of Morton county, and Ayres of Stark
county, secretaries.
In accepting the election of chairman

a narrow contracted party, but a party
of broad views, sound principles.

der.

Mr.. Boucher then placed in nomina-
ton for the judge Of the Sixth judicial
district, the Hon. Walter H. Winohes-
ter. He said that three years ago the
republicans of this district were called
upon for the first time to select a per.
son as a candidate for the office Of Judge
of this district. That the convention at
that time made a wise choice there is
not a person in the hall who would for a
moment deny. He (the speaker) de.
sired, on behalf of Burleigh county, to
place in nomination for judge the Hon.
Walter H. Winchester-to be supported
by the voters of this district at the elec-
ton to be held in November next. Jap
plause.] The career of Judge Win
chester as judge of this district had
been one that had commended itself to
all who had business before his court.
At all times he has had in view the in
terests OF the various counties where he
has had to hold court. His admins
tration has been IN economical one at a
time when there was need of economy.
Mr.. Foley, representing Billings
county, desired to approve everything
that had been said by the previous
speaker and seconded the nomination of
Judge Winchester.
MI. Bates, on behalf of Stark county,
seconded the nomination. All the acts
OF the judge have shown such. marked
ability and fairness that the people, of
Stark county are unanimously in favor
of his nomination and election.
Mr.. Voss took pleasure in seconding
the nomination Of the judge on behalf
OF Morton county. In his denomination
there was no experiment. He had been
tried for the last three years and had
not been found wanting. He desired to
call attention to the resolution passed by
the Morton county convention a few
weeks ago, which set forth the esteem
in which the republicans of this county
held Judge Winchester. = .
The nomination was then made by &C.
clamation, by a rising vote.
Chairman Parker said he desired to
congratulate the convention on their
opportunity of expressing themselves
here, and that they had declared their
preference for a man who has been
tried.
Judge Winchester was then called for,
and escorted to the platform by a COM
mittee appointed for that purpose. He
said that he felt very much embarrassed
in view OF the kind expressions that had
been made concerning him. He de-
sired to thank them sincerely for the
confidence they had shown, him in again
nominating him for the position Of
Judge OF the Sixth Judicial district.
While the duties that devolve upon the
judge Of this district are in many re-
