REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS.

Two Called for Next Saturday
Primaries Set for Thursday.
The Republican county committee
had monkey and parrot time in ar
ranging the call for county conven-
ton, in the headquarters in the Endi-
colt Arcade last evening. The fight
occurred over the order of making nom
inatloDs for the county Offices. Chair
man Zollman is a candidate for the
nomination for county attorney, and his
finesSe was quite apparent in the
struggle alluded to. His friends
and cohorts insisted that in arranging
the order of making the nominations
that the county attorney come first.
This would be ali innovation and
t1agrant deviation from the system pre-
scrbed in the Australian law. 1t was,
indeed. such noticeable departure
that the anti-ZoIlman hustlerS smelled
something, and precipitated the fight
that resulted in the ignOminouS defeat
OF the ZUilman scheme. The animuS
should be explained to show to the un-
Suspecting the enormity of the project.
The candidate first to be placed in NOM
lnatlon IS perfectly safe in making every
conceivable combination, SO long as he
can be cunning enough to hoodwink Op-
posing factions, or so long as one fac
ton is unaware that another faction is
in deal with the candidate.
Hence, should Zollman have
headed the ticket. his supporters and
henchmen could have made promises
with Henry Johns and Fred Shitfman,
rival candidates for the legislature in
the Fourth ward, to support them for
the nominations they seek, and so ON
through the entire catalogue from coun.
ty auditor to county commissioners. The
nomination of the candidate then that
heads the ticket is almost a surety
III the event his cohorts are sufficiently
active and shrewdly promiscuous in
their promises to other candidates. But
after receiving his nomination he can
simply laugh in his sleeve at the foolish
virgins who had no oil in their lamps,
and were cropping their way through the
dark.
Then there was all object in trying to
reverse the natural order of things in
the interest of Zollman'S candidacy, and
it met with a black eye. Instead of
getting first place, for Illustration, he
got fourth place. The order of nomina-
tons finally decided upon, and there
was no particular fight concerning any
other candidate, reads:
l. County auditor.
.. Sheriff.
3. County treasurer.
T. County attorney.
5. Register OF deeds.
8. Judge OF probate.
z Abstract clerk.
S. Coroner
9. County surveyor
10. County superintendent of schools
IL. Court commissioner.
II. Six county commissioners.
b. Judge of the district court
After little discussion it was voted
to 6nl. II ftrA lkl.
elections OIL the evening of Thursday,
Oct. 6. in all the election districts. ac.
cording to the system held for holding
primaries to elect delegates to the con
ventlOn that chose delegates to the
state convention. The caucuses will be
held between the hours of 5 and Z in the
evening: The county nominating con-
vention will be held in Market hall
next Saturday at IL o'clock. and the
legislative conventions will be held in
the same place at $3.50 in the morning of
that day.
The committee announces that. mas
much as there will be two separate tick
cts at the primarieS-namely, the county
and legislative delegate tickets the
former will be printed on white and the
latter on red tinted paper.
After these details had been disposed
of committee on arrangements to pre-
| pare for the Lynch and Spooner demon
STATIONS, Oct. and 10 respectively,
was appointed, as follows:
+. w. Zoliman, Ii. S. Williams, SAM
uel Lowenstein, A. c. Clausen, E. H.
Oman, Fred McGhee. This committee
will meet at Republican headquarters at
O'Clock this afternoon.
The basis agreed upon is one vote for
each IS and major traction cast for Har-
rison in 1888. which will give conven-
ton of 167 delegates.
