objection was made, Chairman Deuprey
made this suggestion the order of the con-
vention.
c. L. Weller asked il the report of the
committee on permanent organization,
adopted by the convention, would prevent
the naming of candidates for nomination
for Supervisor at later date than Friday
evening, the time fixed in the report for so
naming them. The chair thought there
would be no objection to those who de-
sired supervisOrial nominations at later
time.
P. n. Wellin moved that the time be ex-
tended until Monday evening. This mo-
ton was adopted.
Delegate Weller for the committee on
credentials desired to report the name of
James Dunning as a delegate to the con-
vanton in the place OF P. Mcdonald.
Henry Ach made a suggestion that, as
the delegates-at-large were scattered over

TO allow them to get together and elect

men had been thrown by the action OF
Rainey. At one time during the proceed
ings il looked as though the Sheriif's office
might be reached by the convention before
adjournment. In that case, as matters
stood. McDade was doomed.
The name OF Supervisor Denman had
been Withdrawn and there was no inten-
ton to place Sutro before the convention.
That would have left James without an
opponent and his nomination would then
have been made by reclamation. The con-
ventiou would then be ready for the omi-

only about 10 o'clock. McDade was in the

chorus.

''No. I'm too unpopular; you do it,
But Smith demurred and BrAunhardt
consented. He returned to his seat, and
after James had been placed in nomination
lie rose and took the platform. He had no
speech prepared and he spoke very briefly.
He was startled t. find that there were so
many SutrO men in the house.
The applause which followed the men
ton of his name was deafening, and Sam
began to think that he had named a
winner. But, as Clunie had said, the
ticket had already been made up, and the
votes did not sustain his newborn hope.
1t is said that Ralney has put Shattuck
on his slate for County Clerk, and that
Haley has been consigned to private life.
The County Clerks friends are not so de-
moralized as the Sheriff's, and they said
last night that they could win in spite of
Rainey.

late last night it was reported that Rainey
had changed his mind in favor of Scott.

would defeat the ticket at the polls, but
the protestations of the men of the
Sheriff's Office fell on deaf ears.
Sam Rainey saw that he held the bal
ance of power and he proposed to use it.
He said: Il shall ask every friend of mine
to vote for Richard /. Whelan for Sheriff"
That was the boss ultimatum and nUth-
ing could shake him.

deep disgust. They swore that they would
never submit to the dictation of the grape

DEAR NEPHEw:-The increasing law
lessness observed in the common herd
will have to be checked by stern mea-
suFee before long, It seems TO DO world
wide. The recent assassination Of the
French president, Ssdi Carnot, will help
US to secure repressiVs measures in the
New World. Before long the president
Of the United States may have his pre-
toriRn guard after the manner Of Roman
emperors. We must sedulously Culti-
VRte distrust Of the rSbbls. This term,
Of course, always means those of lower
order than the person addressed. By
depriVing the lowest OF what they are
accustomed TO consider their rights, we
can make q start. Then further ad-
vance is easy. By easy stages we can
arrive at point where men of wealth
and quality alone have anything to say
in the making, interpreting or executing
of laws.
Anarchists should be promptly hanged
without trial by jury or benefit Of
clergy" This heresy should be stamped
out. Any man who is bitter against
those more fortunate than be in 8mRss-
ing wealth ia an anarchist. These re-.
pudiRtors and income-tsx men are all
anarchists at heart. Possibly an era OF
Eettres de cGchst may be inaugnrated in
America, so that we may dispose Of an
srchists without giving them any chance
to air their views or work up sympathy.
A very large number of common people
would back Us up in killing them with
as little conjunction IS we would mos
quitos.
The apathy of the commons, the
"third estate" has always been on our
side. It has prevented investigation. II
has discouraged independent thinking.
But these Coxey devils, with their imp
ish sYmpsthizsrs all over the nation,
stir people up. Everybody has heard Of
CoxsY as they have Of your states SOCK
less solon. The calamity literature, /
sm told, is very widely read. How and
why is this? We send out innumersble
tariff tracts, leaflets and pamphlets, but
/ do not believe that even our editors
read them, much less the masses Of the
people.
It seems as il the present congress
may be induced (that is nice, inoffsn'
sive way OF putting it) to build the Mica
ragua canal for us in much the same
way that it did the Pacific railroads. We
also have another canal project in mind.
We want safe inland route 30 that our
war vessels can 90 safely from city to
city. From New York we would cut
across to the Delaware river. From the
head of the Delaware bay to the head Of
the Chesapeake bay. Possibly we may

is big with possibilities for US.
