| Nominations for treasurer We're now IN
order, but Ike Dean objected. He was
| still worrying about those Mngry women
and children down in Cherokee county.
| So he made another talk and persuaded
| Frank Rawson to tell of the coal le-,isIa-
| tion of the last session. Rawson and Dean
both made good speeches and both eviuced
! their sincerity in the cause for which they
spoke.
Then Judge Sankey took his turn ut in
terfering with the order Of business
Colonel Joceyiu wrote out a resolution To
the effect that the convention Indorse
some pronounciamento issued by the
recent silver fizzle at Topeka but the
fore such IL large audiences SO he persuad-
ed Mr.. Sankey to do SO. Then affairs
became slightly confused. The conyen-
ton was willing TO pass the resolution
but they knew nothing OF the prouounciA.
inento. and AS it was late they didn't
wish to hear the proBounciameuto read.
Finally, after much trouble a compromise
was affected aud IL was agreed that II w.
h. Green. VITO was delegate
to the Topeka convention, would
confine himself to reading the last two
paragraphs Of the article the convention
would listen to him. This WAS done. The
paragraphs read had somewhat mild,
rauI pant tinge about them, and the crowd,
presuming they were fair samples of the
remainder OF the article, passed the reso
luton ana embodied III their own plat
form two pages OF matter, of which they
knew nothing.
Then came the nominations. L. T.
Daulels of Valley Center named l.. l..

There were no further nominations.
Both men presented themselves for in
sSection and although neither can weigh
much less than 30 pounds, yet both
brought wildly to mind the old
You'd scarce expect one of my age
To speak i'll public on the stage"
They were both as bashful ana embar-
rassed AS school boys, placed in similar
position, would have been. When it came
to a vote it was found that Teachout had d
very easy victory. The vote stood: Teach
out 133, Cross 43.
