopieXy.
Medical aid was summoned and in q
moment doctors Baird, Spencer and
Common were at his side, but it was OF
no avail the summons of the grim
messenger was final, and the lfe work
of good man was ended. Mr.. John
T. Bardon took his steam yacht and
went to Wisconsin Point to convey
the sad news to his family and bring
them home In the meantime under
taker J. d. Whitney had been sum
moned and the body removed to the
home and properly cared for.
Mr. Lee was New Yorker by birth,
but from early boyhood had been a
resident of Ohio, for long time living
at Toledo, where the family homestead
is still held. He come to Superior in
1858 to attend the litigation of the
celebrated Greaves land contest
After that he was attorney for the
Consolidated Land company the first
year of its organization, and the see
ond year its assistant counselor since
which time he has operated entirely
on his own account. Ills family came
here in the fall of 1850, and he now
leaves besides his wife, one son, Mr.
Charles A., and one daughter, Miss
Julia F. Lee. to mourn a loving hus-
band and kind and indulgent father,
! IS he WaS a trnn friend TO All mnnkInn.
