The Republican Meeting.

The Republican Meeting.
Pursuant to call made by The repub
llcan committee, the republicans of the
First commissioner district met at the
Atheneum Saturday to take some
action in relation to the commissioner
ship for that district. AS has been
stated heretofore the chairman of the
old district committee is dead and others
of the committee have removed from the
county. The calling of a republican
convention therefore went by default,
Three candidates have filed petitions of
nomination as required by law, and it
was to consider the propriety of endors-
ing the candidacy of some one of these
that the republicans were called together.
notwithstanding the short notice,
and early hour, a large number of repre-
sentative republicans of the district were
present,
MI. E. G. Taylor was selected as chair
man and NJ. H. Jewell, secretary.
DR.. Bentley remarked that the tenn
perature of the room hardly justified
lengthy remarks. He was a republican
and he moved that this meeting endorse
the candidacy of the only republican in
the race.
This motion was seconded on all
sides and carried without a dissenting
voice.
The chair was then authorized to ap-
point a district committee of five for
the district, and announce the same in
the evening paper.
Mr.. Boucher explained the reasons
why this meeting was thought advisable
and how a regular republican convention
had gone by default and, as republicans,
how important that we keep up the Or
%ganizatlon and line of battle against the
common enemy.
As embodying the sense of the meet.
ing, the following resolutions we're
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, Through the failure of the re-
l puOAAS"AA SoAAAA III Va AloG COluullSs
! sioner district to call a convention in the
time prescribed py law for the nomination
of a candidate for county commissioner,
and
WHEREAS, There has been filed with
the county auditor a petition in due form
as prescribed by law, signed by the requi.
site number Of citizens If said district,
nominating George A. Welch, of Teller
township; and
WHEREAS, We. as republicans of the said
First District, meeting in mass convention
PURSUANT to call, to take such action in rela.
judged proper, recognizing Mr.. WEIGH as
a staunchr republican and as possessing the
proper qualifications for said Office of
county commissioner; therefore
RESOLVED, That we hereby pledge our
loyal and hearty support to Mr.. Welch in
the forthcoming election, and urge upon
all republicans in the district to support
and elect to this important Office a young
man whom we believe to be thoroughly
capable and in every way qualified for the
position and whose integrity, decision Of
character, fairness, and impartiality are
unqestioned. We believe the election of
Mr.. Welch will not only inure to the bene-
Ao VI lHC 1CpuDllCsIl pNIGS Ill tIlS
county but tothe advantage and best in
terests of the taxpayers OF the community,
and we therefore give him our unqualified
endorsement.
At this juncture Mr.. WEIGH appeared
and being advised of the action of the
meeting and after listening to the read
ing of the resolutions he thanked the
republicans present for their endorse
ment. He hoped, if elected, he would
fulfil their expectations as outlined in
the resolutions and merit their approba-
ton. Being republican he was anxious
for the solid support of his party, and
he would do his best to win, not only the
election, but the esteem of his constitu-
ents.
The meeting then adjourned.

DR.. Harcourt was summoned to Tap.
pen Friday, to attend Jake Hoover, a
farmer near there, who was temporarily
out of his mind, and suffering from
nervous prostration and other troubles.
He is reported better this morning.
