Judgeshtp.
No nomination was made by the re.
publican judicial convention Thursday
afternoon, and Judge Rose, the dem O.
cratic candidate, will be reelected with.
out opposition. The convention was not
called to order, as only the Barnes and
Stutsman county delegates were present
the others being notified by wire not
to come. This was due to the decision
OF Hon. Johnson Nlckeus that be would
not accept a nomination, and to the fact
that no other candidate seemed available
at this time. Several able lawyers in the
district were suggested, but all we're
understood as not desiring to make the
fight, and the delegates on the ground
took the only course open to them by
declaring the convention off.
Judge Roses friends-and they are
not limited to any particular party-are
naturally pleased over the result. For
while they believed their favorite's
election was reasonably sure in any
event, the more conservative and best
posted democrats conceded that If Mr.
Nickeus was named, it meant lively

because l thought there was still 6

There is no record then to show the blot
which I eagerly endeavored to have
removed from my character.
As to my general principles they will
bear inspection and, I think, will com.
pare favorably with those OF some of the
members as we'll as some Of the officers
of your club.
Again you say in your report and letter
that $50 far as this club is concerned

sympathles are concerned for my errors
they come unasked. The sympath,es OF

and Jessie L. Bowman
of jamestown.
Republicans Ratify the Ticket
Chosen at the County
Convention.
Interest Increasing in the Fair
Project. - Some Stock
From Abroad.


Mrs. j. Nj. Bowman of this city, occurred
at the residence of the BRIDES mother on
Fifth ave. last Thursday, at $50 p. m.
The ceremony was witnessed by a few
invited guests, and was one OF the
happ,est of matrimonial affairs in every
respect. Rev. George A. Harvey Of the
Episcopal church performed the
ceremony. The bride, clad IN
beautiful wedding dress OF
Peerless white silk, with pearl trimmings
and Dutchess lace, looked modest and
lovely beyond description. The bride
was given away by Mr.. E. q. Bowman,
her Oldest brother. There was no brides
maid and no best man. The service
wac simple and impressive, and the
couple advanced to their station to the
music of the wedding march rendered
by Miss Mary McCabe.
The interior of the residence was
beautifully adorned by wreaths OF
flowers and trimmed with autumn leaves.
After the wedding had been consum-
mated, an elegant supper was served,
while the bride, declared to be the
prettiest ever seen in the city, and the
groom known to be the happieet, we're
subjected to many warm congratula-
tions, and the recipients of the heartiest
we'll wishes.
The newly married couple left for the
east on the 1890 p. m. train. They will
spend the honeymoon wherever the
inclination leadeth, probably visiting
Chicago and points IN the east where
each have friends and relatives.
Mr.. Wilder has several years been a
resident of Jamestown, and IS at present
chief assistant in the Office of the divis-
ION superintendent of the Northern Pa
cifc. He is a young man of worth and
is widely known and esteemed by oil.
The bride is one of the fsvorites OF the
social circles Of jamestown and has been
such during the years in which the
family has resided here.
On their return Mr.. and Mrs. Wilder
will occupy an elegant new residence on
Fifth avenue, now being completed for
their occupancy, by the groom. They
expect to be at home about the middle
of October.
