THE WINNING TICKET.
Republican Wisdom Constructs a
Wonderfully Strong Ticket.
A Hard and Interesting Battle Fought
With no Sores Left Anywhere.
D. mocrats C9ncede it to be One of the
Strongest Tickets Ever Nominated
in Sedgwick County.

One of the strongest tickets ever nomi-
mated in this county was that nominated
yesterday by the Republicans of Sedgwick
county in convention assembled at Gar
field hall.
One Of the most harmonious and inter
esting conventions ever held in the county
was the convention of yesterday notwith
standing the fact that the certainty of an
election in November caused good deal
of rivalry among the candidates; but u Il
legitimate and good natured way.
One Of the most representative bodies Of
citizens that has ever assembled in the
county for to exercise their wisdom in the
interest of the public good was that of
yesterday.
There was no cheap political practices
INDUCED in, but on the contrary every dele
gate exercised the power vested in him
by his party constituents in dignined,
patriotic and earnest manner
There were no trades, chickering's or
snap judgments INDUCED in and the
officers nominated 90 into the campaign
field uniucumbered with hastily made
promises or eutangling alliances of any
kind; they are ali free to make brilliant
racing record and they will unquestion
ably meet with success.
There was only Que object that the mem
bers of the convention had in view and
that was to put III the field strong, clean
ticket, men of honor, honesty and ability,
and no man can truthfully SLY that they
did not succeed.
The ticket nominated is As follows:
For sheriff, Ben. r. Royse.
For treasurer, john A. Dorian.
For register o deeds ;. l.. Barrett
For counIy clerk, N. A Carvin.
Fox surveyor W. II. kessler.
For coroner. NJ. n. McCollister.
For commissioner, Il. Webb.
THE COMMISSIONERS CONVENTION.
Promptly AT 10 o'clock the commits,
sioner's district (67th) convention was
called to order and A. H. Ward was nomi-
mated and unanimously elected chairman.
Ia taking his seat he addressed the conven-
ton in the following language, which was
received with cheers.
Gentlemen and Fellow Republicans
! thank you heartily for the honor con-
ferred IN selecting me as chairman of your
convention. rs have always deemed 1t an
publican convention.
A few months ago the fountains of the
Democratic deep were broken up and SUBJ
merged this nation in a Democratic vic
tory. As Republicans, we have no cause
to be discouraged; we may be batlled for
time, but Truth crushed to earth will
rise again''-tLe eternal years of God are
hers.
The principles of the Republican party
remains unchanged and the same. The
conteuted for by Lincoln, Gar
field, Grant aud Blaine are substantially
the principles of the Republican party of
today
Like the Bertholdi statute of liberty the
grand Old party looms peerless and alone,
the only analogue and true exposition OF
American good government. Its acts OF
wisdom and its deeds, valor and patriotism
are recorded on many Il gilded page in
pictured peucilings that glitter and today
constitute the brightest adornments Of
human history. and they Will gather
beauty and brightness from the soft and
somber shadows of departing centuries.
The mission of the Republican party is
not yet filled, before IL there is II great
work FOR it still To perform. May its fam
ing torch blaze on and on with the grandure
OF Il central sun making "Earth's wilder
ness an Eden and her deserts like the
Garden of the LORD"
At the last election many Republicans
became dissatisfied and allowed their
passions, like swollen river. to overleRp
their bounds and for time bury their
loyalty, love OF party, and their best judg-
ment beneath the flood; but the storm Will
soon sweep by, and the arch of promise,
the rock-ribbed principles of Republican
ism, will appear again in the riffs OF dis
solving clouds. And many of the Old
soldiers, l am sorry to say, in the recent
contest deserted their old comrade
one determined, distinguished aud ever
fearless i'll the defense OF truth: a Newton
in wisdom and an Achilles in consecrated
valor. and voted and gave their influence
to place Il man at the head of this nation
who loves them so dearly and reveres the
memory Of the dead so deyoute3ly that he
seeks pleasure boat aud engages i'll
throwing fish with Il hook and line from
Buzzard's bay on Decoration Day. Now
my dear old soldier, you may sit down
and repent ut your leisure of your hasty
ill-timed act.
As your rame disappears from the PEN
sion roll of the nation you can hum to
the good old tune, Some day
We'll wander back again." and the sooner
You wander back into the Republican
party the better it will be for you, aud the
you saved.

you who have labored long in the Demo
