ABSOLUTELY PURE

lIcan party's conduct IN repeating the
Sherman law and providing no substi-
tute. 1t declares that the Office of
county treasurer shall be entirely
divorced from the bank OF Fergus
county and that the Democratic nomi-
nees shall get along with fewer depu-
ties. The platform contains not a
not alluding to the tariff question at
all.
Thomas Maloney, of Gilt Edge, NOM
mated Sullivan for sheriff, and w. II.
Swope nominated J. o. Gilkerson.
Sullival left the room, believing it a
bright move to show modesty at that
time. Gilkerson was not in it, being
beaten by % to l l, the vote being two
short of the number OF delegates.
Theo. A. Sloan was nominated for
county treasurer over Louis Landt by
vote OF % to l3.
None could be found who would run
for clerk, but rather than leave the
ticket blank Robert McClintock, of
Lewistown, was named-a man who
has been good citizen, but stands
about as much show of election for
clerk as he would for the presidency of
the United States. Mr.. Swope was
asked to run on the ticket, but refused
any place with Sullivan.
Mr.. Sullivan nominated Dave Dea-
ton for assessor, hoping thereby to
gain Sheriff Deaton's support. Mr..
Dawes had choice, but was promptly
throttled by Johns and compelled to
keep quiet. Deaton was nominated
by acclamation.
For attorney, B. c. White secured
the nomination, responding in a plea
for harmony, which he well knew did
not or could not exist.
+. A. Barnes outran John Parent
for superintendent of schools by a
vote OF 22 to A, the Sullivan forces
deserting Mr.. Parent, who had de-
pended on them for support.
For commissioners, j. S. Phillips,
OF Utica VIM. Dundom, OF fLewistown;
J. c. Walker, OF Philbrook, and j. A.
]. Dawes were nominated. Mr.. Dawes
declined positively. Mr.. Dundom and
Mr.. Walker were named for the long
terms and Mr.. Phillips for the short
term. Mr.. Phillips presently came in
and addressing the chairman, with
drew his name from the ticket, having
stated in the morning that were Sulli-
van nominated he would neither sup
port nor vote the ticket. Mr.. Dawes
again refused, and the short term was
left vacant.
| Abram Hogeland said he could not
be elected surveyor, but as he was
used to defeat, accepted the nomina
ton.
The nomination for public admins
traitor was left blank, and Il. III. Mon
ohan was named tor coroner.
| None seemed available to run tor
senator, but Mr.. Carroll suggested ID.
s. Hastings, of Ubet, and it was car
ried with a rush, the delegates seeming
pleased to hear a man whose name
might be used.
f. X. Carroll was named for repre-
sentative. Our reporter truly sympa-
thized with Mr.. Carroll, while he ait
ed patiently for some word OF praise,
and was at last compelled to rise and
say what no one else seemed to know:
Gentlemen, l am an enterprising
man" Mr.. Carroll. after once started,
dwelt long and forcibly on his particu-
lar claims to the office and his quail
fcations. IL was pitiful sight and
seemed greatly protracted.
|, The nomination for joint representa-
tive was passed and the Sullivan
henchmen adjourned to lubricate while
the Democrats formed plans for an
independent ticket.
