The delegate convention of republican
which assembled at the Court house las
Saturday afternoon demonstrated tina
the old party is full of vitality and vigor
Before the hour for meeting arrived tn,
delegates had nearly all assembled, ant
promptly to the minute, at 2 O'Clock
order was called. f. II. Madison wa:
elected chairman and John Rapp sec.
rotary.
Committee consisting of the following
gentlemen was appointed on credentials
S. NJ. Leidigh, J. n. Pope, Rufus Charles.
j. L. Finlay, NJ. w. S. Lawrence.
Committee on permanent organization
and rules and order of business was ap-
pointed as follows: E. Nj. Misner. Thos.
Weston, John w. Keith, D. w. Snyder,
E. D. Swan.
The committee on credentials made its
report, and it was about to 60 through
like {. streak of lightning when j. A.
Arment raised the question as to E. D.
Swans conversion from the populist
faith. Mr.. swan said it was rather late
in the day to raise that question as he
had already been appointed by the chair
man on very important committee and
rendered service In that capacity. After
ageneral demand had been made for
Swan to declare himself, the chair ruled
that it was out of order to question Mr..
Swans party fealty, but that he had no
doubt the gentleman would take pleasure
in giving the convention few remarks
on the subject, which proved to be the
case. Mr.. Swan said he left the repub-
lican party believing the issues of the
war were dead, and that the bloody shirt
should be waved no more. But that no
sooner had the democratic party secured
control of the administration of govern
ment, than it brought that sanguine
hued garment to the front. tore open the
healing wounds and renewed the suffer-
ing caused by the war, taking away
pensions without any other cause than
sectional hatred. He thought, under the
circumstances, it was about time for the
boys in blue to fall in line again, and
quit voting, either directly or indirectly,
for The retention in power of those who
manifest such relentless enmity to those
old veterans.
MIR. Swans remarks ELECTED hearty ap-
plause, and chairman Madison remarked
that we where ready to listen to Doctor
Millions confession.
The doctor was present, whether for
the purpose of delivering the new recruit
over to the republicans, or for some other
reason, we know not, but he responded,
manifesting similar spirit to the fox |
who discovered the grapes were beyond |
his reach. He admitted that Swan was
sincere, said the peoples party had for
six months longed to be rid of him. and
assured the republicans they were well
come to the new recruit. Chairman
Madison responded by warmly welcom-
ing brother Swan, and remarking that
there were members of the people party
against whom an injunction would be
served in case they tried to break into
the republican fold; that the call for con-
fession from DR.. Milton was not intended
as an invitation, but rather as grounds
for INDUCTION.
Committee on permanent organization

mending that the temporary organization
be made permanent, which was done.
