Audubon County Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Audubon Co., Iowa) 1885-1894, 1893-09-28
The Democrats Nominate.

was democratic convention day, was
the rotund form of Frank T.. Bradley,
at u. m, ambling to the barber shop
to get Tammany HAIR cut and shave
Brad was in the fine form OF old, when
he made and unmade men, and his
hand was up to its best cunning last
Tuesday.
The convention was called to order
at p. m, by q. A. Marlin in behalf OF
j. Il. Doak, chairman, and Ill. L. Funk
was called to the chair. Mr.. Funk de
livered himself OF another essay on
beer. He entirely ignored national Is
sues, but talked for half hour upon
the saloon. lie stated plainly that the
democratic policy is TO give saloon TO
any town or township that wanted it.,
but conld'nt understand the republican
position. 1t isn't necessary to enlight-
en- Mr.. Funk at this time. He is SO
blindly democratic that he will not see
the light. In fact he was compelled TO
change his opinion in order to get
away from the republican party. Mr..
Funk ought to be In the prohibition
party to-day, because he is so strong in
the prohibition faith that he stumped
the county for the amendment in 1892.
lie then wanted to save the country

save IL with u saloon. His ignoring
national issues, reminds us that two
years ago, when the democrats carried
the state on state issues, they
claimed that IL was "tariif reform
victory. The fact is that to-day the
national issues predominant and the
speaker only deludes himself and his
hearers when he processes otherwise.
During his speech Mr.. Funk absorbed
an enlarged Idea of his position, and ut
its conclusion said the next thing in
order is the selection Of a secretary Of
the senate. The convention gave him
the horse laugh and correction.
&. A. Marlin was chosen secretary.
Upon motions the following COM
mittees were appointed by the chair:
CREDENTIALs.--W. III. O'Connell,
Phillip Bickelhaupt and A. ID. Fiscus.
/ PERMANENT ORaANIZ ALTON John
Noon, Jasper Jensen and f. 9. Hepp.
Frank ID. Allen wanted committee
appointed on Rules and Regulations,
and the chair named Frank ID. Allen,
VIM. Rucker and j. w. Mcclure.
Parliamentary j, X. Evans raised the
point of order that the work was that
of two committees, the chair ruled &c.
cordingly, and simply called the three n
committee on resolutions, but 1t really
made no difference what name II bore,
for the heroic little band that wanted
to electrify the convention with reso-
lutiOns about lioies for the senate, lles-
tow for governor Dad Cleveland, Baby
Esther and all that, died In the com.
mittee room. TOO bad! A thing so
young and beautiful TOO badl That
n resouter from way back should rack
his brains and exhaust the platitudes
and then have his committee lost in
the swim. The stars go out and the
brilliant die young. Well, this electric
dash OF resolutions can be filed for flu.
ture reference along with Parliamentary
Evans speech the delivery of which
has been thwarted during succeeding
years.
The proper committee recommended
that the temporary organization be
made permanent and the committee
on credentials said that all townships
were represented, and recommended

mitted to cast the full vote Of the
township.
