ance today. They first nominated G.
ii. Sheldon, of Hand county, for gov
ernOr, when the bosses had arranged to
head the ticket with Ringsrud. Down
through the list they went, and the
wreck they made OF political hopes was
worse than the wrecks to natures face
by an Iowa cyclone. Congressman Jol-
ley went on the shelf with would
be Congressman Washabaugh Prick
ler, however. landed on his feet with
nomination in his right hand. The
delegates had arranged to begin opera

ing to misunderstanding with the
Chautauquan management, the auditO-
rum was occupied by Rev. Joseph Cook,
and the delegates stood around pa
tiently for hours while the Boston divine
discussed the theory of immortality. 1t

committee reported on the Beadle con-
test that it could not decide which dele
CATION was in the right, and favored
division of the vote between the Rice

made to adopt the report. Melville,

The Republican party is the friend of the
working classes. opposed 10 ali legislation
hostile TO their interests and ready at all
times 10 adopt any measures that may i'm
prove their national prosperity. We deplore
the occurrence of anv conflicts between
labor and capital. We denounce the
agitation of demagogues designed to
foment and intensity those conflicts and we
most earnestly diSapproye The use of private
armed forces in any attempt TO settle them
We believe that an appeal TO the law and its
officers amply sufficient to protect property
and preserve the peace, and a reference to

arbitration the best method of adjusting all
disagreements out of which these conflicts
have arisen.
After the report of the committee on
rules and order came the nominations

were put in nomination. Pickler was
nominated on the first ball with
a good majority. Lucas was nomi-
mated as the second congressman

first ballot for second congressman
Jolley had 15S, Fowler 12O15, Washa-
bough eli, Van Cise 97, Lucas 1873. On
the second ballot stampede occurred
to Lucas. and the scene that followed
was of the most bosterous kind. For
some moments the chairman was
unable to put the motion to make Capt.
Lucas nomination unanimous because
of the confusion. but it was finally
done. The state ticket is made up as
