A RED HOT Time

tion Last Saturday.
=. D.. Mordgaridee Named for Count,
Commissioner.

w. F. Wyatt, temporary chairman of
the republican county central commit.
tea called the convention to order.
Mr.. Gull addressed the chair, was re-
coeMized and moved that MIR. Wyatt be
elected temporary chairm an Of the COLI
vemtion. The motion was seconded,
put and carried.
Almost simultaneously with the
motion male by Mr.. Gull, MIR. Wilson
moved that II. ID. Jennings be made
temporary chairman, aud lie was de-
elarrl elected by MIR. Wils0n.
Then there was Az apparent split in
the convention upon the start.
Mr.. Wyatt, in a very neat speech,
stated that as a republican he was
ashamed that the convention had thus
resolved itself into such a disrupted
condition, and rs IL republican, desiring
to promote the interests of the party,
desiring harmony within it's ranks, and
looking to that end WAS willing to sub
nit to the wishes of IL majority "f the
delegate, present, aud leave the organi-
cation to them.
MIR Wilson stated that he was willing
to abide hy the decision OF a majority
of those present, excepting as to the
Temporary organization. which he he
lieved should stand SO far us MIR. Jenn-
Jugs was concerned; that he had been
ignored by MIR. Wyatt when lie all
dressed him, and that therefore his side
of The house w.,nld not consent TO sub
uniting the temporary craftsmanship to
= vote OF all of thu delegates present.
That ended the last opportunity of a
compromise, aud each side of the house
proceeded in its own way TO hold IL con-
vention and select delegates.
The ST. IL regards tile position of MIR.
Wyatt as emimemtly fair and just, being
perfectly willing to submit The Organi'
cation OF the convention tn II majority
